    New J Sleep Service Offering

    Just wondering if anyone in here has experienced the new offering. I've seen a couple of pics on FT with some mentioning that the "Medium Haul" legs to/from Australia don't have it yet. Anyone have any experiences that they can report on as yet?

    JFK, early check in

    I'm looking at having to make my way from EWR to JFK. Plenty of time and options so no problem there. My query is can I check in for my flight 5-6 hours before departure? I'm on the 10pm flight, JFK-LHR, and wouldn't mind just crashing in the lounge for that time as the week beforehand will be...

    Lounge Nomination Fee; Possible to get it waived?

    New job and it seems Virgin is preferred locally (possible BFOD policy, not sure as yet) hence some lounge access will be handy until status obtains it. Has anyone had success with getting the lounge nomination fee waived?

    Golf - Oahu - near Waikiki preferable

    Well it's finally arrived and we go (as my 5 year old says) in 3 more sleeps.

    I'm not regarded as the snappiest of dressers but I sit here (BNE Q Club Lounge) staring at a guy that looks like a larger version of Paul Hogn from his 70's TV show. This prompted me to check the requirements and here is what I could find: Item 10.7 "Smart, casual dress standards apply at...
