The competition for travelers’ lounge dollars has gotten intense all over the world, and with each passing day more and more unconventional spaces have popped up to cater to that interest, and collect those lounge dollars. For instance, we recently visited a “lounge” in New Delhi that was actually just
Salones Pacific VIP Lounge Review – Punta Arenas (PUQ)
This Salones Pacific VIP Lounge Review – Punta Arenas (PUQ) goes out to all the adventurers out there who have traveled to the ends of the earth to expand their horizons, challenge their imitations, and to post better pictures on social media than any of their friends. Maybe you’ve just
Salon Départ Lounge Review – Kinshasa (FIH)
The lounge we are about to review is so dominant, so unassailable, that it doesn’t even have a name. It is just THE departure lounge, or, as they would have it in the French language, the Salon Départ. That may be partly because there are no other lounges–the airport is
Blossom Lounge T4 Review – Singapore (SIN)
The special thing about Changi Airport in Singapore is that it has lounges for days. I mean, lounges for before you check in, a dozen lounges for every, single terminal, and lounges for after you go through security. And those are just the paid lounges. Despite the embarassment of lounge-y
Swift Salon VIP Lounge Review – Goma (GOM)
Much to our delight, we found that Goma offers one of the best lounge services that we’ve ever experienced. Now, to be fair, this is definitely not luxury at the highest levels: there are no lounge pools, and the champagne doesn’t exist at all. But sometimes all you really need
Salon Rouge VIP Lounge Review – Goma (GOM)
Well here’s a wonderful situation: Goma airport in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is not a very large space, but it has the distinction of having fully two airport lounges for the discerning traveler to choose between. The first one is slightly nicer, and offers you
Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Review – Frankfurt (FRA)
Bizarre as it might sound, one of the best lounges in Frankfurt belongs to Canada. This quaint little lounge has a decent selection of drinks and food. It has showers, and it has an aesthetically relaxing layout with good views. What’s not to love? Its a little hard to access,
Blue Ribbon Club Lounge Review – Koh Samui (USM)
Fabled Koh Samui: its where the other half goes while the sloshed masses party it up on Phuket across the penninsula. Yes, this is a Thai vacation destination that promises to take the quality and the tranquility up a notch. But how does the airport stack up, you ask? Does
Hafa Adai Lounge Review – Saipan (SPN)
Lounge Sharks is happy to present our Hafa Adai Lounge Review – Saipan (SPN). We are sure that you didn’t come to Saipan in the expectation of a five start luxury experience, and that’s a good thing, because this is not the great lounge that anyone has ever been to.
Coral Executive Lounge Review – Bangkok (BKK)
Imagine this: you’ve just checked in for your flight at Suvarnabhumi International airport (BKK) in Bangkok and you’ve got some time to kill before you’re domestic flight to Phuket. Of course, you want to break free from the maddening crowds in this less-than-ideally designed airport, so you decide to head
CIP Lounge Review – Dar es Salaam (DAR)
The CIP lounge in Dar es Salaam is a special place that lies close to our heart. This is a really, really great lounge. It oen of those unexpected lounges in an understated airport that keeps the blood in our gills (sharks have gills, right?) We’re writing you this extra
Jakarta Sapphire Lounge International T3 Review – Jakarta (CGK)
Terminal Three is the swanky new addition to Jakarta’s airport scene. While the older terminal and gates are still in use for domestic and ULLC flights, this terminal is home to most major international airlines (as well as hometown favorites Garuda and Citilink). If you’re flying international on anyone other
SATS Premier Lounge T1 Review – Singapore (SIN)
Every terminal in Singapore’s Changi airport (SIN) has a lounge run by SATS, a Singaporean airport catering company with an utterly forgettable name. It doesn’t sound luxurious, or even apealing, at all. Well, we’re here to tell you that names aside, some of the SATS lounges are actually quite good.
Papandayan Executive Lounge Review – Kendari (KDI)
For such a small airport in the corner of Sulawesi, Kendari (KDI) Airport is exceptionally rich in lounges. Depsite the small size of the terminal, there are competing lounges at either end. And that’s probably for the best, becuase quite a few travelers who come to Kendari are here becuase
Kantin Walio Lounge Review – Baubau (BUW)
Baubau is an off-beat destination, even within Indonesia. It shouldn’t be, though. It’s located on a gorgeous island with plenty of history and laidback lifestyle that suits lounge sharks like us. Despite its quiet appeal, though, for most international travelers it serves as a transit point on the way to
