Coming off an initially disappointing first class experience on the outbound flight, I was hopeful that the flight – originating from a British Airways hub – would be more to my expectations. I was well fueled by an incredible time at the Concorde Room and a more frantic one at […]
In London’s Heathrow Airport, next to the Concorde Room is the British Airways Galleries First lounge. Since British Airways customers have access to the Concorde Room, the British Airways Galleries First lounge is generally for Oneworld Emerald flyers, although I read that the buffet options at the lounge were quite […]
If I have a weird obsession, it’s luxury travel lounges – typically airports, but also in hotels. I’m not sure why, but hanging out, drinking good drinks and eating good food while getting some work done and departing from a destination is decidedly enjoyable. Oh wait, I know why – […]
For this trip to the United Kingdom, we were staying in Bath, England, an incredibly charming town known for the ancient Roman Bath constructed sometime around the start of the common era.

The last leg of our trip was four days in Barcelona, at the Hotel Alexandra, located in the Eixample neighborhood of Barcelona. This followed our awesome stay at the Conrad Algarve, by way of Lisbon Airport, where we got to check out the TAP Premium Flagship Lounge. Now, back to […]
Our Portugal to Spain trip continued with an early morning (6:45 AM) flight to Barcelona from Lisbon on TAP Portugal. Despite the early hour, I wanted to pop my head in and do a quick review of the relatively new flagship TAP Portugal lounge in Terminal 1. The lounge opened […]
