    New Review – Sala VIP Lounge – Valencia Airport (VLC)

    Thanks to a fantastic invitation from Mr. MuellAir, I had the chance to visit Valencia for an event. On my return journey, I ended up with a bit more time at the airport than expected – the perfect opportunity to check out the Sala VIP Lounge in Terminal 1.Here’s how it went, and whether it’s worth a visit. 📍 Location & Access The lounge is located in Terminal 1, on the way to Gates 13–22. You can’t miss it – it’s on the right-hand side and clearly signposted. I accessed the lounge with my HON Circle status, but there are…

    New Lounge Review – United Club Hongkong(HKG)

    The United Club Lounge is located in Terminal 1 of Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), near Gate 60. 📍 Location & Access Access is granted to Business and First Class passengers on United Airlines or any Star Alliance partner airline. Since it’s not classified as a Polaris Lounge, Star Alliance Gold members departing on a same-day Star Alliance flight are also welcome. After a long closure due to the pandemic, the lounge reopened on October 8, 2025. Its location is well thought out — easy to reach after security, clearly signposted, and convenient for those with some time before departure.However, if you have a tight connection, allow about 10–15…

    New Review – Airport Lounge Stuttgart (STR)

    📍 Location The lounge is located right after security in Terminal 3, upstairs in the gallery area. With only 150 m² and space for 42 guests, it’s on the smaller side. That makes it feel cozy, but it can also get crowded quickly. 🛎️ Access Entry is currently quite restrictive: 👉 According to the airport, changes are planned for the future. As of now, these rules apply. 🍽️ Amenities Die Lounge besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem großen Raum, der sich zur Fensterfront hin öffnet. ✨ Highlights: 🥂 Drinks Some guests seemed to interpret the small bottled drinks as “takeaway options”…

    ✈️ Lounge Review: Schengen CIP Lounge – Faro Airport (FAO)

    Faro Airport (FAO) is the main gateway to Portugal’s stunning Algarve region and sees a high volume of seasonal traffic, especially in summer. While the airport itself is fairly compact, it offers two contract lounges: one in the Schengen area, the other in non-Schengen. We recently visited the Schengen CIP Lounge – and while it ticks a few boxes, it’s far from a premium lounge experience. 📍 Location & Access – Hidden, but reachable After clearing security and passing through the mandatory duty-free zone, follow the signs toward the CIP Lounge. Signage is decent but not obvious –…

    New Review – Turkish Airlines Lounge Bangkok (BKK)

    Today I’m taking you to the Turkish Airlines Lounge at Bangkok Airport (BKK).Since we arrived a bit early at the airport – once by Grab, once by train – we had some extra time for a bit of lounge hopping.

You’ll find the lounge at Concourse D8, Level 3. Opening hours? 24/7! 🕒If anything changes, I recommend…

    ✈️ Lounge Review – British Airways Galleries Lounge, Philadelphia (PHL)

    If you like to take a moment to unwind before a long-haul flight, spending some time in an airport lounge is often the perfect way to ease into your journey. The British Airways Galleries Lounge in Philadelphia delivers a solid but far from spectacular experience — a functional stop that gets the job done, but lacks the kind of polish and atmosphere you might expect from a flagship international airline. 📍 Location & Atmosphere The lounge is conveniently located just a short walk from the departure gates, which is handy if you…

    ’m excited to share a new review from our guest author, Michael. This time, he explores the HON Lounge at the G Gates in the non-Schengen area of Vienna International Airport (VIE), which will remain in operation until its full renovation in 2027.
