The Centurion Lounge Review – Tokyo Haneda International Airport (HND)
안녕하세요, Moxie입니다.  지난주에 한국으로 오는중에 일본에서 레이오버를 하면서 왔습니다.  지난번 리뷰에서는 하네다까지 가는 JAL 일등석 탑승기를 보셨고요. 요코하마에서 즐거운 시간을 보내고서 하네다에서 김포까지는 대한항공 이코노미석으로 이동하기로 했어요.  대한항공 이코노미석은 체이스트레블에서 조금 비싸게 발권했는데요.(이거 하려고 하얏포인트를 대한항공으로 보내는 이상한(!)짓도 해봤습니다) 일본에서 대한항공 이코노미석을 타다가 보니까, 탑승전에...

오늘 포스팅에서는 8월 첫주에 한국으로 들어오면서 타고왔던 JAL 001편 SFO-HND 일등석 리뷰를 보시겠습니다.  미주-일본구간에 다섯번째 타보게 되는 좋은 일등석 비행이였습니다. 기존의 비행 리뷰에서 알고있는 익숙한점들도 많이 있었기도 했는데, 나름 새로운점들도 많이 경험할 수 있었습니다.

2026 캐나다 Banff & Lake Louise 5박 6일 여행 – 5편: Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise (아멕스 FHR)
