    New Review – Sala VIP Lounge – Valencia Airport (VLC)

    05/11/2025 / No Comments

    Thanks to a fantastic invitation from Mr. MuellAir, I had the chance to visit Valencia for an event. On my return journey, I ended up with a bit more time at the airport than expected – the perfect opportunity to check out the Sala VIP Lounge in Terminal 1.Here’s how it went, and whether it’s worth a visit. 📍 Location & Access The lounge is located in Terminal 1, on the way to Gates 13–22. You can’t miss it – it’s on the right-hand side and clearly signposted. I accessed the lounge with my HON Circle status, but there are…

    New Lounge Review – United Club Hongkong(HKG)

    01/11/2025 / No Comments

    The United Club Lounge is located in Terminal 1 of Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), near Gate 60. 📍 Location & Access Access is granted to Business and First Class passengers on United Airlines or any Star Alliance partner airline. Since it’s not classified as a Polaris Lounge, Star Alliance Gold members departing on a same-day Star Alliance flight are also welcome. After a long closure due to the pandemic, the lounge reopened on October 8, 2025. Its location is well thought out — easy to reach after security, clearly signposted, and convenient for those with some time before departure.However, if you have a tight connection, allow about 10–15…

    New Review – Radisson Blue Lissabon (LIS)

    22/10/2025 / No Comments

    For a short stay in Lisbon, I chose the Radisson Blu Lisbon, mainly because of its convenient location close to the airport. I was also curious to see how my Radisson VIP status would be recognized here. Whether the stay was worth it – you’ll find out in this review! 📍 Booking & Location As always, I booked directly through the Radisson app, using the option “fewer points, more discount.” That paid off – the rate was unbeatable compared to other booking sites. Just before my arrival, prices went up significantly, so I was glad I had…

    New Review – Airport Lounge Stuttgart (STR)

    24/09/2025 / No Comments

    📍 Location The lounge is located right after security in Terminal 3, upstairs in the gallery area. With only 150 m² and space for 42 guests, it’s on the smaller side. That makes it feel cozy, but it can also get crowded quickly. 🛎️ Access Entry is currently quite restrictive: 👉 According to the airport, changes are planned for the future. As of now, these rules apply. 🍽️ Amenities Die Lounge besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem großen Raum, der sich zur Fensterfront hin öffnet. ✨ Highlights: 🥂 Drinks Some guests seemed to interpret the small bottled drinks as “takeaway options”…

    New Review – Edelweiss Business Class Amenity Kit

    17/09/2025 / No Comments

    Sometimes I really wonder who comes up with the design of amenity kits. Over time I’ve built up quite a collection myself, though not all of them have made it onto the blog yet. But when I first saw the Edelweiss long-haul amenity kit, my immediate thought was: “Either do it properly – or not at all.” See for yourself: Contents of the Kit My Impression This kit is reduced to the absolute basics – and unfortunately, it shows. While other airlines even in Economy or Premium Economy often provide a bit more,…

    For a quick overnight stay in Dubai, I decided to try something new and booked the DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai Al Jadaf.

And spoiler alert – it turned out to be the right choice! 📍 Location & Accessibility: Central and Easy to Reach The location was perfect for my needs: it was just a 15-minute drive from the airport, which is great for Dubai. The price was also very…

    New Review – Intercity Berlin Airport Hotel (BER)

    30/07/2025 / No Comments

    Berlin Airport has a few airport hotels, but only two are truly within walking distance: the Steigenberger Airport Hotel(👉 Review here) and the IntercityHotel Berlin Airport. That’s exactly why I decided to spend one night at the IntercityHotel – to see how it compares. 📍 Location As mentioned, the location is top-notch. The IntercityHotel is just a few minutes’ walk from the terminal, right next to the Steigenberger. This is no coincidence, as both hotels belong to the same hotel group. For those who prioritize short walking distances, that’s already a big win. ✅ 🛎️ Check-in I wasn’t…

    24/07/2025 / No Comments

    After two stylish nights at The Art Hotel Denver, it was time for a change of scenery. I had two main reasons for switching hotels: First, I wanted to stay closer to Ball Arena (formerly Pepsi Center) to catch a hockey game; second, I wanted to explore a new property and earn some Marriott Bonvoy points. As always, I booked directly via the Marriott website to make the most of my Elite status benefits. 🛎️ Check-In – Friendly, Despite Ongoing Renovations at that time When I arrived, it was clear that renovations were in full swing. Parts of the…
