On the way to NMRA BR. This year in Aberdeen, Scotland. I'm excited because I've never been to Aberdeen and I'm going to try out the new sleeper service.
First, I have to get there! Journey from home to Chicago O hare was uneventful. Security was much faster than usual, which was a pleasant surprise! Norwegian doesn't have their own lounge, but I thought I would see whether or not I could get into the swissair lounge that serves Norwegian. After our tremendous experience with Virgin’s lounge, I was prepared to spend money for access but it turned out I didn't need it. Unfortunately, I am glad I didn't spend money. It was nothing short of terrible after experiencing virgin's lounge. One poor person struggling to keep up cleaning after everyone and restocking all the food. Fruit and vegetables were totally wiped out. Pretzels, chips, and cookies not much better. Didn't even know there were meatballs until i saw them on my way out to the main concourse due to the noise level.
I'll comment on premium economy on Norwegian and my rail trip as well as the convention and Aberdeen in future musings.
