After my flight on the new Lufthansa 747-8i in First Class, I arrived in Frankfurt, with about 6 hours until my A380 flight to Tokyo.

Most news regarding United lately has been almost uniformly negative both on this website and in other news reports.

Since I was connecting to my Lufthansa flight and had a few hours, (and for the benefit of the blog), I figured I would visit the United Global First Lounge. It was a new lounge to me, and it was relatively close to the arrival gate for my flight from Chicago. This post is part of my trip report describing a recent trip that I'm referring to as "The Journey the Destination". Here is a ...

My trip began at O'Hare, as many of them do. I didn't like the United flight to start the trip, but I figured that the almost brand new 747-8i in Dulles would make this worthwhile. I could also visit the United First International Global First lounge before departure, which added a ...
