Yeah it's nothing special. Yeah it's small. But it's Virgin Australia's only international lounge - which is great. The Virgin Australia Lounge Wellington opened in April 2019, marking their very first (and still only) international lounge. The lounge can be hard to find, so but once you leave the duty free zone - head straight ahead into the dome and you'll see a self service door to the left of gate 48. Virgin has more than twice as many flights from Auckland to Australia than Wellington, so building this lounge...

A comparison of Sydney Airport Lounges Sydney airport ranked number 21 in the Skytrax World Airport awards for 2019. Which is a pretty good effort. Apart from the current renovation of the express path through immigration and security, I think Sydney airport is fantastic. The huge ceilings give a feeling of space and calm, and there's loads of new shops and restaurant quality food options. But nothing beats the comfort and inclusions of being able to visit any of the Sydney Airport lounges! Air NZ Lounge I'll start with one of...

Finding the Lounge The Malaysia Airlines Lounge at Kuala Lumpur airport, in the satellite terminal, is renown for being difficult to find. I had read online that it was hard to find so I was prepared for a search. My tip for finding it, is look up to the mezzanine above where the Aerotrain arrives into the satellite terminal. Looking up, you will see the large entry to the Golden lounge. Keep your bearings, make your way upstairs (escalators or elevator), and find your way back to above the...

Great food and drink at the SilverKris Lounge Changi. But no views. It can be confusing to first timers, that Singapore Airlines has both a SilverKris and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge in each terminal at Singapore Changi. By default you could assume that the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge would be better than the SilverKris one. But for Singapore Airlines, their Gold lounges are for their top tier frequent flyers - and they're not as nice as their flagship SilverKris lounges. This photo is the entry to the KrisFlyer Gold lounge next...

Fantastic food, great views, and lovely mood lighting in the Singapore Airlines Lounge Sydney. I book so many of my trips so early, to make sure I can use points and get the best flights & connections. This trip to Koh Samui had been booked for 9 months, so I was so excited to finally get to the lounge and be on the way! As Singapore Airlines is a member of of Star Alliance, I was also able to visit the neighbouring Air NZ lounge before this flight as well...

The Air New Zealand Lounge Sydney has come a long way since the dark green lazy recliner style chairs from 5 or so years ago. It is now a large, open, light and bright space, with tones of pinks, white and black. The Air New Zealand Lounge Sydney is available to premium guests travelling on any Star Alliance flight. This particular visit, I was flying on Singapore Airlines, but it's more appealing to me than the Singapore Airline SilverKris lounge next door. If you prefer better food and a smaller,...

Private escort from check-in to Security After checking in to my Malaysia Airlines flight MH791 from Phuket to Kuala Lumpur, I was escorted by 2 official looking gentlemen through fast track immigration and security. I'm pretty sure it's a service provided by the Coral lounge service, for premium guests. There was a lady in a Coral uniform directing me to 2 gentlemen who took my passport and I followed them. Immigration and security weren't busy at all, but I would imagine that this would be really handy when it...

TG Lounge Bali - with live cooking and comfortable lighting. Not bad, Bali! The TG Lounge Bali airport (Taurus Gemilang) is used by Virgin Australia and other airlines at Bali's Denpasar airport. Aside from the Garuda business lounge, the only other lounge at Denpasar international airport is the Premier Lounge - which I think is much less appealing than the TG lounge. I visited this lounge most recently before flying back to Sydney from Denpasar - you can read the review of the flight from Sydney here. After security and...

The AMEX Lounge Sydney Airport is a trendy looking space,but the small size means it's usually overcrowded. It is next to the Skyteam lounge, just near gate 24. After going through security, head straight ahead through duty free and then veer left. The American Express Lounge Sydney Airport is open from 6:00 - 23:00, 7 days a week. It is available to people who have free lounge passes included with their American Express cards - more info here. It's not possible to pay to enter this lounge. Upon arriving at the...
