SAS Plus on the Airbus A330-300 to Los Angeles
Every year I try to escape the hustle and bustle of mulled wine at 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 my Star Alliance Gold status was almost extended thanks to the good yield of frequent flyer miles. So on St. Nicholas Day 2019 I flew to Los Angeles in SAS Plus in the Airbus A330-300. In the following trip report you will find out what service and equipment you can expect in SAS Premium Economy on long-haul routes.
SWISS Business Class in the Airbus A330-300 to Zurich
Wieder ist ein Sommerurlaub vorbei. Da wir uns dieses Jahr nicht auf ein Ziel einigen konnten, ließen wir die Verfügbarkeit der Miles & More Prämienflüge für uns entscheiden. So wurde es Dubai! Für den Rückflug wählten wir die Swiss Business Class im Airbus A330-300. Wie unser erster Flug in der Business Class von SWISS war, erfährst du im Review.
Aegean Airlines Business Class in der Airbus A320 nach 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.
Lufthansa Premium Economy in the Airbus A330-300 to Dubai
Lange haben wir nach einem Ziel für unseren Jahresurlaub gesucht. Bali und Washington D.C. standen auf der Liste. Aufgrund der besseren Verfügbarkeit von Miles & More Prämienflügen haben wir uns schließlich für die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate entschieden. Wie unser Flug in der Lufthansa Premium Economy in der Airbus A330 nach Dubai war, erfahrt ihr in unserem Flight Review.

Hotel reviews
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 excited to see what awaited me as a status guest at this five-star hotel. In this review, I will focus in particular on the hotel's rooms and breakfast.
Hilton Molino Stucky
Luxury hotels in Venice are a dime a dozen, some are located directly in the winding alleyways, some a little further out. The Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, which we chose as our domicile for our trip to Venice at the turn of the year 2021/22, is no exception. Find out what our stay was like 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 hotel 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 Corona pandemic. You can find out to what extent the Corona rules have affected our stay in the following hotel review.

Lounge reviews
Aegean Business Lounge Larnaka
Aegean Airlines has been investing heavily in its airport lounges since September 2021 and is equipping 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 more capacity. The Aegean Business Lounge Larnaca has not yet been renovated and we made a short detour there before our flight to Athens.
Al Maha Lounge Doha
Whether it's long waiting times or an early arrival at the airport - there are many reasons to pass the time at the airport. Even though Hamad International Airport in Doha already has many options for this, 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 the entrance fee is worthwhile.
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.
SAS Lounge Newark
The Scandinavian airline SAS operates its own lounges 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 of visitors. In this lounge review, I'll share my experiences and impressions of the amenities and food and beverage offerings, and whether it's worth a visit.
Lufthansa Senator Lounge Hamburg
The Lufthansa Senator Lounge Hamburg is one of two Lufthansa lounges at the airport of the Hanseatic city. Due to a trip to New York (via Copenhagen with SAS) I flew from Hamburg for the first time and accordingly also visited the lounge. In this lounge review, I will share my experiences and impressions of the facilities, the range of food and drinks and reveal what absolute highlight the lounge has to offer.
