United Airlines will soon reopen its Hong Kong (HKG) United Club Lounge. This lounge has been closed since 2022 and will become the second Star Alliance lounge at the airport. loungenerd.com/news/united-...

Marshalls opens a pop-up lounge at the New York JFK Lounge. This is a branding effort to raise brand awareness but still worth a stop if you are travelling through T4 at JFK in the next week. loungenerd.com/news/marshal...

Fort Wayne (Indiana) Airport opens it first lounge to the public. The Gateway Lounge is now open to all customers. loungenerd.com/news/new-gat...

Tulsa International Airport (TUL) gets an Escape Lounge. This is the first (non-military) lounge in the entire state of Oklahoma. loungenerd.com/news/escape-...

Review of the (free, open to the public) outdoor terrace at the Austin Bergstrom Airport. loungenerd.com/reviews/revi...

Wish I could do a poll with Bluesky, if I could it would be... Do you think the Qatari offered 747 will become the new Air Force One transport? 1) Yes 2) No

Aspire Lounges and WestJet Airlines open a new Garden-themed lounge at the Calgary International Airport. loungenerd.com/news/aspire-...

The Real ID deadline tomorrow is giving me flashbacks of the Y2K times.

Just noticed this poster I took a photo of while moving through the Billy Bishop (YTZ) Airport (Pedestrian Tunnel) with a photo of Austin Airways. Before now, I had never heard of Austin Airways (nothing to do with Austin, Texas).

Walking around Montreal this morning I saw lots of things, but I randomly walked by this unplanned.

The day just keeps getting better, I am in a special livery from YUL to AUS!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU0h...

I'm curious. Do people drink less or more alcohol when there is a self-serve bar? I think it could be less.

This poor guy has been hand pumping something for awhile.

Desjardins Odyssey Lounge (transborder) at YUL. I was denied access, but the lounge looks nice and open with minimal amenities.

I have seen this before, but I don't think Coors Light is a local beer here in Montreal.

Got the prop seat for my Air Canada flight to Montreal.

I caught this Q400 departing (Billy Bishop Airport) yesterday from the CN Tower. I am very excited to be flying on one in about 2 hours.

Very excited to be at Billy Bishop Airport and Air Canada Aspire Lounge.

I took some public transport today. Including a train from Toronto Pearson (YYZ) to Union Station. I really wish this existed in Austin!

I really want to own this Porter glassware. Do we get to take one home as an inaugural souvenir?

Getting ready to depart the inaugural Porter Airlines flight from LGA to YYZ, fun times here!

Starting today (May 1st) New Rules go into effect for United Club one-day passes.

Visiting the shiny new Delta Sky Club in Atlanta (D concourse)...so far, very impressed.

United Airlines Opens Renovated Polaris Lounge at Chicago O'Hare (ORD) in Terminal 1 loungenerd.com/news/remodel...

I am getting pretty, pretty, pretty excited about flying on a E195-E2 and a Dash 8-400. Plus getting a chance to visit six lounges, this week!

I really want to start seeing 737 MAX 7s flying soon. Can someone please make that happen?

The two Qantas Lounges in Auckland (AKL) are closing for a major renovation and are planned to open in Early 2026. loungenerd.com/news/qantas-...

Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at LAX has joined with Priority Pass, with some hour restrictions and an additional $35 copay. loungenerd.com/news/virgin-...

Strange to see "Ship Number" vs aircraft registration on the Delta Airlines (seatback) navigation screen. I am guessing about 0.5% of passengers know what this means. I think N854DN would be much better.

Escape Lounge opens at lounge at the Brisbane International Airport (BNE) in Australia. This lounge looks nice and modern, and a welcome site to those travelling through Brisbane. loungenerd.com/news/escape-...

Singapore Airlines announces it will be upgrading three lounges at the Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2. loungenerd.com/news/singapo...

Oh joy! Lovely Portland International Airport (PDX) has a real speakeasy. And it's pre-security! stuckattheairport.com/2025/04/15/t... #StuckatTheAirport

Well this is something to look forward to! airlinegeeks.com/2025/04/15/p...

Is it just me or do others get sad when they go to a site and look at the social icons, but then don't see the Bluesky butterfly?

Oh COMEON! I have been wanting to do a Plane Pull for ages, but the Dulles Plane Pull and SpotLAX are on the same day! DANG IT!

Jabbrrbox and IWG group announce a worldwide expansion of work pods with a goal to add 3,750 pods around globe.

Priority Pass is now allowing members to use their associated credit card for lounge entry, vs having to scan their physical membership card.

Based on what I am seeing and the happenings around the country, I actually think the REAL ID deadline (May 7th) is going to hold this time. I know there are those that disagree with me but, I think it will stick this time.

Best Discoteca name I have seen. Found outside of the Ibiza airport is the DC10 Night Club, directly on the short final for IBZ!!

Air France has opened a refurbished lounge at the Pairs Charles de Gaulle Airport in Terminal 2D

LOT Airlines opens renovated Polonez lounge at the Warsaw (WAW) Airport in Poland.

After much delay, it looks like The Escape Lounge at Kansas City International (MCI) has finally received its liquor license, I expect the lounge price to go up soon from their $29.95 intro pricing.

Portland Airport (PDX) gets first Priority Pass lounge. The Escape Lounge has opened in Concourse D and is open daily from 3:30 am to 11:30 pm 3:30 am.

I am assuming this is a British English vs American English difference in wording "Fancy", but I am VERY confused by this lounge rule for Teesside airport in the UK. Anyone understand this?
