Review – American Airlines First Class Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 3 (AA LHR T3)

I was happily greeted into the American Airlines lounge lobby by not one but four women at the front desk.  We bonded over chocolate as I was lamenting my “SSSS” status (extra security search) for the flight home from London to Philadelphia, which would be my first one on American […]

Staying Healthy on the Road – Travel Workouts for Everyone

Despite luggage space being at a premium, I’ve often sacrificed precious shoe space for my workout clothes, sneakers/trainers and good intentions (thinking I’ll find a cool yoga, barre or cardio class in my destination or at the hotel).  I’ve found that I rarely get to the local gym or boutique […]

Review: BA Gatwick Lounge South Terminal on a Long Layover at LGW

Six hours and fifteen minutes.  That was my layover in London’s Gatwick airport on the way to Amsterdam (AMS) airport before my transit to Rotterdam. If this was Singapore Changi airport, then six hours is easy layover to keep busy but in Gatwick it just seemed awful to be stuck […]

Refreshing Connection: British Airways Lounge Shower at Gatwick (LGW) South Terminal

British Airways World Traveller Plus Review (BA PHL-LHR-PHL)

I’ve been very spoiled over the years flying Club World (business class) on British Airways from Philadelphia to London return for work in my prior job.  Now that has ended, I’ve had to pay my own way to London (yes, I know cue the sad tiny violins) and have done […]

MAN Airport Gate 16

Connecting in Manchester UK (MAN Airport) from International to Domestic

I’m not a fan of connecting flights and try my best to book a direct flight as often as possible. Unfortunately, my London deal included connecting in Manchester UK and I had fingers crossed that all would go well as I wasn’t familiar with the airport and had one hour and […]

Icelandair Business Class – Saga Seat from Newark to Reykjavik (EWR-KEF)

For my first flight on Icelandair, for my birthday four day weekend in Reyjkavik, I decided to book Economy Comfort class, via my travel agent, which was slightly more expensive that Coach.  The added benefits were that the middle coach seat was blocked so only two people in a row, […]

My amazing race to the AirTrain from Penn Station to JFK with niece in tow

The only “reality” show that I watch is the Amazing Race.  It is fascinating to me as it shows the unpredictable nature of travel that we’ve all experienced at one point. The drama is much easier to watch from the comfy couch than to actually experience it for yourself. I’ve […]
