Airline reviews
Aegean Business Class in the Airbus A321 to Athens
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.
SAS Plus in the Airbus A330-300 to Los Angeles
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.
SWISS Business Class in the Airbus A330-300 to Zurich
Again a summer holiday is over. As we were unable to agree on a destination this year, we let the availability of Miles & More award flights decide in our favour. So it became Dubai! For the return flight we chose the Swiss Business Class in the Airbus A330-300, and you can find out what our first flight in SWISS Business Class was like in the Review.
Aegean Airlines Business Class on the Airbus A320 to Thessaloniki
Zum Auftakt meines kurzen Segment Runs für Aegean Miles & Bonus Gold flog ich dieses Jahr in der Aegean Airlines Business Class in der Airbus A320-200 von Hannover nach Thessaloniki. Ich hatte ein günstiges Ticket in der Economy Class gebucht und mich dann mit einem Voucher in die Business Class upgraden lassen. Ob sich das Upgrade gelohnt hat, erfährst du im Trip Report.
Lufthansa Business Class Airbus A319 to Leipzig
Die Lufthansa Business Class Airbus A319 kann nicht wirklich als Luxus bezeichnet werden. In den meisten Fällen lohnt sich die Lufthansa Business Class auf Kurzstreckenflügen innerhalb Europas aufgrund des Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnisses nicht. Als Anschlussflug unseres Miles & More Prämientickets aus Dubai flogen wir die Kurzstrecke von Frankfurt nach Leipzig.

Hotel reviews
Hilton Nicosia
In May 2023, we spent five nights on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Looking for a base to explore the breathtaking beauty and rich culture of this fascinating island, our path led us straight to the stunning Hilton Nicosia in the island's vibrant capital. With a perfect blend of first-class service, contemporary ambience and luxurious amenities, this hotel proved to be our perfect choice.
Hilton Sofia
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.
Hilton Molino Stucky
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.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Venice - North
Das DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Venice – North liegt nur etwa 30 Minuten von der Lagunenstadt Venedig entfernt und eignet sich daher sehr gut als günstiger Ausgangspunkt für eine Besichtigungstour. Was man als Hotel- bzw. Hilton-Statusgast erwarten kann, erfahrt ihr in der folgenden Hotelbewertung.
Hilton Munich Park
The four-star Hilton Munich Park is just a few minutes' walk from the English Garden. We visited the hotel between Christmas and New Year's Eve during the coronavirus pandemic. Find out how the coronavirus restrictions affected our stay in the following hotel review.

Lounge reviews
Turkish Airlines Business Class Lounge Istanbul
A gigantic airport was being built at a rapid pace near Istanbul. On our way to Malaysia, we visited the Turkish Airlines Business Class Lounge in Istanbul and were impressed by its size and variety of offerings. Why? Find out more in our lounge review.
Lounge Tempelhof Berlin
The Tempelhof Lounge at BER Airport is the second large airport lounge at the new capital city airport. We were privileged to visit it before our early morning flight with Turkish Airlines. Find out what we liked about the lounge and where there might still be room for improvement in our lounge review.
Aegean Business Lounge Larnaca
Aegean Airlines investiert seit September 2021 massiv in ihre Flughafen-Lounges und stattet diese mit dem neuen Corporate Design „AEGEAN’s neo era“ aus. Die Flughafenlounges in Athen und Thessaloniki sind nun im neuen Erscheinungsbild und mit mehr Kapazität wiedereröffnet. Die Aegean Business Lounge Larnaka ist noch nicht renoviert und wir haben vor unserem Flug nach Athen einen kurzen Abstecher dorthin gemacht.
Al Maha Lounge Doha
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.
Lufthansa Senator Lounge Newark
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.
