Great tour of the Chedi, it looks amazing!! New friend here. Thanks for sharing 😉😊
Glad you liked it :)
jetblue gives me this inferior and not on time and rude airline. how you compare this with delta one?
Mint is pretty solid. The issue is that JetBlue has a lot of operational issues for things like delays: www.reddit.com/r/jetblue/comments/1bzf0w8/jetblue_the_worst_airline/
@@MandyRoams yea. staying with Delta
What airline/points did you use for SFO to Athens?
🪵
Around 7 years ago I went to one of these monistaries and was wearing shorts. I was given a pair of pants like nurses wear and was told to put them over my shorts. I did so but they did not fit very well and I eventually took them off and continued my visit without anyone challenging me. These monistaries are definitely worth the effort. Quite amazing places.
Definitely a bit off the beaten path (relative to the rest of Greece) but worth a visit :)
🪵
☀☀☀
Thanks for watching :)
🏰🏰🏰
☀️ We have been there a few times and it's my favorite spot to do a food walking tour. Never been to the near the city beach. Any recommendation?
I was there in May! I loved it! As you said, can’t wait to go back!
Any recommendations for transportation from the airport or around Athens ?
We took an Uber from the airport to the city. Mostly walked to get around Athens.
@@MandyRoams thank you !
In 9 Months, Me And My Beautiful Asian Soulmate (Maya-Minnie-Chu) Will Be Finally Getting Married In New York City’s Time Square On (Resurrection Sunday) April 20, 2025.
We just got home from an awesome trip to Greece. We transferred MR to BA Avios during a transfer bonus and had a companion certificate to use, so it was BOGO on the RT tix. IAD > LHR > ATH. We stayed 2 days at InterContinental for less than $200 a day (corporate rate) with breakfast. Took a VV cruise (Greek Islad Glow). Then we stayed 1 night at Dolce by Wyndham on points. Love both your and Sebby's channels. I've learned a ton, and we've taken some great trips with things we've learned from you guys. :)
Nice!! Thanks for watching :)
Excellent review. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Sebby told me to come here. Don’t make him sleep on the couch please :)
Haha, I thought he likes the couch! Jk.
We did Athens for a week last year and we went on a MSC cruise on the eastern Mediterranean. BTW: Kosta's was the best meal we had. We also stayed in an AirBNB near Koulaki.
Nice! Bummed we didn't get a chance to try Kosta's. Will make an effort next time!
Music was a bit loud, nice video otheriwse.
By concierge, do you mean the Amex one or through diamond status with hilton at the Waldorf?
The concierge at the Waldorf.
Gonna be there in Oct hehe. 🎉
Appreciate this video! Currently have flights booked and was trying to figure out where to stay! This video helped narrow down our choices!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Is it worth it the extra footrest space you get on seat 2A&H? Or much better to get one of the uneven number window seats and have the seat by the window? Flying delta one in a couple of months and trying to decide. Thinking it will be nicer to have a little “lobby” space by the door if needed to get up while laying flat?
I think it depends on you! If you're taller (or just prefer more space), than footrest is nice. If you prefer looking outside and daydreaming, it's a lot nicer to be closer to the window. I guess you could do the latter in economy though 🙃
Thank you so much! It is an overnight flight so not much to see. Does the galley noise and lights bother on those seats? I am currently on 3h. Sorry so many questions. Have been waiting for a while to try the suites and I am super excited. Flying to Chile, last year I was going to be on them and they switch the plane last minute to a 350L :( hopefully that wont happen this time
Sucks about last year :( I think the most annoying seats are usually by the back, by the restrooms. As long as you're not there, you should be fine :)
Do you know what they call a quarter pounder in France ?

Well done, SFO
Now they need to open a nice priority pass lounge for LAX
Nice! Thanks for this - wondering about Priority Pass for guests - how many can accompany a PP member ?
Depends on the type of membership you have. Varies by card.
Wow the foods looked solid! 🪵 I need a lounge in US has noooooooodles offering
😮 I've NEVER seen a "Club" that looks like that. Now that's nice!
🪵Great video. I want more close up of the food in the lounges/hotels.
this is the international terminal right? seems like SFO is finally really coming up! Now only if OAK got a better lounge than the priority pass one.... 🪵
Harvey Milk T1 :) Southwest, AA, and JetBlue. OAK Escape Lounge just joined Priority Pass (part of Sebby's video for Sunday). We've only been a few times but liked it! 🫠
@@MandyRoams I'm excited to see your and Sebby's thoughts on it! I'm a regular there as OAKs my primary airport for work trips and was thinking perhaps it's time for some competition!
This should appease those complainers that Lounges are too packed. It looks really big, definitely going to drop by this when I go on a trip in November!
Also, I think more lounges = more overall capacity = less crowding as a whole. Lounges are still doing a lot of catch-up to account for the number of premium cardholders. A big focus of the airlines, credit card companies, and just other groups as a whole, are adding lounge capacity. I think we'll be in a good spot in 3-5 years :)
It was at capacity on opening day. Too busy and hectic, mediocre food at best. Worth a visit during off hours as it’s a beautiful space, but the terminal is modern and actually less hectic than the lounge. People foam at the mouth for free food so it will stay busy, but I’d rather seek refuge in the admiral’s club, chill at the gate, or go to a terminal restaurant.
Do you have AC through the Citi AA Exec? or non-AA OW status?
Great lounge review ❤. Can’t wait to check it out next time when I am at SFO🎉🎉🎉
Thats crazy that this is a "The Club", between this and the Sapphire lounges they run, they are really changing their reputation! Thanks for this video, I didn't even know this was a thing, seems like it hasn't hit the rest of the blogosphere yet. With the loss of PP restaurants on the CSR, this will be my new stop. However, with this being open to PP and the amount of premium card holders in the Bay Area, I imagine this lounge will soon have very long lines.
I'm hoping they'll add a Sapphire Lounge in SFO as well :)
🪵 I'll visit soon, but someone stole my coffee and challenged my credentials when I visited the CSR lounge at BOS. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
🪵 It's about time they opened a quality Priority Pass lounge option at SFO! (That isn't an airline specific lounge) Also glad all the other terminals are connected past TSA now! Let the lounge hopping begin! 😄 Great video as always Mandy! 👍
Agree! The Club is a welcome addition to SFO! :)
Mandy me and P2 watch every video religiously but just a suggestion, there’s a ton of overlap between you two and it gets stale seeing the same topics from 2 different points of view. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching and the feedback! :) This one was posted back to back since the lounge graciously invited us to the PR day, so publishing the video in a timely manner felt appropriate. For future vlogs, I'll tell Seb to find a different and more unique angle. Haha.
@@MandyRoamsCounter argument. the overlap registered as a “suggested video” after I watched his. I didn’t know you had a channel, so overlap might be a strategic way to gain more followers! I do prefer two different perspectives on a topic. So maybe make sebby mention your channel a bit more, I had no idea your channel was going!
Found you through Ask Sebby and I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for creating such great content.
Awesome! Thank you!
such under rated quality videos! 🪵
Thank you! 😊
So, i understand that you can travel (air side) from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 now. Do you feel it would be worth it to go from (for example) Terminal 3 to Terminal 1 to use the lounge? [eta] Meaning if you had a flight leaving out of Terminal 3 . . .
I think it’s a good lounge experience, especially if the Centurion lounge has a long wait to get in.
If you’re a fast walker, might take ~10 min to get there. Worth checking it out.
Excellent video! My husband and I are going to Greece in September and can’t wait.😊
Are there many restaurants outside the resort, or are they mainly other resort restaurants that you can go to?
The only other restaurants are on the main island or other resorts. You'll have to arrange transportation w/ the concierge for either one.
@@MandyRoams thank you 😊
Also, how did you like Business Class relative to First Class for JAL Boeing 777? Worth waiting for a first class seat and spending the extra points in your opinion?
Worth trying first class at least once!
Love it, are you using a DJI Osmo 3? The quality is great.
Yup! Travel mics: amzn.to/3VOsMqy Pocket camera: amzn.to/45vB0ap Camera: amzn.to/3XxAwyz

☁☁☁
wow looks like a magical place!
Add it to your list to visit! :P
Never knew you could book China Airlines through Qantas as they are different alliances, definitely check this in future.
☁ I went this past February, and this was my favorite part of our trip! We booked with a tour bus and got there around 1 pm. The tour had a lunch stop in Kalabaka but the moussaka I had was not very good unfortunately. I think your way of renting a car is the way to go to have more agency on where and when you visit. Do you have / need an international driver's license?
Yes, you need to have an international driver's license. Hope you get to try some good moussaka next time!
