As I said we got bored of the Galleries Lounge so decided to change things up and test out the No. 1 (Priority Pass) Lounge next door. The lounge is available to business passengers of certain airlines and Priority Pass card holders (benefit of AMEX Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Citi …
I had no idea that British Airways had a business class (galleries) lounge in Heathrow T3 where most of the Oneworld partners fly from. Since our return flight to Dallas was on American Airlines, we proceeded to take the rather annoying shuttle bus from T5 to T3 right after disembarking from …
As Ophelia continues to batter Ireland, and disrupt flights and transportation across the UK, it has also had the rather spectacular side effect of lifting the sand from the Sahara desert and hurling it into London’s skies turning it red. Perhaps most interestingly, this phenomenon isn’t as rare as one …
This is an interesting bit of information: the island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic, most notably Napoleon’s final place of exile, has finally seen its first commercial flight.

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times, it is the age of technological incandescence, it is the age of political incompetence, it is the epoch of democracy, it is the epoch of idiocracy, it is the season of comebacks, it is the season of drawbacks …
We at Grabamile have wanted to put up a comprehensive list of hotels with great views for a long time now. Am I the only one to hear the absurdity of the word “comprehensive” in that statement? There is no way we can stay at all the hotels in all …
After my New Zealand trip, it felt like an eternity before I would get chance to go another flight. I know 2.5 months isn’t that long of time, but for a travel addict like myself, it’s a lifetime. Anyway our flights to London and onto Madrid couldn’t have come sooner.
