In October 2023, we had the opportunity to experience SWISS Premium Economy on a long-haul flight from Bangkok to Zurich in a Boeing 777-300ER. Premium Economy promises more comfort and service than regular Economy Class and is aimed at travelers who value a more pleasant travel experience on long-haul flights. In this Trip Report, we give an in-depth look at the cabin, seating comfort, catering and the in-flight entertainment system. In doing so, we explore the question of whether SWISS Premium Economy lives up to its premium claim.
airBaltic Economy Class Airbus A220-300 to Tallinn
Our summer vacation was just around the corner and we were still looking for a suitable destination. Since we were already in Greece over Pentecost, we spoke out against the Mediterranean. For a long time we flirted with the Baltic States and finally decided on Estonia. After careful consideration, we decided to travel to Tallinn with the low-cost airline airBaltic. In our travel report you will learn everything about the cabin, the seating comfort and the equipment of the airBaltic Economy Class Airbus A220-300.

Singapore Airlines Regional Business Class on the Airbus A350-900 to Bangkok
After a fantastic stay in the SilverKris Business Class Lounge in Terminal 3, we were looking forward to our flight in Singapore Airlines Regional Business Class in the Airbus A350-900. Find out in the following trip report what amenities the cabin offers and what service you can expect on short-haul flights within Asia.
Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 737-800 NG to Singapore
The route from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore was the busiest international flight route in the world in 2018 with 30,187 flights per year, according to an analysis by travel information service OAG Aviation Worldwide. The coronavirus pandemic has certainly reduced this figure significantly. Nevertheless, there are still numerous daily connections between the two Southeast Asian metropolises. We opted for a morning flight with Singapore Airlines. I was very excited to see what the Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 737-800 NG had to offer in regional traffic.
Turkish Airlines Business Class Boeing 787-9 to Kuala Lumpur
The introduction of the new Turkish Airlines Business Class Boeing 787-9 was heavily advertised by the airline and caused a lot of hype even before its launch. When I booked this flight to Kuala Lumpur, my anticipation was also immeasurable. You can find out whether my expectations were fulfilled in the following detailed trip report.

Lounge reviews
BER Lounge Tegel
The BER Lounge Tegel at Berlin Brandenburg Airport offers travellers a relaxing break before departure. Whether you're a status customer or with a Priority Pass – those who have access benefit from a solid range of food, comfortable seating areas and good Wi-Fi. Here we show where the lounge is located, who has access and what you can expect in terms of equipment, food and drink.
Tallinn Airport LHV Lounge
After an eventful holiday in beautiful Estonia, it was unfortunately already time for the return flight. Tallinn Airport may be very small, but the Tallinn Airport LHV Lounge is still a frequent flyer lounge.
Oman Air First & Business Class Lounge Bangkok
Die Lounge-Dichte am Flughafen Bangkok ist erstaunlich hoch. Bevor wir mit SWISS nach Zürich abhoben, besuchten wir die Oman Air First & Business Class Lounge Bangkok. Ich hatte schon viel über die Lounge gelesen und war gespannt, ob in der Priority Pass Lounge tatsächlich Champagner serviert wird.
Lufthansa Senator Lounge Berlin
Due to the opening of Berlin Airport during the coronavirus pandemic and the associated travel restrictions, Lufthansa initially only opened a smaller lounge for all passengers with different frequent flyer statuses. With the increasing volume of travellers at the beginning of 2023, Lufthansa decided to expand the lounge offering to include a Senator Lounge in the originally planned area. Find out what frequent flyers can expect in the Lufthansa Senator Lounge Berlin in our review.
The Lounge Leipzig/Halle
At the end of 2023, the time had finally come: The Lounge Leipzig/Halle was opened at my home airport Leipzig/Halle. During the coronavirus pandemic, the Lufthansa lounges in Leipzig and at many other smaller airports in Germany were completely shut down. And even when travel activity picked up again in 2022, the lounges remained closed. So it was good news to discover this new lounge before my flight from Leipzig to Frankfurt and see what it has to offer.

This allowed us to experience the magic of these historical sites away from the crowds. But how practical is such an exploration really? What challenges and highlights awaited us? We share our experiences, tips and valuable advice in this article.
