Air Canada Business Class im Airbus A330 - Kabine

Air Canada Business Class im Airbus A330-300 nach Toronto

Thanks to an error fare, we flew from Munich to Toronto with Air Canada Business Class in an Airbus A330-300. Despite complications during boarding and an outdated Business Class seat, Air Canada was still able to impress in terms of service and the quality of the food. You can find out how satisfied we were overall in this trip report.
Lufthansa Airbus A320-200 (D-AIZE -

Lufthansa Business Class in the Airbus A320-200 to Munich

Lufthansa uses a solid, if not earth-shattering, product on short and medium-haul routes. In January we were able to extensively test the Lufthansa Business Class in the Airbus A320 on the way from Oslo to Munich. In the review you will find out how we experienced Business Class at Lufthansa in the new Europa cabin.

Mileage Run Aegean – Verteidigung des Miles&Bonus Gold Status über Segmente

Once you have a frequent flyer status, you want to defend it every year. I have had Star Alliance Gold status with Greek airline Aegean Airlines for almost five years. Since we hardly took any air travel due to the birth of our son in January this year, a mileage run was necessary to extend the status.
Austrian Airlines Fokker 100 OE-LVG Star Alliance

Austrian Airlines Economy Class in the Fokker 100 to Warsaw

In wenigen Jahren wird die Fokker 100 bei Austrian Airlines Geschichte sein. Sie wird nach und nach durch die Embraer 195 ersetzt. Umso mehr freue ich mich auf meinen Flug in der Austrian Airlines Economy Class in der Fokker 100 von Wien nach Warschau, um noch einmal diesen “Klassiker” zu erleben.

Hotel reviews

Hilton Vienna Park

Hilton Vienna Park

For our weekend trip to Vienna we were looking for a hotel in a central location. The selection was large, as the Hilton Group alone has four hotels in its portfolio. Since we had already stayed at the Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront a few years ago, this time we decided on the Hilton Vienna Park. You can find out in this hotel review whether that was a good choice and what our biggest room upgrade to date turned out to be.
Park Inn by Radisson Oslo Airport

Park Inn by Radisson Oslo Airport

It's no secret that Scandinavia often offers unbeatable flight deals. Thanks to an amazing pricing error, we were lucky enough to score business class tickets for our flight to Seattle. Since arriving to Oslo on time was essential, we decided to spend one night at the Park Inn by Radisson Oslo Airport (Gardermoen). In this hotel review we share our experiences with this first-class airport hotel.
Hilton Nürnberg

Hilton Nürnberg

We really wanted to make a stop on the way to the Swiss Alps. Since I had worked in Nuremberg for nine months during my studies, it was an opportunity to visit the city again. Surprisingly, I found the Hilton Nuremberg at a very reasonable price. You can find out what impression we had of the hotel in this report.
Hilton Garden Inn Davos

Hilton Garden Inn Davos

We are passionate snowboarders and have often explored the Alps in winter. But this time we wanted to experience the region in summer. The Alps offer an abundance of exclusive hotels in Austria and Switzerland, but chain hotels are rather rare. We chose the Hilton Garden Inn Davos, and in this hotel review we share our experiences and impressions with you.
The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore

The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore

The range of hotels in Singapore is huge. The closer you get to the famous Marina Bay, the more luxurious and expensive the rooms become. On my last visit to the Southeast Asian city-state, I stayed at the posh Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore. You can find out what awaits you in the 5-star hotel with 608 rooms, which looks inconspicuous from the outside, in the following hotel review.

Lufthansa Lounge Mailand-Malpensa

The Lufthansa Lounge Milan-Malpensa was extensively renovated some time ago. During a business trip to Milan, I was able to get an impression of whether the modernized lounge meets the expectations of the Italian fashion capital.

Blick auf das Vorfeld aus der Lufthansa Panorama Lounge Frankfurt

Lufthansa Panorama Lounge Frankfurt

For my flight to Kraków I had to go to Departure Gate A40 at the end of Terminal 1. Since I only had 35 minutes to change planes after my arrival from Leipzig and a detour to the Lufthansa Senator Lounge wasn't worth it, I tried the new Lufthansa Panorama Lounge in Frankfurt.
SAS Gold Lounge Kopenhagen

SAS Gold Lounge Kopenhagen

Before our departure with SAS to San Francisco we spent the waiting time in the SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen. The lounge was only renovated in autumn 2018 and so we were very excited about our visit. You can find out in the lounge review whether the SAS Gold Lounge Copenhagen still shines with its timeless Scandinavian design.
SAS Gold Lounge Stockholm

SAS Gold Lounge Stockholm

Before my early morning flight to San Francisco via Copenhagen, I visited the SAS Gold Lounge Stockholm. This is somewhat hidden on the fourth floor of Terminal 5. In the Lounge Review you can find out more about the facilities and the range of food and drinks.

Seebrücke Ahlbeck

Family vacation on the sunny island of Usedom

The sunny island of Usedom lives up to its name. We drove towards the Baltic Sea in the worst of the rain and as soon as we passed the bridge to the island, we had a bright blue sky and the sun was smiling at us. Perfect! That's how it should be.
Emirates A380

Airline review: Emirates Airbus A380

Im Rahmen der ILA 2016 präsentierte Airbus und Emirates die A380. Wir haben ein Blick in das größte Passagierflugzeug der Welt gewagt und uns ein Bild davon gemacht, wie komfortabel man in allen Klassen unterwegs sein kann. Im Juli 2008 übernahm Emirates ihre erste Airbus A380. Heute, am 02. Juni 2016 stehe ich vor dem 79. für […]

New York sightseeing part 3

Tomorrow evening we're going back home and there are still a few items on our to-do list. After a short breakfast we dive back into the big city adventure of New York City. However, we clearly notice that today is Sunday. The trains run more irregularly and there are only a few people on the road.
Empire State Building und Manhattan Bridge

New York sightseeing part 2

Die Wetter Aussichten für heute sind genial. Auch wenn es ein paar Grad kälter wird als die letzten Tage, soll den ganzen Tag die Sonne scheinen. Wir versuchen heute im Hotel zu frühstücken, allerdings ist die Auswahl eher bescheiden, so gibt es nur einen coffee to go und wir warten vor dem Hoteleingang auf Uber (Wie […]
