    The centurion lounge las vegas

    I was unaware this existed until today. Was walking by and thought I would ask if a lowly platinum charge holder could get in. Answer was yes with 2 guests completely free. Wow what a huge step up over every USA domestic lounge I have been in. Hot food buffet, full drinks bar with an excellent...

    ANA trip report 787 business class Tokyo to seattle.....finally

    So that's it for this report. Overall I would say I still think ANA is one of my favourite airlines to fly on. But as stated next time I will try to make sure I am on the 777 over the 787. It's probably all in my head but I am sure the beds were longer and that makes a huge difference when...

    ANA trip report 787 business class Tokyo to seattle.....finally

    Some photos of the food. I ordered the Japanese menu as I had it last year and thought it was excellent. This year it was just average. I think on my return trip I will choose the western menu. It looked much nicer.

    ANA trip report 787 business class Tokyo to seattle.....finally

    Well flight done and I have to say given the choice I would take the 777-300er. My reasons for this: 1. I prefer the old style windows with a shade over the new electronic style. 2. I know the 787 is claimed to be quiter but I did not notice any difference at all....if anything a little more...

    ANA trip report 787 business class Tokyo to seattle.....finally

    Just a brief history before I get into this I was supposed to fly this route last year but the grounding of the 787 fleet prevented it. Ended up flying the 777-300ER to SFO instead which was one of the most enjoyable flights I have had. So it should be good to compare the two. I am writing the...

    Yosemite National Park Accommodation September 2014

    Well first let me say yosemite is my favourite travel spot, somehow or other I seem to end up there every year. Usually I stay in the backcountry but I have stayed at the Ahwahnee and the lodge at the falls. Location wise the lodge is closer to everything in terms of restaurants and buses for...

    Las Vegas hotels

    One more vote gor the MGM can not beat it for value for money. But if as you say you prefer a hotel with no casino then I can strongly recommend the Trump. Big rooms, very new 5* hotel and only a short walk (about 5 mins) to the Wynn/Encore end of the strip. Can usually be had for under $100 a...

    Is there any such thing as an upgrade on DJ?

    I flew DJ472 in January and I am pretty sure there was no premium economy seating on that flight which seemed odd to me. Interestingly on the flight back we were on a brand new plane (747-800 I believe) and there was no in flight entertainment offered. I guess they don't like us that much in...

    Expedia.co.uk 20GBP off any booking

    I had a look through the posts on the board and it appears no one here has picked up on this excellent opportunity. Expedia UK is offering 20 pounds off most bookings for as little as a one night stay. Catch is you have to be a new expedia UK member. A friend of mine sent me the code and it...
