After a long flight hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, we flew with Aegean Business Class on an Airbus A321-200 via Athens to Crete in the fall of 2021. I was curious to see how Aegean Airlines would operate its business class service during the coronavirus pandemic.
For our first vacation since the beginning of the pandemic, we decided to travel by car. We felt the situation was simply too uncertain for air travel. The decision quickly fell on southern Poland, partly due to the low incidence rates.

My last trip before the corona pandemic broke out took me to Los Angeles in December 2019. Before I returned to Stockholm with SAS, I had some time to spend in the Star Alliance Business Lounge in Los Angeles. I was really looking forward to it because this airport lounge is considered one of the best Star Alliance Gold Lounges in the USA.
The Lufthansa Business Lounge Frankfurt A26 is one of three business class lounges in Terminal 1A at Frankfurt Airport. Since my flight to Malta was scheduled to depart from Gate A26, I paid a quick visit to the lounge.
Every year I try to escape the hustle and bustle of mulled wine on the German Christmas markets, but also the gloomy December weather. This time there was a cheap offer with SAS Plus to Los Angeles. On the one hand, I was able to soak up some sun, on the other hand, thanks to the good yield of frequent flyer miles, my Star Alliance Gold status was almost extended. So I flew on St. Nicholas Day 2019 in SAS Plus in the Airbus A330-300 to Los Angeles. In the following trip report you will find out what service and what equipment you can expect in the premium economy from SAS over long distances.

We chose the northern Italian city of Turin as the destination for a weekend together. With the DoubleTree by Hilton Turin Lingotto we decided on a hotel quite quickly. This is only a 10 minute drive from the city center and was therefore perfect for our city trip. We were also interested in the hotel because it was designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano in the former Fiat factory.
