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.

Aegean Airlines Economy Class in the Airbus A320 to Athen

Aegean Airlines is still one of my favourite airlines for travelling within Europe. The crew members are always friendly and welcoming and pride themselves on providing genuine Greek hospitality. To renew my frequent flyer status, I have to take four flights with the airline every year. I normally use my Business Class upgrade vouchers for these flights. However, as we were travelling to Cyprus as a family today, we took our seats in Aegean Airlines Economy Class and were curious to see if the service behind the curtain was just as good.

Crete: The best travel tips for the north of the island

At the end of October, we were drawn out into the world again. Our first flight since the start of the coronavirus pandemic was via Athens to Crete. The largest Greek island impressed us during our holiday preparations with its rich history, culture and beautiful nature. The weather is characterised by a consistent Mediterranean climate, meaning summers are hot and dry and winters are rainy and mild. Find out what you can experience on the sunniest island in the Mediterranean in this article.

Aegean Business Class in the Airbus A321 to Athens

After a long flight hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, we flew with Aegean Business Class on an Airbus A321-200 via Athens to Crete in the fall of 2021. I was curious to see how Aegean Airlines would operate its business class service during the coronavirus pandemic.

I booked a cheap Economy Class ticket and then upgraded to Business Class with a voucher. Find out if the upgrade was worth it in the Trip Report.

TUI BLUE Lagoon Princess

After a stressful summer at work, we were eager to unwind and head off to the sun in September. But not so far this time. So we decided on Greece, specifically Thessaloniki. We chose the 5-star all-inclusive TUI BLUE Lagoon Princess. It was our first time on a vacation with nothing but beach, pool, food, and drinks. Find out how we liked it and whether we'd do it again in our hotel review.

Aegean Airlines Mileage Run 2018: Four segments towards Star Alliance Gold

Some might shake their heads at the idea of spending an afternoon on a Greek holiday taking four flights. For many, flying to the island of Chios for just 25 minutes makes no sense. For me, however, this mileage run with Aegean Airlines was precisely the missing piece of the puzzle to extend my Star Alliance Gold status for another year through the Miles+Bonus program.

Aegean Business Lounge Thessaloniki (2016)

The Aegean Business Lounge Thessaloniki is located at the end of the departure gates at Thessaloniki Airport, after passing through security. One of the biggest advantages is direct boarding from the lounge for any flight within the Schengen area. I think the design is extremely successful. The interior designer was inspired by a film set when selecting the furniture.

First flight: Singapore Airlines Business Class Airbus A350-900 to Singapore

At 06:10 on 22 July 2016, the Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900 landed in the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital for the first time and was traditionally greeted with a water fountain. From now on, the renowned five-star airline will be connecting Düsseldorf Airport with its hub in Singapore three times a week non-stop. I was lucky enough to be on the inaugural Singapore Airlines Business Class flight in the Airbus A350-900 from Düsseldorf.
