The Royal Jordanian Lounge at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman holds a unique position as the only oneworld lounge at the airport, making it the primary option for business class passengers and elite members of the alliance. Expectations are naturally high given this exclusivity. However, one notable policy quickly sets the tone: the lounge strictly enforces a three-hour access limit, even for connecting passengers. This can be frustrating for travelers with longer layovers who expect a more flexible approach from a flagship alliance lounge.

Plaza Premium First Class Lounge Rome Airport Review
The Plaza Premium First Class Lounge at Rome Fiumicino Airport offers a rare and refined airport experience that truly lives up to its name. What makes this lounge particularly unique is that it caters to first class passengers even within the Schengen area, something that is not commonly seen across European airports. While access is typically reserved for first class travelers, there is an interesting exception that makes this lounge accessible to more frequent flyers. Oneworld Emerald status holders flying on an Iberia ticket can enter, which is how I was able to experience it using my Finnair Plus status. For those without status or a qualifying ticket, entry is available for 70 euros, which may seem steep at first glance but quickly proves to be justified once you step inside.

I reached top tier status on all three major alliances
In 2026, I reached a milestone that gave me a rare perspective on airline loyalty programs. Over the course of the year, I held top-tier status in all three major global alliances: Finnair Plus Platinum, which corresponds to oneworld Emerald; Kenya Airways Platinum, which grants SkyTeam Elite Plus; and Lufthansa Senator, which equals Star Alliance Gold. Having all three statuses simultaneously allowed me to compare their benefits not from marketing materials, but from real-world experience across multiple airlines, airports, and continents.

Finnair Premium Economy Review: A Detailed Look at the Experience
Finnair is the airline I have flown the most in my life, which makes writing a Finnair Premium Economy review a slightly emotional experience. I remember very clearly what Finnair Economy Class used to be like before Covid-19. It was comfortable, reliable and felt distinctly Nordic in its understated quality. After the pandemic, however, the standard economy product was noticeably downgraded. What makes Finnair Premium Economy interesting is that it often feels like the airline has taken its old pre-Covid economy class, added slightly improved seats, and rebranded it as a new cabin. That creates mixed feelings. On one hand, the hard product is genuinely good. On the other hand, it sometimes feels like you are paying extra for what used to be standard.
