New My Lounge at Heathrow T3 and Why We’re Excited to Visit
If you’ve ever flown through Heathrow Terminal 3, you’ll know the lounge scene is already one of the best in the airport. But this week it got even better with the opening of the brand-new My Lounge at Heathrow T3.
Replacing the old Club Aspire space, My Lounge is a fresh, modern, and much more relaxed take on airport lounging and as someone who’s spent a fair bit of time sampling Heathrow lounges over the years (purely in the name of research, of course), I’m genuinely exci

The Best Lounge at Gatwick? I Visited Them All So You Don’t Have To
If you’ve ever flown through London Gatwick, you’ll know it’s… busy. Gatwick is the UK’s second-busiest airport, and while it’s efficient, it’s not exactly known for its zen vibes.

Manchester Airport: The Worst in the UK for Flight Delays, Here’s What You Can Do
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.

My job was to stop delays from snowballing and get planes off the ground, even when the odds w

The Best Lounges at Heathrow – Ranked from Champagne to Chaos
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

DragonPass UK vs Priority Pass: Which Lounge Pass Is Worth Your Pre-Flight Bubbles?
DragonPass is a global airport lounge access programme that promises entry to over 1,300 lounges worldwide, including some right here in the UK. It’s often bundled with premium bank accounts or credit cards – think Barclays Avios Rewards or the Revolut Ultra plan.

How to Get to Tignes from Geneva, Easy Transfers, Ski Tips & Snowy Escapes
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.

Norse Atlantic Airways Carry-On Luggage Bag Rules 2025: What You NEED to Know
Does Norse Atlantic Airways Check Bag Size?
Yes, they do and they don’t mess around. Norse Atlantic Airways is serious about luggage compliance, especially if you're on an Economy Light fare.
On my last trip, even my trusty little Cabin Max backpack got the full VIP treatment at check-in: weighed, measured, and lovingly shoved into the sizer (yes, the metal doom cage of airline luggage). If your bag doesn’t fit their requirements, you’ll likely be charged to check it in.

easyJet Plus Card Review 2025: Is It Worth £249 for Frequent Flyers?
Let’s not pretend. easyJet has been the chaotic neutral of the skies for years now. Sometimes they’re brilliant – like that one time I got from Gatwick to Milan for £17 and they didn’t even charge me to breathe onboard. Sometimes they’re less than brilliant – like that other time when my “priority boarding” line was longer than the queue for Wimbledon tickets.

Review: No 1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 Is This the Swankiest Spot Before Take-Off?
Great question, and one that many Google users are frantically searching mid-terminal. The No1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 is not exactly front and centre. Once you’re through security, head towards Gates A1 to A5. Now here’s where it gets weird: take the lift down one level. It’ll feel like you’re being dropped into a subterranean bunker – no natural light, no runway views, and the mood lighting of a swanky members club.
