The Perils of Outstation Departure: Cathay Pacific "New" Business Class Service Chicago - Hong Kong

Long time no see everyone... I apologize for not posting more as we went through the chaos of COVID, last year of high school, college applications and more, but I figured I will now start typing up some reviews I've been wanting to post for a long time. This particular review is for a flight I did not expect to take - CX807, a service from Chicago to Hong Kong - and it was booked at the very last minute using CX's own Asia Miles program. Booking: The ultra-long-haul Sweet Sp

The Ultimate Guide to Mistake Fares - The Ultra-Ultimate Discounted Tickets

I was in Taipei visiting my family and on the way back at Taipei Taoyuan Airport, these fares got on my radar. Luckily, I was able to snatch one for our summer visit back to Asia before it got pulled... See for yourself... Mistake fares are just what they sound like. For one reason or another, airlines sometimes sell tickets at a cheaper price than they intended. If you see a plane ticket that looks too good to be true, it’s probably a mistake fare. Mistake fare can be for ec

United 787-8 Polaris- Transcontinental in the 'friendly skies'

A review on United's Boeing 787-8 from SFO-IAD in their international Polaris cabin My family and I spent our Christmas break in LA visiting our family. We found a very cheap economy fare that departed the LA area via Burbank, had a stop in San Francisco, and then continued on home to Washington D.C. Luckily for us WE GOT UPGRADED, which was a total surprise to Polaris from SFO-IAD, so here is my review on my experience. Boarding- My family and I arrived at SFO early in the m

A review on my trip on board Asiana Airbus 321 in Business Class from ICN-PEK. Don't forget to check out our Instagram: @theyoungglobaler, and YouTube: theyoungglobaler (links on the top-right of the homepage) Background: This ICN-PEK is a continuation of my trip JFK-MAD-BCN-MAD-JFK-LAX-ICN! I put it as a form of summer escape... My first time on Asiana! After having a great night of rest, I proceeded to check in for my early morning flight to Beijing. There were dedicated ch

Star Alliance Business Class Lounge @ LAX

A review on my visit to Star Alliance Business Class Lounge at LAX. Don't forget to check out our Instagram: @theyoungglobaler, and YouTube: theyoungglobaler (links on the top-right of the homepage) Security at TBIT was horrendous. There were tons of people in the line. I recommend clearing security at T4 and then connect to TBIT airside (especially at peak times). No priority screening either. I was lucky to have it cleared in 30 minutes as they opened a new lane when it was

AA Flagship Lounge LAX - AA Haven

A review on my visit to the AA Flagship Lounge LAX. Don't forget to check out our Instagram: @theyoungglobaler, and YouTube: theyoungglobaler (links on the top-right of the homepage) One of the little known perks of flying transcontinental Flagship product AA offers is that you get lounge access on both ends. I flew JFK-LAX, therefore I had access to Flagship Dining and lounge at both JFK and LAX. It seems to be an “inherent” rule, which is not stated in any documents, but i

Iberia T4 Sala Dali Madrid: Function, Functional, Functionality!

A review on my visit to Iberia T4 Sala Dali Lounge at Madrid's Schengen area. Don't forget to check out our Instagram: @theyoungglobaler, and YouTube: theyoungglobaler (links on the top-right of the homepage) Arriving from JFK, I decided that T4 in Madrid was a clean open space with a very transit friendly design (very clear signage everywhere). After passing EU Immigration, I found my way to the IB Lounge at T4. Connected off a transatlantic business class, thus as per the o

Iberia A340 Business JFK-MAD: Hop Hop Across the Pond

A review on my trip on board Iberia Airbus 340 in Business Class from JFK-MAD. Don't forget to check out our Instagram: @theyoungglobaler, and YouTube: theyoungglobaler (links on the top-right of the homepage) Some background. Initially, I booked JFK-MAD return on Iberia’s New Premium Economy. But one week before the flight, I was offered an upgrade for only 224 Euros to Iberia Business for the JFK-MAD leg. Well, I took it in a heartbeat - who wouldn't?? However, the upgrade

AA Flagship Lounge JFK - Admirals Club+++

A review on my visit to AA Flagship Lounge JFK. Don't forget to check out our Instagram: @theyoungglobaler, and YouTube: theyoungglobaler (links on the top-right of the homepage) After arriving on an AA short hop from DCA, I had 3 hours left to spend before my flight across the pond. My flight to Madrid was scheduled to depart at 8:45 pm. And yes, from T7. Any normal person could figure that the British Airways Galleries Lounge at T7 was probably a disaster at that particular
