Lounge Review: The Qantas London Lounge

Lounge Review: The Qantas London Lounge

Making my way home from London to Dallas via Miami, I was surprised to learn that my British Airways flight would be departing from Terminal 3. While Terminal 3 is a bit dated, it does offer the best OneWorld lounges in London Heathrow. Not only would this give me a chance to grab a delicious breakfast at the Cathay Pacific lounge, but it’d also allow me to visit the The Qantas London Lounge for the first time. I arrived at…

Not quite ready to leave Australia but time to head home, we started our long journey back to Texas in the Qantas First Class Lounge Sydney. We had woken up quite early so I was still quite sleepy as we made our through the long security queues. The Qantas First Class Lounge Sydney is located just beyond the duty free shopping in Sydney’s Terminal 1. Access to the Qantas First Class Lounge Sydney is granted to those traveling in a premium…

Finding Your Alaska Airlines Record Locator Booked on American Airlines

Finding Your Alaska Airlines Record Locator Booked on American Airlines

I’ve previously shared a handy tip for finding your OneWorld record locator booked on American Airlines. But what about an Alaska Airlines record locator booked on American Airlines? Alaska Airlines isn’t a part of any of the major airline alliances but they do partner with quite a few OneWorld carriers. Airlines may reference these as various terms: Record Locator. Booking Reference. Booking Confirmation Number.  When you are attempting to manage your booking or make seat selections, you’ll find that using your American…

Lounge Review: oneworld Business Class Lounge LAX

Lounge Review: oneworld Business Class Lounge LAX

After a long light from Hong Kong, I found myself with a long layover at LAX. With time to kill, I decided to check out the oneworld Business Class Lounge LAX in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). I had access to the more upscale Qantas First Lounge in the same terminal but I wanted to sample something new. Access to the oneworld Business Class Lounge LAX access is permitted to oneworld elites with Sapphire or Emerald status or those traveling in…

Trip Report: Qantas A330 Economy Class | Sydney to Melbourne

Trip Report: Qantas A330 Economy Class | Sydney to Melbourne

Making our way from Sydney to Melbourne, a Qantas A330-200 would be our ride for the short ride between Australia’s two largest cities. This trip report will cover our overall experience in Qantas A330 Economy Class on a domestic Australian route. I’d booked this particular segment with British Airways Avios as the cash price was bit pricey for such a short flight. British Airways (BA) Avios still represent a great value for short haul redemptions, especially outside on flights outside…

Trip Report: American Airlines 777-300ER Economy Class | Los Angeles to Sydney

On the outbound, our primary segment was American Airlines 777-300ER Economy Class from Los Angeles to Sydney. We arrived from DFW and found ourselves with a layover just…

Lounge Review: Qantas First LAX Lounge

Lounge Review: Qantas First LAX Lounge

I can’t count the number of raving reviews about the Qantas First LAX lounge in Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX. Naturally, my expectations were high on my first visit to this lounge. I had just flown into LAX from DFW on an older 777-200 in the old Flagship First suites. I gained access to the Qantas First LAX lounge thanks to my OneWorld Emerald status and my international Cathay Pacific itinerary. This lounge also grants access to passengers ticketed…

Lounge Review: Alaska Board Room LAX

Lounge Review: Alaska Board Room LAX

I’ve had several visits to to the Alaska Board Room LAX and it’s my second favorite lounge at LAX after the KAL Lounge in the Tom Bradley International Terminal. Alaska Airlines is one of those companies who knows what they do well and sticks to it! I’ve also visited the Seattle Board Room in Terminal D, but I prefer the LAX location. While the LAX Board Room is smaller and subject to crowding as well, I’ve had multiple enjoyable visits. Located…

Booking Secrets: How to Find Your OneWorld Record Locator Booked on American Airlines

Traveler Question: How do I find my OneWorld Record Locator using my American Airlines Record Locator? I won’t be the first blogger to share this tip with you but it’s information that a lot of travelers are on the search for. For frequent American Airlines flyers like myself, I’m often booked into codeshare flights onto other OneWorld carriers’ flights, with or without AA flight numbers . This includes British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Qantas, and Royal Jordanian. Airlines may reference these as various…
