May 03, 2024, 12:04 PMAt least in Melbourne, we always visit both, but (unlike the actual airline) the ANX lounge is MILES better than the SQ one.They also have lots of proper (read containing beef or lamb) food. Their desserts are really good too.

The best cocktails to enjoy when you’re flying
Apr 10, 2024, 04:36 PMSorry, but as far as I'm concerned, cocktails lost all their attraction when they stopped having a blender at the bar.Nothing best pineapple or banana daiquiris, but you need a blender to make them.Another good one is this 2 shots each of Bailey's, Cointreau and Kahlua, some cream and a banana an...

Review: Virgin Australia Lounge, Melbourne
Dec 15, 2023, 03:41 PMHad a number of visit to this lounge recently.Food is a bit one-dimensional, particularly in the middle of the day.

Probably a bit louder as you head further to the rea...

Singapore Airlines’ best (and worst) business class seats
Dec 01, 2023, 02:52 PMI would have put the A350 seat that's at number 3 at number 5.

This se...
