Hi support, could you please help me edit my details for 24/12 at SFO - my airline is UA (not "UA T3"), and the lounge is UA T3 Domestic. Thanks!

Budapest is absolutely worth a stop. So much to do and top value for money. Depending on your interests, you could easily fill a full week there, so 2.5-3 days might be a bit of a rush. For a mid-range hotel, if you like contemporary art, the Bohem Art Hotel is great. The included breakfast is...

The iittala flagship boutique on Esplanadi is beautiful and pretty much a mini museum in itself. They will even make you a free mug of coffee/tea while you shop! And adding to the general notes on Helsinki... +1 to the soup at Soppakeittiö (soup kitchen). The seafood one is popular, although...

More "two days ago" than "today", but I celebrated a family member's birthday at none other than Attica:

Yes, make sure you email them in advance to cancel the subscription! I have used this card before. It's a good deal. Actually, it doesn't just cover German domestic routes; you can also get a discount on certain international routes. I used it to get discounts on (a) a return trip...

Best: - Asiana A380 upper deck, ICN-JFK, half-empty flight, two seats to myself. Asiana still gives out slippers in Y. Great legroom too. Korean bibimbap served on board, Korean skin toner provided in the restrooms! :D - SQ A380 upper deck, MEL-SIN, two seats to myself on an otherwise rather...

My "first trip of 2018" is actually a December 2017-January 2018 trip: -Quick stop in Hong Kong -Then on to Tucson, Arizona for a special Christmas week family gathering, with a daytrip across the border to Mexico also planned (why not, when it's less than 90 minutes away!) -San Francisco to...

I flew SQ Y recently and the crew greeted me (*G with a partner airline) personally from start to finish: upon boarding, when serving each of my meals, and when I pressed the crew call button to request something. It was a very full, busy flight, so I was especially impressed that they made that...

Transit via Incheon Airport & Enjoy a Free K-Pop Concert - Asiana Definitely one of the more interesting free transit activities I've seen anywhere :mrgreen:

Just got back from KL a few weeks ago. Grab and Uber are very cheap there. From the airport, Grab offers a flat rate fare of RM 65 (excluding tolls), so I chose Grab both ways and was very happy. Grab also runs a points program; by the time I left KL, I had enough points to redeem a small...

Depends on the lounge and the airport. If it's a particularly nice lounge, then I'll make sure to arrive early at the airport to fully enjoy it. If I know the airport well, then I'll stay until about 10 minutes before the listed boarding time. If I'm unfamiliar with the airport or if it's a...

I have mixed feelings about spinners. While I appreciate the convenience in certain circumstances, in my experience they are absolutely awful to drag around on snowy/icy streets and over cobblestones, which spells trouble when travelling in many European cities. So I went back to an upright, and...

I was on an LH flight from Bergen (Norway) to Frankfurt a few years ago. We were already taking off, when I suddenly felt the plane abort the takeoff and come back down, just before the back wheels lifted off the ground. They announced that one of the pilots had suddenly collapsed, and that we...

My cousin was travelling in the US on business at the time of 9/11. Apparently he was due to fly out of New York that morning, but changed his flight to a later one at short notice. I think he may have been booked on UA 93 - but my memory of the exact details is a little hazy as I was still...

I just successfully redeemed a US domestic flight for the morning of Xmas Eve, which would otherwise have cost $500 AUD cash. Flight time of two hours. Absolutely crazy! I really needed this flight to make it to a family Xmas do. Gotta love it when you suddenly see award availability just when...

Well, at least the Finnair lounge offers a sauna as a quiet escape from the "zoo"! :mrgreen: (I had always thought there was nothing better than a shower before/between a long flight, until I tried having a sauna and a shower before a long flight in said lounge!)

My friends were "rescued" by Finnair's wifi recently. They were on their way back to Australia for a family visit, and only realised after check-in at Helsinki Airport that her husband (a Finnish national) had forgotten to do his eVisitor visa for Australia. So they jumped on the wifi during...

I have done figure skating since I was a child (I think I mentioned this in another fitness-related thread). I take my ice skates with me wherever I travel. I have this bucket list going on, of places and/or particular ice rinks I want to skate at in my lifetime. Have skated in some truly...
