 During my recent trip from Hong Kong to Delhi, I had the pleasure of accessing the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) — and what a hidden gem this turned out to be! As someone who used to wait near the gates for hours, skipping overpriced meals or settling for average fast food, my travel experience has evolved dramatically, thanks to credit card perks and airport lounge access. On this journey, I first enjoyed   The Centurion Lounge  courtesy of my American Express Platinum Charge Card, and right after that, I explored the Chase Sapphire Lounge — which honestly felt even more premium and serene. 📍 Location & Timing The Chase Sapphire Lounge is located in Terminal 1, near Gate 40. I accessed it around 8 AM, and it was blissfully quiet and uncrowded — a perfect setting to unwind before a long international flight. 🎟️ How I Accessed the Lounge I entered the lounge for free using Priority Pass, which was issued to me by Ame...

 As a frequent traveler who values comfort and convenience at airports, my recent experience at the SATS Premier Lounge in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 stood out as a pleasant surprise. On my journey from Singapore to Pune last year in September 2024, I had the opportunity to access this lounge thanks to my Vistara Gold status. ✈️ Lounge Access with Gold Status If you're a Gold member flying internationally, you may already know that certain privileges include lounge access. In my case, the invitation to the SATS Premier Lounge was printed directly on my boarding pass. While Vistara Gold members did not traditionally have the option to bring a guest, that policy changed after the migration to Air India’s Flying Returns program, where Maharaja Gold status holders are entitled to bring one guest. This is a valuable upgrade for frequent flyers traveling with companions. 🕘 Early Morning Visit – Peaceful Ambience I accessed the lounge around 9 AM, just before my flight. To my de...

On my recent flight from Mumbai to Doha, I had the unexpected pleasure of experiencing the Adani West Wing Lounge at Mumbai’s Terminal 2 (International Departures). Despite flying economy class on Air India, my Maharaja Gold status granted me complimentary access to this premium business class lounge — a delightful surprise that truly enhanced my pre-flight experience. First Impressions & Ambience The Adani West Wing Lounge is located after immigration and security checks at Mumbai’s T2 terminal, catering primarily to business class and elite frequent flyer members. What sets this lounge apart immediately is the sense of space and tranquility. I accessed it on a weekday afternoon, and to my surprise, the lounge was almost empty — just 5 to 6 guests at most. This gave it a very relaxed and exclusive feel, unlike the often-crowded lounges at major international airports. The lounge features multiple seating zones, ranging from plush sofa chairs to bar-style seating. I picked a cozy l...
