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
Concordia Lounge Review – Makassar (UPG)
Indonesia knows how to do lounges. The standard is almost always high, and the they are fairly ubiquitous (some, like Halim, are a letdown, while others, like Yogyakarta, are a revelation.)

Bracket Room Restaurant Review – Washington-Reagan (DCA)

Concordia Lounge – Bali Review
Concordia lounges are strung out across western Indonesia, and we certainly have no complaints about that. Each of their lounges gives you a feeling of true luxury (though the lounge in Yogyakarta may be king of them all). Yes, you may be flying Lion Air, but for as long as
Plaza Mayor Lounge Review – Madrid (MAD)
You’ve been swallowed by the proverbial whale that is Barajas’ Terminal 4, but worry not: this is no test of faith or twisted punishment for the stolen salmon you slipped in your pocket the Lufthansa Senator Lounge. This is a chance to hit one of two extraordinary lounges: The Neptuno
Neptuno Lounge Review – Madrid (MAD)
Beneath the undulating waves that are Barajas’ trademark ceilings, you are Neptuno, god of the sea, rewarded by the heavens with only the finest of lounge experiences. This, at least, must have been what Aena was thinking when they named this lounge, and with all the amenities a lounge should

Royal Orchid Lounge Review – Phuket (HKT)
For a relatively small airport on a relatively small island, Phuket’s international airport has an astonishing range of lounges. By our count, there are a mimum of six spread across two international and one domestic terminal. This little airport packs more luxury into just its domestic terminal than some other
PAGSS Premium Lounge Review – Manila (MNL)
Manila is one of those airports where you just beg for a lounge, for some sort of respite from the chaos. And, thankfully, in terminal one (T1), you get a bit of a break in the form of the PAGSS Premium Lounge. It isn’t the finest lounge in the Philippines
