Kimpton Fitzroy London Review & Tour

See how we did it , see inside our room, and experience the incredible architecture in this landmark hotel. It was designed by Charles Fitzroy Doll, who also designed the dining room on the Titanic.

    I've heard that the flight Zürich-Newark is much better than the Newark-Zürich, at least food-wise.

    Your videos have great content, but I observed that the SEO could be improved. Optimizing your titles, tags, and descriptions can help increase views, subscribers, and rankings. Keep up the good work!"

    FYI you can use the inter-terminal busses to get from any of the domestic terminals to terminal 5 without exiting security. They run every 15 mins

    If I picked an available premium economy outbound then later found a business available on the same date, does that mean I have to cancel the entire roundtrip ticket to make a new reservation? Or I can I make a change online/phone without a problem (while keeping the date the same)?

    • @travelawardsearch8452
      @travelawardsearch8452 10 місяців тому

      Great question! As long as you pay the full business class mileage when you book the premium economy, you can change (with a phone call) if you find business availability. If you pay the premium economy mileage when you book, my understanding from ANA is that you would be stuck and would probably have to cancel and rebook to get business. You would definitely need to call to try to make the change.

    Are the fluffy pillows seal wrapped or are we trusting they are fresh and not used?

    I forget what a good price point is for redemption of miles.

    • @travelawardsearch8452
      @travelawardsearch8452 11 місяців тому

      First, if your miles allow you to do something you wouldn't otherwise be able to, they are PRICELESS! If you're deciding whether to pay cash or use miles, you should get a minimum of 1.5c/mile. Getting over 3c/mile is a great deal!

      Thanks so much! That's not an easy question to answer because the offerings change all the time. We did well booking Swiss through United for last summer (see our review of Swiss business class ua-cam.com/video/NZWEuJ1UgbU/v-deo.html). This video ua-cam.com/video/2TyDRylohSk/v-deo.html goes through the strategy for searches and will apply to your search even though the example is NYC-AMS. Hope this helps and good luck!

    Some Polaris lounge are busier than some.Newark,Chicago,San Francisco especially.I will be flying MCO-IAD-CDG in a cpl weeks on Polaris with a 4:20 layover at IAD,which is not as busy...Most US carriers is lacking when it comes to food and good wines..That was not the case back in the old days..and i know will never be back...

    • @travelawardsearch8452
      @travelawardsearch8452 Рік тому

      Very true about the lounges and how busy they are. Houston is also much easier to navigate, like Dulles. The food didn't seem that appealing to me when I went through Dulles several weeks ago.

    O’Hare is the worst for security

  • @rsbsail3528
    @rsbsail3528 Рік тому

    Do you have to go through security again at O'Hare if your connecting flight is the same airline?

    • @travelawardsearch8452
      @travelawardsearch8452 Рік тому

      Thanks for the question rsbsail! Most of the time, the answer is "No" as long as it is the same operator and not a codeshare on a partner airline. Terminals 1-3 are connected so changing between them or staying in the same terminal will not require exiting and reentering security. United and American domestic flights and international departures are usually in terminals 1-3. Most international carriers leave from terminal 5 so if you come in on a domestic flight in terminals 1-3, you will need to reenter security for terminal 5. Here are the O'Hare airport pages with the info on connections and the terminals for each airline. www.flychicago.com/ohare/tofrom/connecting/pages/default.aspx (domestic connections section) www.flychicago.com/ohare/myflight/airlines/pages/default.aspx
