Review: United Business First Dubai to Washington

BySean

After spending an enjoyable three days in Dubai, we arrived at Dubai International Airport where we went through check-in, immigration and security without a hitch.  We had about an hour or so to kill before we needed to go to the gate for another round of security, so we headed to the Lufthansa Senator Lounge…

Three Days in Dubai – Ten Highlights

BySean

We arrived in Dubai at the interesting hour of around 8pm and quickly disembarked from my somewhat disappointing flight in United Business First from Washington-Dulles.  We were given express passes for immigration, but this didn’t seem to matter much.  The walk from the gate to immigration is pretty substantial, and by the time we reached…

A comedy of errors on this itinerary resulted in me getting pretty much no…

Review: ANA Suite Lounge – Tokyo-Narita

BySean

We arrived at Narita Airport after about an hour and 45 minute bus ride from the Hyatt Regency Tokyo.  Since we were on different flights, my buddy and I split up at check-in and planned to meet up again at the lounge. I proceeded to the ANA Suite Check-In, and WOW, it was nice. At…

A Twenty-Two Hour Layover in Tokyo and the Hyatt Regency Tokyo

BySean

For my return flights home to Washington, DC, I intentionally booked a twenty-two hour layover in Tokyo between my inbound flight on Air China from Shanghai and my final leg in ANA First Class to Washington-Dulles.  Why, you ask? Because I freakin’ love Tokyo.  And my buddy had never been. That, my friends is an opportunity…

Review: Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui

BySean

When planning where we would stay for our weekend in Hong Kong, I narrowed it down between the two main Hyatt properties in Hong Kong:  the Grand Hyatt and the Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui.  I wrote off the Hyatt Regency Sha Tin due to its location relatively far from Central and Kowloon….
