Big news for anyone planning a trip to Dubai (or beyond) this winter: Emirates is stepping up its London flights in a major way. From 26 October 2025, the airline will add a brand-new Heathrow–Dubai frequency, meaning Emirates will now fly six A380s plus one Boeing 777 out of Heathrow every day, except Fridays. That takes Emirates’ Heathrow schedule to 48 weekly flights, with a total of up to 13 daily flights from London airports combined

If you’ve ever found yourself meandering around Gatwick Airport, doing laps of the shops, eyeing up a £7 latte at Black Sheep or a £15 salad in Pret, pouncing for a seat, and forget even trying to get near a socket or USB port, then you know the struggle is real. That’s exactly why a lounge pass can feel like heaven. Today, I’m diving head first into the free buffet (having not eaten properly for days thanks to man flu) at the No1 Lounge Gatwick North Terminal – and trust me,

In an era of ultra-efficient, sleek jets like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350, you might think the double-decker Qatar Airbus A380 is a relic of the past. But despite whispers of its retirement, this superjumbo continues to turn heads and for good reason. Having already flown and reviewed the excellent Qatar Airways 787 business class, I couldn’t help but dive into what makes the Qatar A380 so unique in today’s aviation landscape and why it remains firmly on my bu

Manchester Airport has just been named one of the worst in the UK for flight delays. If you’ve ever stood in a long departure queue, checking your watch and wondering why nothing’s moving, you’re not alone. As someone who used to work as a flight delay controller at a major London airport, I’ve seen it all: late arrivals, crew issues, overbooked flights, aircraft swaps, you name it. My job was to stop delays from snowballing and get planes off the ground, even when the odds w

At last, some genuinely good news for travellers and yes, it’s from Ryanair. If you’ve flown with Ryanair in the past few years, you’ll know that their baggage policy has been… let’s say, minimal and strict. The infamous “free personal bag” that you squeeze under the seat has been getting smaller and smaller, while add-ons like Priority Boarding (to bring a second, larger cabin bag) keep creeping up in price.

There’s a new lounge in town – or more accurately, in the terminal. Escape Lounges has just opened their first Scottish location at Edinburgh Airport, and if you’re on the hunt for somewhere quiet to sit, snack, and sip before your flight, this might be one to check out.

Let’s be honest – Heathrow is one of those airports that can go from smooth sailing to “why is there a 45-minute queue for Pret?” in the blink of an eye. But there’s a silver lining: get yourself into a decent lounge and suddenly things feel much calmer (and tastier). I’ve been in and out of Heathrow more times than I care to count, and I've visited most of the Priority Pass-accessible lounges – some great, some just... there. Here’s how I rank them, based on my real visits

One of the biggest transformations slated for 2025 is the overhaul of Heathrow Terminal 3’s independent lounges. The comprehensive upgrade promises an exciting shift for travelers using services like Priority Pass or DragonPass as well as premium passengers flying with airlines lacking dedicated lounges.

Geneva Airport in winter? It’s basically one big puffer jacket convention with people dragging snowboards, ski boots, and duty-free Toblerone around like they’re prepping for a week-long après-ski survival mission. And fair enough if you’re flying into Geneva, you’re in the right place to hit some of the best ski resorts in Europe.

Flying with Ryanair in 2025? Good news – for once, there’s been a baggage rule change that actually benefits you(especially if you're travelling with small humans). The airline famous for measuring your bag with a ruler made of rage has updated its policy… Children aged 2–11 can now bring a Trunki or similar ride-on suitcase for free, even though it’s technically bigger than the standard Ryanair hand luggage size. Yep. You read that right. More space. No extra charge. No ne

If you're planning a trip through Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) in 2025 and considering a visit to the BER Lounge Tegel, you might want to read this first. As someone who appreciates a good airport lounge, I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired.

Let’s be honest – airport terminals these days can be a bit of challenge to get thru, security lanes, constant rule changes, stressing about your bags size, delays, Screaming kids, £7 bottles of water. So last year, I finally did what any self-respecting frequent flyer should: I got myself a Priority Pass.

Let’s be honest, navigating Heathrow can feel like a marathon. Whether it’s long check-in lines, chaotic security checks, or trying to find a seat in the terminals hustle and bustle, it can all get a bit much. That’s where the Plaza Premium Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 comes in.

If you’ve ever found yourself rushing through Heathrow Airport, wishing for a quiet escape from the chaos, then the Club Aspire Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 might be just what you need. But, is it worth the cost? And is there a better way to access this lounge without breaking the bank? n this review, I’ll take you through my experience with the Club Aspire Lounge, share the details about the lounge’s features, and show you how you can get access with Priority Pass and e

If you’ve ever stood around at London Heathrow Terminal 2 watching your flight delay stretch longer than your patience and thought, “Is there somewhere I can escape all this chaos?”, then welcome to the club. And welcome to this review. I recently visited the Plaza Premium Lounge at Terminal 2, London Heathrow. It’s genuinely beautiful inside, impressively styled, and promises an escape from the terminal madness. But let’s be honest, airport lounges aren’t all created equal.

Big news for Aussie travellers and Singapore stopover fans: From 5 October 2025, low-cost carrier Scoot will boost its Sydney–Singapore route to double daily flights, up from the current ten services per week. This expansion means more flexibility, more availability, and more chances to escape to Asia on a budget (well, sort of).

Manchester Airport is on the move again! While work is wrapping up on the shiny new Terminal 2, the airport is already gearing up to give Terminal 3 a serious glow-up. Plus, with Terminal 1 on its way out, there are some exciting changes coming to Manchester's favourite travel hub.

Check-in began in a lounge-like setting with serious private jet vibes — very quiet, premium, and smooth on the surface. There was even a private security lane, which added a luxurious touch. However, my departure from Beijing didn’t go off without hiccups. I totally missed that I needed an Australian ETA, and although it’s usually a breeze to apply for, it turned into a nightmare due to China’s internet restrictions!
