MemberNovember 10, 2023 at 10:14 am in reply to: What Is The Best Airport Lounge At JFK Terminal 1?In my opinion, the best JFK Terminal 1 lounge is either Primeclass Lounge or Air France Lounge.
Both are good options for Priority Pass, barring rush hour crowd restrictions.
Apart from that, for Business Class and Star Alliance elite status, Lufthansa Senator Lounge appears to be a decent choice.

The other Star Alliance lounges really can’t compare to the United Polaris lounges.

I haven’t used the $250 this year yet.
Wondering if it will stack with the $200 semi annual.

Big holiday period in Japan.

This is like asking “Will American Airlines open up award space around Christmas time?”
No, the flights are going to be crammed full.
I wouldn’t be planning on using JAL to get to Hong Kong that time of year.

We just had a 65-minute layover at CDG.
I was a bit nervous, but we made it with time to spare.
And so did our luggage.
But I knew if we missed it there were 2 flights following ours.

My experience using Frontier's all-you-can-fly pass - The Points Guy
Frontier Airlines touts the GoWild! Pass as an unlimited travel opportunity offering complete flexibility. Is that really the case?

MemberOctober 5, 2023 at 12:54 pm in reply to: Recent Data Point For New Global Entry ApplicationMy wife and I applied at the end of January 2023.
She got conditional approval in 48 hours.
Eight months later, I am still waiting.
When she did her interview, she was told it can take up to 11 months to get conditional approval.

Do NOT stay at Excalibur.
It was good for remote mattress running (but not anymore).
It is disgusting.
Go on YouTube and watch some reviews.
Park MGM was nice.

Yes, but in my opinion Amex Platinum and Gold are worth the slot.
Amex Green should be sign up bonus only if you are over 5/24 and just want to keep digging that hole.

MemberMay 9, 2023 at 2:34 pm in reply to: Does Bilt Rewards Credit Card Count Towards 5/24?Yes it does.
So unless you are over 5/24, I would sign up for a Chase card that has a sign up bonus.
You can always get the Bilt Card after you are over 5/24.
