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.
About a year ago, the new SWISS Senator Lounge Zurich opened in Terminal A. On our way back from our summer vacation in Dubai, we finally had the chance to visit the lounge in June 2019. Find out whether the 18-month construction period was worth it in our lounge review!

The Lufthansa Group has been flying from the newly built Terminal 1D in Dubai since 2016. As part of the move, Lufthansa has opened a new Senator and Business Lounge.

The Lufthansa Business Class Airbus A319 cannot really be described as luxury. In most cases, Lufthansa Business Class is not worthwhile on short-haul flights within Europe due to the price-performance ratio. As the connecting flight of our Miles & More award ticket from Dubai, we flew the short-haul route from Frankfurt to Leipzig.
The name, a statement. The brand, pure luxury. The Waldorf Astoria Ras al Khaimah. In June, we spent five nights at this five-star hotel on the Arabian Gulf. In the summer months, when it's really hot in the United Arab Emirates, the value for money is simply unbeatable. So why travel to overcrowded and poorly managed hotels in the Mediterranean when I can be treated like a king here for the same price? Find out if the luxury is worth it in our hotel review.
We spent a long time looking for a destination for our annual holiday. Bali and Washington D.C. were on the list.

For my flight to Krakow, I had to go to departure gate A40 at the end of Terminal 1. As I only had 35 minutes to change planes after my arrival from Leipzig and a detour to the Lufthansa Senator Lounge was not worthwhile, I tried out the new Lufthansa Panorama Lounge Frankfurt.
