Airline reviews
SWISS Premium Economy in the Boeing 777-300ER to Zurich
In October 2023, we had the opportunity to experience SWISS Premium Economy on a long-haul flight from Bangkok to Zurich in a Boeing 777-300ER. Premium Economy promises more comfort and service than regular Economy Class and is aimed at travellers who value a more pleasant travel experience on long-haul flights. In this Trip Report, we provide a detailed insight into the cabin, seating comfort, catering and the in-flight entertainment system. In doing so, we examine the question of whether SWISS Premium Economy lives up to its premium claim.
airBaltic Economy Class Airbus A220-300 to Tallinn
Our summer holiday was just around the corner and we were still looking for a suitable destination. As we had already been to Greece over Whitsun, we decided against the Mediterranean. We flirted with the Baltic States for a long time and finally decided in favour of Estonia. After careful consideration, we decided to travel to Tallinn with the budget airline airBaltic. In our travel report you can find out everything about the cabin, the seating comfort and the equipment of the airBaltic Economy Class Airbus A220-300. This report is ideal for anyone planning a trip with airBaltic and looking for detailed information.
Singapore Airlines Regional Business Class on the Airbus A350-900 to Bangkok
After a fantastic stay in the SilverKris Business Class Lounge in Terminal 3, we were looking forward to our flight in Singapore Airlines Regional Business Class in the Airbus A350-900. Find out in the following trip report what amenities the cabin offers and what service you can expect on short-haul flights within Asia.
Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 737-800 NG to Singapore
The route from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore was the busiest international flight route in the world in 2018 with 30,187 flights per year, according to an analysis by travel information service OAG Aviation Worldwide. The coronavirus pandemic has certainly reduced this figure significantly. Nevertheless, there are still numerous daily connections between the two Southeast Asian metropolises. We opted for a morning flight with Singapore Airlines. I was very excited to see what the Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 737-800 NG had to offer in regional traffic.
Turkish Airlines Business Class Boeing 787-9 to Kuala Lumpur
The introduction of the new Turkish Airlines Business Class Boeing 787-9 was heavily advertised by the airline and caused a lot of hype even before its launch. When I booked this flight to Kuala Lumpur, my anticipation was also immeasurable. You can find out whether my expectations were fulfilled in the following detailed trip report.

Hotel reviews
Hilton Dresden
The Hilton Dresden is an established city hotel in the heart of the historic old town, just a few steps away from the Frauenkirche, the Semper Opera House and the banks of the Elbe. In our experience review, we share our impressions of our stay in a King Junior Suite Duplex, the breakfast offer, the Executive Lounge and the spa and fitness area. Whether city travellers, business travellers or Hilton Honors members - the hotel has a lot to offer, but also has some small weaknesses.
Hilton Cairo Heliopolis
The Hilton Cairo Heliopolis offered us a successful combination of comfort, hospitality and excellent transport links during our stay in Egypt's vibrant capital. With its spacious rooms, an executive lounge and numerous relaxation options, the hotel is an excellent choice for business and leisure travellers. But what does it look like in detail? Our experience reveals it.
Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort
The Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort is a popular choice for travellers who want to experience the beauty of the Red Sea in Egypt.

Lounge reviews
Aegean Business Lounge Athens (Schengen)
For frequent flyers, a good lounge is more than just a comfortable chair and a quick coffee: it serves as a retreat, a workplace and sometimes even a restaurant. This is exactly what the Aegean Airlines Business Lounge in the Schengen area of Athens Airport, the airline's hub, promises. But does it live up to the high expectations of status passengers and frequent travellers? In this review, you will find out how the comfort, facilities and service perform in practice and where there is still room for improvement.
New Aegean Business Lounge Larnaca
Aegean Airlines has completely redesigned its Business Lounge – and the results are impressive. With its spacious seating areas, modern design, and significantly improved dining options, the new lounge stands out noticeably from the previous standard. In this review, we'll show you what to expect in the new Aegean Business Lounge Larnaca.
BER Lounge Tegel
The BER Lounge Tegel at Berlin Brandenburg Airport offers travellers a relaxing break before their departure. Whether you are a status customer or have a Priority Pass - those who have access benefit from a solid range of food, comfortable seating areas and good Wi-Fi. Here we show you where the lounge is located, who has access and what you can expect in terms of facilities, food and drink.
Tallinn Airport LHV Lounge
After an eventful holiday in beautiful Estonia, it was unfortunately already time for the return flight. Tallinn Airport may be very small, but the Tallinn Airport LHV Lounge is still a frequent flyer lounge.
Oman Air First & Business Class Lounge Bangkok
The lounge density at Bangkok Airport is astonishingly high. Before we took off for Zurich with SWISS, we visited the Oman Air First & Business Class Lounge Bangkok. I had already read a lot about the lounge and was curious to see whether champagne would actually be served in the Priority Pass Lounge.

Explore Egypt individually – Our experience at the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara & Co.
The Egyptian pyramids are among the most fascinating monuments in human history.

This allowed us to experience the magic of these historic sites away from the crowds. But how practical is such an exploration really? What challenges and highlights awaited us? We share our experiences, tips, and valuable information in this article.
