Anyone have any recommendations on the current AA Business class meal offerings to Asia? Braised short rib, Asian shrimp, Cauliflower steak, or Beef wellington?

I had the cauliflower steak once and really loved it, but I'm a weirdo who likes vegetables, so my recommendation probably isn't worth much.

Ugh I am stuck at JFK until 8:30pm and since I had to fly Delta today I can’t even get into a lounge to spend the day working (and drinking). Doesn’t appear to be any way to get from Terminal 4 to Terminal 8 so I can kill the time in the Admirals Club.

If you fly on Delta metal it's basically free Skyclub access.

Probably not good because there were similar delays this week after Tropical Storm Gordon stalled out over Arkansas. Flights from Texas to Illinois were canceled and the middle part of the country was storms. They’re predicting this storm will stall out in western Virginia. New York may miss the worst of it though.

If eating is your goal, it’s pretty nice and nicer than most lounges. If working is your goal, it’s not the best.

JFK Terminal 4 has a PP lounge near security. You cross the bridge after TSA and make a right instead of going down the escalators. It's... alright, I guess. You can get to other terminals via the AirTrain; you just have to go through security again.

I've done HKG to DFW then spent 3 additional bonus hours in Austin due to DFW area storms. That is the start of my "why you need global entry" because I was able to walk around a huge line to get out of customs and save myself ANOTHER few hours of nonsense.

I'm doing it in premium economy in a few weeks. Was supposed to be business, but I couldn't get the partner I working with to cover enough of the cost. e: Did DFW - HKG and back in business a month and a half ago and it wasn't too bad. The Cathay first class lounge helped. Too bad Dallas' lounge situation sucks, which is kind of surprising given it's American's biggest hub. I just got an Amex Platinum, though, so I guess that problem is solved from now on. psydude fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Sep 12, 2018 |

I've done DFW HKG a few times, Economy Comfort is meh, I'm excited about the premium offering, and my upgrade cleared for business, so that should be nice on that leg. Dallas' lounge situation sucks with the Terminal D stuff all closed up, the Plat lounge also sucks so I can't say that it is an improvement. The food and drinks are good, but it isn't near where I need to be and I've never seen it not super crowded. Of course, with a hurricane on the east coast and a typhoon near Hong Kong I might not be going anywhere at all.

American premium Econ is great. The only problem is the cost to upgrade is the same as if you book a Q class fare. I take it for the guarantee and EQM bonus but still.

So due the hurricane I am not going home this week. Instead I am going from Toronto to Vancouver. Teach a class next week then go home. To RDU via DFW. I think that qualifies as doing North America the long way.

Goon meet? porkface posted:Mak's Noodle - pretty good Hong Kong is a small city to get around. Food and public transit is a major plus. Shopping not so much anymore since amazon prime is better. Food - depends on your budget. It’s like NYC where you can get food across the world but it will cost you. Bars will cost around the same as well. Cantonese and local food offers more value of course. There’s dim sum lunch, southern style bbq like char siu, and roast goose. And your Cantonese dinner banquet food like steamed fish and seafood. And of course no frills Hong Kong diner during weird hours but if you are new to east Asia or don’t come often I would try (mostly upper end in price except thai) Sushi: tokami North Indian : Bombay dreams South west Chinese, numbingly spice : Chili Fargara Ramen : ichigen, after 12am when everything is closed, ichiran Northern Thai/Issan: Racha moo yang Central Thai : eriwan premium Numbingly spicy hotpot with fun service and free mannicure : hai di lao Local food Dim sum : fook lam moon Roast pork, roast goose : fook lam moon Congee : seng kee Wonton noodles : Mak’s, or whatever really old school place you see, shouldn’t be too bad Beef brisket: sister wah Vermicelli : I dunno Chaozhou : lok hau fook in Kowloon city rear end in a top hat service but nice and cheap : Australian dairy company, also try the mak’s next door for double food Local diner #2 : kam fung bakery, it’s next to my house AFTERNOON TEA: peninsula Honorable mentions, goon food Kam’s roast goose, a little touristy and pricey but cheaper than fook lam moon and decent goose. Motorino pizza - same as the one in Brooklyn, good dough and meat balls. Lebanese : Beirut, open all night long, good dough Burgers : butcher’s club, or Morton’s bar menu Bakery : bake house, good croissants, flour milled from France and croissants are fluffy Reuben : morty’s Salad: tallore Free flow champagne Sunday brunch , until 3pm : Conrad
