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.

Germany in November: rain, fog and low temperatures. To escape these weather conditions, we started looking for a sunny destination quite early in February. The decision was quickly made in favour of the United Arab Emirates. On 3 November 2017, we flew to Dubai on a Boeing 747-400 in Lufthansa Economy Class.

Find out in our trip report whether the new Executive Pod seats were also convincing.

Boeing's largest and most important production facility is located around 50 kilometres north of Seattle. Right next to Paine Field Airport (Snohomish Country Airport), the Boeing 747, 767, 777 and 787 wide-body aircraft are manufactured in the second largest building in the world. As with every visit to Seattle, we went planespotting at the Boeing plant.

Transavia Economy Class on the Boeing 737-800 to Berlin

If you want to fly within Germany from Munich to Berlin, you used to fly with Air Berlin or Lufthansa. Since 30 May, the Dutch airline Transavia has joined the group. Unlike Lufthansa and Air Berlin, Transavia flies to Schoenefeld Airport twice a day. So I took the plunge and flew with Transavia Economy Class in the Boeing 737-800 to Berlin.

Planespotting at Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt Airport is the largest airport in Germany in terms of annual passenger numbers. Frankfurt currently has four runways. From the spotter's point of view, planespotting Frankfurt is particularly interesting due to the extensive cargo traffic and the many international passenger airlines and the two parallel runways (07L/25R and 07R/25L).
