Finnair opens new Helsinki business class, Platinum Wing lounges
Feb 20, 2019, 10:17 PMWhat is it like to use it? It was under renovation when I went through. Do attendants keep it a constant temperature / humidity or is this negotiated among guests? Would you unilaterally pour water on the stones?

Finnair opens new Helsinki business class, Platinum Wing lounges
Feb 20, 2019, 10:16 PMThe Schengen lounge is a zoo at 6am. Clearly cannot handle all the international passengers recently arrived and transiting to Schengen countries. Somehow got lucky enough to get a shower and a seat, but it was like Flinders Street Station at rush hour.As DianeL has noted, passport control can al...

When are inbound Express Path cards actually useful in Australia?
Jan 23, 2019, 07:47 PMI save the arrivals express slips and then give them to family and friends, who are flying economy and without status, to use on departure from Sydney. I have not tried it that often, but it seems to work because the individuals checking the slips in the security line are not expecting it.

Pyjamas on SYD-LAX and SYD-SFO United 'Polaris' Business
Oct 24, 2018, 03:19 PMHave to say, not a fan of the United pajamas. Not particularly attractive. Very baggy for a slim person. But more to the point, far too warm, when you already have a blanket over you. Have to bring my own, thinner garments in order to be able to sleep.

Best Star Alliance credit cards for Singapore?
Aug 17, 2018, 07:16 PMThanks, these suggestions are helpful. Two follow-on questions:1) Does anyone have any experience transferring an Amex from one jurisdiction to another?

Best Star Alliance credit cards for Singapore?
Aug 16, 2018, 01:12 PMHi all. I'm moving to Singapore soon. Any advice on the best cards for a Star Alliance flyer based there? I think I probably don't want to be locked into KrisFlyer, because redemption is so bad, but it would be good to have the option. Might transfer my Amex card, but don't want to miss out on an...
