Transavia Economy Class in the Boeing 737-800 to Berlin
If you want to fly from Munich to Berlin within Germany, you have previously landed with Air Berlin or Lufthansa. Since May 30th is with the Dutch Transavia a third provider in the league. Unlike Lufthansa and Air Berlin, Transavia flies to Schönefeld Airport twice a day. So I dared to try and flew to Berlin in Transavia Economy Class on a Boeing 737-800.
British Airways long haul Business Class on the Airbus A321 to Oslo
During our online check-in for the return flight with British Airways to Oslo, I was briefly confused by the seating arrangement. Two seats, a single seat, and then two seats again. Doesn't that look like Business Class à la Swiss?! A “real” business class on a European flight? I think I'm lucky enough to be able to fly British Airways long haul business class on the Airbus A321.
American Airlines Business Class in der Boeing 777-300ER nach London
It's back to Oslo! In American Airlines Business Class in the Boeing 777-300ER we fly first to London Heathrow. The JFK Airport Train takes us from Jamaica Station to Terminal 8. American Airlines, Air Berlin and LATAM also fly from here.
Special flight: With the Lufthansa Siegerfluger to the ILA 2016
Es ist Samstagmorgen kurz vor sieben Uhr. Ich stehe im Terminal 1B am Schalter 494 des Frankfurter Flughafen und checke für einen ganz besonderen Flug ein. Es geht mit einer Boeing 747-8 auf die ILA – Berlin Air Show! Allein das ist schon Highlight genug. Doch Lufthansa legt noch einen obendrauf und lässt den “Siegerflieger”, […]
airberlin A320-200 Economy Class, Stockholm to Berlin
Der Check-in für meinen airberlin A320-200 Economy Class Flug nach Berlin war leider erst zwei Stunden vor Abflug möglich. So begab ich mich zusammen mit Robert nach unserer Ankunft aus Chicago ins Terminal 2. Die Wartezeit von 1:45h bis zum Beginn des Check-in überbrückte ich mit einer “Katzenwäsche”. Menzies Executive Lounge – oneworld Lounge Stockholm (Terminal […]

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.
Sheraton Berlin Grand Hotel Esplanade
Wir hatten Tickets für die Frequent Traveler University (FTU) gewonnen, die vom 10. bis 12. Juni 2016 in Berlin stattgefunden hat. Bei der FTU gab es im Rahmen von Vorträgen interessante Einblicke in verschiedene Kundenbindungsprogramme von Hotels & Fluggesellschaften. Veranstaltungsort war das Sheraton Berlin Grand Hotel Esplanade. Da lag es nahe, auch ein Zimmer für zwei Nächte in diesem Hotel zu buchen.
Hampton by Hilton Świnoujście
The Hotel Hampton by Hilton Świnoujście is located in the center of Świnoujście (Swinemünde), not far from the promenade and the Baltic Sea beach. When we were looking for a hotel for our vacation on Usedom, the decision was easy for us as Hilton HHonors status customers. Below we would like to give our opinion on the Hampton by Hilton Świnoujście.
Hilton Copenhagen Airport
The Hilton Copenhagen Airport Hotel is conveniently located right next to Copenhagen International Airport. We spent a long weekend in the 5-star hotel and would like to give you an impression in this short hotel review.

Before our departure to Dubai we visited the Lufthansa Senator Lounge B-Gates Frankfurt. Alongside the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, this is the only Star Alliance Gold Lounge in the non-Schengen area of Terminal 1B. You can find out more about the lounge at Frankfurt Airport in the review.
Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Frankfurt
I've read a lot of good things about the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Frankfurt on a wide variety of blogs. Some frequent flyers even consider it one of the best Star Alliance Gold Lounges at Frankfurt Airport. Before our flight to Dubai we had time to visit the lounge.
VIP room Pau Casals Lounge Barcelona
After a week of relaxing vacation in Catalonia, we flew back to Germany from Barcelona with Lufthansa. Before departure, we visited the Sala VIP Pau Casals Lounge Barcelona, which Priority Pass recognized as the world's best airport lounge in 2013. So my expectations were high! You can find out whether these were also fulfilled in the review.

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 […]
ITB 2016: Emirates new Business Class
Auf der letzten Sonntag zu Ende gegangen Tourismusmesse ITB stellte Emirates ihre neue Business Class vor. Ich war Vorort und habe sie mir genauer angeschaut. Ab November 2016 wird Emirates die neue Business Class in alle neuen Boeing 777-300ER verbauen. Die Kabinenkonfiguration bleibt leider mit 2-3-2 unverändert und damit unter dem Branchendurchschnitt. So hat nicht […]
What is the best fast food in the US?
Wir kochen sehr gern und ich denke auch wirklich gut. Dabei legen wir Wert auf ausgewählte Zutaten, vor allem beim Fleisch. Aber wenn wir in den USA sind, muss es einfach mal das “ungesunde” Fast Food sein! Wobei ungesund so eine Sache ist. Die Burger Ketten, die wir beispielsweise besuchen, sind echt was Besonderes und […]
Discover the Bavarian capital Munich with DriveNow
At the beginning of our southern Germany autumn road trip we visited the Bavarian capital Munich. Since Christian is often in the city for work, he already knew some beautiful corners and finally wanted to show them to me. So far I've only ever driven past or through Munich on my way to a skiing holiday. So it was high time!
3 days Lake Constance
Konstanz Die größte Stadt am Bodensee lud uns bei tollstem Sonnenschein ein, leider war das unser einziger Sonnentage im Süden Deutschlands. Unser erster Ausflugspunkt war die 9 m hohe Skulptur Imperia. Vom Bildhauer Peter Lenk entworfen und gebaut, wiegt die übergroße leicht bekleidete Dame 18 Tonnen und begrüßt die ankommenden Schiffe im Hafen. Im Sockel befindet […]
