This time we went to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus during the Whitsun holidays. On the return journey, we were lucky enough to fly Aegean Airlines Business Class in the Airbus A321neo from Athens to Berlin.
Aegean Airlines has been investing heavily in its airport lounges since September 2021, revamping them with the new corporate design, "AEGEAN's neo era." The airport lounges in Athens and Thessaloniki have now reopened with a new look and increased capacity. The Aegean Business Lounge in Larnaca has not yet been renovated, and we made a quick stop there before our flight to Athens.
Aegean Airlines is still one of my favourite airlines for travelling within Europe. The crew members are always friendly and welcoming and pride themselves on providing genuine Greek hospitality. To renew my frequent flyer status, I have to take four flights with the airline every year. I normally use my Business Class upgrade vouchers for these flights. However, as we were travelling to Cyprus as a family today, we took our seats in Aegean Airlines Economy Class and were curious to see if the service behind the curtain was just as good.
In May 2022, I visited the Bulgarian capital Sofia for a weekend trip. I chose the Hilton Sofia as my hotel and was curious to see what to expect as a status guest at this five-star hotel. In this review, I will focus specifically on the hotel's rooms and breakfast.
Whether it's long wait times or an early arrival at the airport, there are many reasons to pass the time at the airport. While Hamad International Airport in Doha already offers many options, the most comfortable option is certainly one of the airport lounges. On our way to the island paradise of the Maldives, we visited the Al Maha Lounge Doha. Find out in our lounge review whether a visit, or even the admission price, is worth it.
The Lufthansa Senator Lounge Newark is one of two Lufthansa lounges. Before my return flight to Copenhagen with SAS, I used the time at the airport to visit the lounge.
The Scandinavian airline SAS operates its own lounge at various airports in the USA. On our way back from a short trip to New York City, we visited the SAS Lounge Newark before the late afternoon rush. In this lounge review, I will share my experiences and impressions of the amenities and food and beverage offerings, and whether a visit is worthwhile.
The Lufthansa Senator Lounge Hamburg is one of two Lufthansa lounges at the airport in the Hanseatic city. Due to a trip to New York (via Copenhagen with SAS), I flew from Hamburg for the first time and accordingly paid a visit to the lounge. In this lounge review, I will share my experiences and impressions of the facilities, the food and drink on offer and reveal the absolute highlight of the lounge.
Even before the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Qatar Airways was a popular and well-known airline that is appreciated for its excellent service and comfort. We were therefore curious to see how the Qatar Airways Economy Class fared on our flight from Munich to Doha, with an onward flight to the Maldives. In the following review, you can find out what we thought of the seats, the amenities, the food and the flight as a whole.
With Airport Lounge World, Munich Airport offers a modern and exclusive premium-class lounge. We visited the 1,700-square-meter lounge area, located in the non-Schengen area of Terminal 1 (Concourse B) at Munich Airport, on our way to Doha.
Luxury hotels in Venice are plentiful, some located right in the winding alleys, others a bit further out. This is one of them, the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, which we chose as our base for our New Year's trip to Venice in 2021/22. Find out how our stay was and what benefits you can expect as a Hilton Diamond status guest in the following hotel review.
The new Aegean Business Lounge in Terminal A, the non-Schengen area of Athens Airport, recently opened in April 2022. On my way to Sofia, I took advantage of the transfer time to check out Aegean Airlines' new flagship lounge at Athens Airport.
The Hugo Junkers Lounge Düsseldorf is the only lounge in Terminal B of Düsseldorf Airport. Since my flight with Aegean Airlines to Athens was also scheduled to depart from this terminal, I decided to visit the Hugo Junkers Lounge. Find out if my decision was the right one in our lounge review.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Venice - North is located just 30 minutes from the lagoon city of Venice, making it a convenient base for sightseeing. Find out what you can expect as a hotel or Hilton status guest in the following hotel review.
