    New Review – Swiss Business Class Amenity Kit (Senses Edition)

    11/03/2026 / No Comments

    With the introduction of Swiss’ new A350 and the Senses board concept, the entire onboard experience was revamped – including the Business Class Amenity Kit (First Class review [here]). At a Swiss event, I learned more about it, and now I have one of these new kits in my hands. Here’s what I think. 📦 Contents Base Kit: What looks like very little at first glance is expanded through an almost inconspicuous note for on-request items. Swiss emphasizes sustainability, which I can understand. Other airlines like Singapore have been practicing this for a very long time. But let’s…

    New Review – Global Lounge Kuala Lumpur (KUL)

    04/03/2026 / No Comments

    📍 Location & Access We entered with our valid Business Class boarding pass for the day. From my research, walk-in bookings are possible on-site, but the popular Priority Pass is NOT accepted. 🛋️ Amenities What immediately catches the eye is the long window front that not only brings a smile to every aviation geek’s face but also invites lingering. There are plenty of seating options (with power outlets) perfectly distributed throughout different areas – from single seats to small tables for comfortable group seating. Walking through the entire lounge, you’ll find a buffet with live cooking station. During…

    New Review – Plaza Premium Lounge Taipei (TPE)

    18/02/2026 / No Comments

    After visiting the Eva Airways and Singapore SilverKris Business Class lounges, I deliberately checked out the “people’s lounge” Plaza Premium (Priority Pass). For economy passengers, credit card holders, or spontaneous visitors: Is it worth it? Here’s the complete analysis. 📍 Location & Access Access Method Price (on-site) Priority Pass / LoungeKey ~$35-45 USD Credit Cards (Amex, etc.) Included Direct booking on-site Variable Details: Advantage: Extremely flexible – practically anyone can enter!

    New Review – Singapore Airlines Lounge Taipei (TPE)

    11/02/2026 / No Comments

    During my layover in Taipei, I had time to visit not only the Eva Air Lounge but also the Singapore Airlines Lounge and Priority Pass lounges. The Singapore Lounge is just a few minutes walk from Eva Airways and was easily accessible with my HON/Star Alliance Gold status and Eva boarding pass. 📍 Location & Access Access Business Class or Star Alliance Gold+ Location Terminal 2, 4th Floor Hours 08:20 AM–5:45 PM daily Perfectly reachable for Star Alliance passengers – no pre-boarding stress. 🛋️ Amenities & Layout The layout is functional but not particularly…

    New Review – Thai Airways Royal Silk / Business Class Amenity Kit (Greyhound)

    04/02/2026 / No Comments

    This Thai Airways amenity kit is provided in Royal Silk Business Class and comes in a nice blue pouch from Greyhound Original. It makes a pleasant (though not particularly luxurious) impression. Note: The zipper is intentionally placed at a diagonal angle. 📦 Complete Contents Packaging: Blue Greyhound Original pouch – stylish but not premium quality. ✨ Hands-On Impression The Good: Contains all flight essentials in a compact, attractive package. The blue color scheme matches Thai’s branding perfectly, and everything feels functional rather than cheap. What Works Well: Minor Critique: No extras like pen, eye drops, or premium branding. Solid but…

    New Review – Ethiopian Cloude9 Lounge Addis (during Corona)

    04/02/2026 / No Comments

    Ethiopian Airlines ist aktuell der einzige Star Alliance Carrier, welcher regelmässig Sansibar anfliegt. Im Rahmen meiner Reise nach SansibEthiopian Airlines is currently the only Star Alliance carrier regularly flying to Zanzibar. During my Zanzibar trip, a stopover in Addis Ababa was required. In non-pandemic times, I would have preferred a day layover with city sightseeing. ✈️ General Information Airline / Airport The international lounges in Addis Ababa are operated by Ethiopian Airlines in the new Terminal 2. While Terminal 2 is operational, construction is not fully complete. Passengers with international connections can pass security…

    New Review – The Westin Warsaw (WAW)

    04/02/2026 / No Comments

    Welcome to another hotel review! This time it’s the Westin Warsaw, which I’ve visited several times before. 📅 Booking I booked directly with Westin (yes, via cashback site) to get the regular rate plus Platinum member benefits. Important note: This depends on your travel habits. If you always use Hotels.com without Marriott status, you’ll often get the same price (including cashback and bonus nights), but status perks only come with direct hotel bookings. 📍 Location The location isn’t perfectly central but walkable with good shoes. Honestly, Uber/Bolt is the better choice. We took one…

    New Review – Swiss First Class Amenity Kit “Sense”

    21/01/2026 / No Comments

    Big thanks to Swiss for providing this new Zimmerli Amenity Kit! About the New Amenity Kit This is the women’s version in beige, designed as a practical iPad case. This once again emphasizes Swiss’ commitment to sustainability – a bag you can continue using long after your flight. For the contents, Swiss collaborates with renowned Swiss manufacturers like Rohner and VIU. Important note: Items like Rohner socks are handed out upon request during the flight by the cabin crew. The big advantage: finally high-quality socks instead of the old “disposable”…

    New Review – AC Hotel Valencia by Marriott

    12/11/2025 / No Comments

    For my stay in Valencia, I was looking for a hotel that is simple and without much fuss. That’s why I chose the AC Valencia by Marriott, which perfectly met these requirements. Booking There was a pleasant surprise here: I was able to book through a cashback site. However, this was considered a direct booking, so I also received the full points and benefits. Check-In The check-in was a bit slower than expected. It wasn’t really complicated, but the speed and attention given to my benefits as a Lifetime Platinum…
