Here is an extremely belated post for those who see I haven’t posted in months. I wanted to give a quick update and catch everyone up why we’re going on a temporary hiatus for Premium Travel Insider. First, a brief explanation of absence. Early in COVID, my family suffered a […]
At the start of the year, I flew down to Santiago, Chile, to visit a family member who is living and working there. I got lucky and my upgrade cleared both ways, leading to pleasant but uneventful (and no need for reviews) trips in Polaris on a 767. However, I […]
This week we are rolling out our next set of lounge reviews at Sydney International Airport. This week we tackle the less glamorous cousin of the Qantas first class lounge, the Qantas International Business Class lounge. While this lounge is nice enough, there are some notably differences. The Qantas First […]
The CLUB at LAS Terminal 1 is a contract lounge within Las Vegas McCarran international airport, accessible via Priority Pass, paying $39, or several other options. I found myself hanging there for a half hour before my flight home from Vegas. Having tried the United Club in the past and […]

The genesis of this Vdara Studio Fountain Room review is fairly typical. Late last year I had a nice long weekend where I went to Las Vegas, the city of sin. En route, for good karma, I saw family in Albuquerque. My agenda was, in fact, to do (harmless) sinful […]
If there’s one thing we love doing here at Premium Travel Insider, it’s aggregating stuff. Business class reviews, first class reviews, you name it, we aggregate it—lounges coming soon too. So it only made sense we brought our special brand of #avgeek-ness to points valuations. So with that, we unveil […]
Returning from our quick trip to the United Kingdom, it was time to head home. Due to both flight price and upgrade availability, we ended up connecting from London Heathrow (LHR) to Brussels (BRU) en route to Washington Dulles (IAD). Our flight was… quite early, departing at 6:50 AM. However, […]
