The House Lounge, located at London Heathrow Terminal 4, is a new lounge by Etihad Airways on partnership with No1 Lounges. It opened its doors on October 2018 and I was lucky enough to visit just a few months later. Complimentary access is provided to Etihad Airways Business Class and First Class passengers but you can also book at the No1 Lounges website.
The lounge is amazing - no other words could adequately describe how I felt when staying at the lounge. It's an exquisite haven where you can enjoy privacy and a la carte dining while waiting for your flight. The House offers the following amenities:
- full waiter service
- a la carte dining
- open bar
- showers
- unlimited wifi
- magazines and newspapers
- comfortable seats
- charging stations
- children's area
Please note that the dress code is smart casual. Let's take a look at the lounge...

They have been educating wine lovers, enthusiasts, and wine practitioners on the many intricacies of wine through Wine Story Academy - so that many more Filipinos would come to better enjoy wine from around the world.
To kick-off one's wine journey, you start with Wine 101 - a bootcamp to the basics of wine tasting.

Luckily for me, Shake Shack opened in London way back in 2013 and currently has multiple stores scattered around the city - which means NO LINES!
While it's not entirely the same thing as the store in Manila, here are my thoughts on Shake Shack...
