Last August, Robert from robisintheair.de asked me if I would like to fly with him in SAS Go in the Airbus A340-300 to San Francisco. At a price of just under EUR 200, I didn't have to think long and said yes. You can find out which service is offered on the 11-hour flight in SAS Economy Class in the following trip report.
Only a few more days until 2018 is over. This gives us the time to look back at which airline reviews interested you the most this year on miles-around.de. We took the number of page views as the basis for the following ranking of the most popular airline reviews in 2018.
Some may think I'm crazy to spend an afternoon during vacation in Greece with four flights. Sure, for the majority there is no point in flying to the island of Chios for just 25 minutes. However, I need this Mileage Run with Aegean Airlines to extend my Star Alliance Gold frequent flyer status for another year.
For this year's annual vacation we decided to take a look at the American Midwest. In line with our travel plans, LOT Polish Airlines published a Premium Economy offer to Chicago. You can find out to what extent the LOT Premium Economy in the Boeing 787-9 is an insider tip on long-haul routes in the review.
Germany in November: rain, fog and low temperatures. In order to escape these weather conditions, we started looking for a sunny destination quite early in February. The decision quickly fell on the United Arab Emirates. On November 3, 2017, we flew to Dubai in Lufthansa Economy Class on a Boeing 747-400.
Thanks to an error fare, we flew from Toronto to London in January 2017 with Air Canada Business Class on a Boeing 777-300ER. In contrast to the business class in the Airbus A330, the cabin in the Boeing 777-300ER is much more comfortable and corresponds to the current standard. You can find out in our trip report whether the new Executive Pod seats were also convincing.
Unlike Lufthansa, for example, Air Canada operates a proper business class on short- and medium-haul routes. At the beginning of 2017, we flew from Seattle to Toronto and had plenty of time to relax in Air Canada Business Class in the Embraer ERJ-190.
Thanks to an error fare, we flew from Munich to Toronto with Air Canada Business Class in an Airbus A330-300. Despite complications during boarding and an outdated Business Class seat, Air Canada was still able to impress in terms of service and the quality of the food. You can find out how satisfied we were overall in this trip report.
Lufthansa uses a solid, if not earth-shattering, product on short and medium-haul routes. In January we were able to extensively test the Lufthansa Business Class in the Airbus A320 on the way from Oslo to Munich. In the review you will find out how we experienced Business Class at Lufthansa in the new Europa cabin.
In July 2016, I was very lucky to be part of the first flight of Singapore Airlines' Airbus A350-900 from Düsseldorf. I have already written you a detailed article about this. In this review I would like to tell you what the return flight was like in the Singapore Airlines Business Class Airbus A350-900 from Singapore to Düsseldorf. There is also a brief insight into the first and business class SilverKris Lounge at Singapore Airport.
Once you have a frequent flyer status, you want to defend it every year. I have had Star Alliance Gold status with Greek airline Aegean Airlines for almost five years. Since we hardly took any air travel due to the birth of our son in January this year, a mileage run was necessary to extend the status.
In a few years, the Fokker 100 will be history at Austrian Airlines. It is gradually being replaced by the Embraer 195. All the more I am looking forward to my flight in Austrian Airlines Economy Class in the Fokker 100 from Vienna to Warsaw to experience this once again
On July 22, 2016 at 6:10 a.m., the Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900 landed in the North Rhine-Westphalia state capital for the first time and was traditionally greeted with a water fountain. From now on, the renowned five-star airline will connect Düsseldorf Airport non-stop three times a week with its hub in Singapore. I was very lucky to be on the inaugural Singapore Airlines Business Class flight on the Airbus A350-900 from Düsseldorf.
Aesthetically, I think the McDonell Douglas MD-82 is a beautiful aircraft. Unfortunately, it is no longer up to date and will probably disappear from the scene soon. American Airlines alone is reducing its fleet by one aircraft per week and replacing it with either Boeing or Airbus.
