Ah, a review of a Heathrow lounge — this has been a long time coming. I used to frequent them, but as somewhat of a recent budget airline convert, I find myself more often at Stansted, Luton, or Gatwick these days. Things have swung the other way for the time being though, so we’re back … Read more
Edinburgh Airport has a slightly dizzying array of parking options for what is a relatively small airport. From FastPark to Multi-Storey, Mid Stay to Long Stay, official to unofficial… the list goes on, not to mention multiple pick-up and drop-off options. Personally, I’m a fan, because there are plenty of options to suit different needs, … Read more
Despite its relatively modest size, Edinburgh Airport boasts a generous number of lounges, with two recent additions bringing the total to four. Being my ‘home’ airport (and one that I fly out of weekly), this is very welcome and is quite impressive for a single-terminal airport, especially when compared with much busier UK airports like … Read more
With my sightseeing checklist completed, and in need of somewhere to work from, I arrived at Vienna Airport well in advance of my 8pm flight.

Just next door is the Plaza Premium lounge: Edinburgh Airport’s newest lounge. Whenever I’ve glanced down the corridor, it never seemed as … Read more
You might assume given the size of Stansted that you would have a few lounge options to choose from. I know I did, and I was surprised therefore to discover that there is in fact, only one. Of course, it’s less surprising when you remember that Stansted is all about budget airlines, short haul destinations, … Read more
The Aspire Lounge that we’re looking at today opened in late 2019. As a result of the pandemic, it took a few years before I had the opportunity to try it, but I’ve since visited on multiple occasions and I’m ready to share my opinion. It isn’t the only Aspire Lounge that exists at Edinburgh … Read more
As a newly registered Priority Pass member (acquired via Amex Platinum) who fully intends to get as much value out of the portfolio as possible, I’m currently on a journey of discovery into the good and bad. So far, I’ve been satisfied enough with the offering as a collective, but individually it’s been a mixed-bag. … Read more
