Miss the “golden days of travel”? Try the Pan-Am Experience – By Noah Mark
*Most long time readers know that my family heritage with aviation runs a few generations. My granddad worked for Pan-Am way back when and my uncle was a pilot (not with Pan-Am) for many years. With parents living all over the world I always traveled. I loved hearing stories of my mom’s Pan-Am flying experiences from “back in the day”! So when Noah Mark (a frequent contributor here on the blog) told me about the adventure he was going on I really wanted to go, but I was in Sweden for much of May this year so it did not

Korean Air Starts Airbus A350-900 Service
As of 27 January, Korean Air starts Airbus A350-900 service. The inaugural flight of KE’s newest aircraft type connected Seoul Incheon (ICN) to Osaka Kansai (KIX). Indeed, with Japan being a rapidly growing center of inbound tourism, it was no surprise that Korean Air opted for a short-haul across the Sea of Japan. (the second link opens a .pdf) The reason I highlighted the phrase short-haul is because I was aboard a United Boeing 787-800 in its first few weeks of TPAC (Transpacific) service. That was a big whoops, because it had to make an emergency landing. Fortunately,

Lounge Review: United Club℠ (CLE – Gates C14 and C16)
While traveling home this morning, I got to go back to a United Club℠ that I have not been to in many years. It’s been so long that I think it was a Continental President’s Club the last time I visited it at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE). The lounge is located in the Main Terminal, Concourse C between Gates C14 and C16. My visit was short, but it served its purpose this morning. Access is granted for those with United Club℠ memberships, day passes from Chase co-branded credit cards or purchased for $59, Global Services® members, United passengers

This trip report can also be seen in Youtube video format from below link: At the end of 2013, I was planning another ride on the timeless classic of Iran Air B747-SP and Biman Bangladesh DC-10-30, both flies in and out of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia so it is a no brainer to fly the SP in and DC-10 out of KL!

Everything you need to know about how to watch sumo wrestling in Tokyo, Japan in 2025 and 2026: When and how to buy tickets, where to sit and tips for the best experience. We were determined to view a sumo wrestling match during our first trip to Japan. There were no tournaments that month so we took a very early train ride into a non-touristy part of Tokyo to watch the wrestlers practice at a sumo stable. As luck would have it, practice was canceled that day. Fortunately, our next trip to Tokyo was during a Sumo Grand Tournament
