Novotel Hotel St Pancras London (review, video & photos)

…l, which is a short walk from Kings Cross and St Pancras (the new Eurostar terminal) the night before catching an early train to Paris. I got the room by using Airmiles and so do not pay anything for it. I would have been less than happy if I had. Perhaps as the room was bought using an Airmiles redemption, we got a less than ideal room. The room was on the 4th floor and so the noise from the main road was fairly relentless and pretty annoying. Al…

New York Newark Airport: Marriot Hotel (Video and review)

…hotel shuttle bus runs 24 hours and it took me about 7 minutes to get the Terminal where my Virgin Atlantic flight was leaving from. It was, though, quite hard to get to the hotel when I was dropped off by my car. We seemed to drive around it a lot before getting to the actual entrance. The location is the hotel’s main benefit. Other than that it has 2 other strong points in my view: 1.The Marriot beds and pillows which I think are fantastic and…

Continental Airlines USA Review

…there was nowhere else to plug in my laptop and get wireless access in the terminal. The lounge was pretty good, large and with lots of space and food and drink, plus free wireless access. The seats in First Class on Continental were much better than people had told me they would be. There was lots of room to stretch out. I am 6’2” and could not touch the seat in front of me. They had a great innovation where you can plug your normal plug in from…

Virgin Atlantic versus British Airways. Why I prefer BA!!

…undoubtedly innovative elements like the amazing lounge at London Heathrow Terminal 3. To see my photos, a video and commentary of the stunning Virgin Atlantic Heathrow lounge: click here. Virgin also were the first to introduce the “herringbone” layout for their Upper Class (what they call their business class), where all seats have aisle access and clever flat beds as the whole seat flips over to create a completely flat surface. They are still…

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Review. Still Special?

…siness class services offered by other airlines. Virgin Upper Class Lounge Terminal 3 I wrote an article a few years ago that called the Virgin Lounge the best airline lounge in the world.

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney Video and Review : Iconic View. Exceptional Service

…d most mornings by the sight of a cruise ship docked at the passenger port terminal. So not only did I have the pleasure of enjoying a living postcard outside my room – but had the added thrill of throwing open the curtains in the morning to see what cruise line was in town. It also provided a great seat to watch the ships arriving and departing. The view is not the only thing that was exceptional about staying at the Four Seasons. The service imp…
