Once you have frequent flyer status, you want to defend it every year. I have had Star Alliance Gold status with the Greek airline Aegean Airlines for almost five years now. As we hardly travelled by plane this year due to the birth of our son in January, we had to do a mileage run to extend our status.
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.
Bei unserem online Check-in für den Rückflug mit British Airways nach Oslo war ich kurz von der Sitzanordnung verwirrt. Zwei Sitze, ein einzelner Sitz und dann wieder zwei Sitze. Das sieht doch nach einer Business Class á la Swiss aus?! Eine "richtige" Business Class auf einem Europaflug? Ich habe wohl das Glück, die British Airways long haul Business Class in der Airbus A321 fliegen zu dürfen.
It's back to Oslo again! In American Airlines Business Class in the Boeing 777-300ER, we first fly to London Heathrow. From Jamaica Station, the JFK Airport Train takes us to Terminal 8, where American Airlines, Air Berlin and LATAM also depart.
