    New Review – Hampton by Hilton Breslau Airport (WRO)

    A new airport hotel that truly deserves the name “airport hotel” is located right next to Wroclaw Airport (WRO).Who doesn’t know them – these sometimes misleading “airport hotel” names where you still need a shuttle or taxi first? Not this newly opened Hampton by Hilton Wroclaw Airport. How I liked it, read in this review! 📍 Location Anyone arriving at the airport should walk left, past the information desk, cross the street once, and head toward the parking lot. From there you can already see the Hampton logo and it’s just a few minutes to the…

    New Review – ANA Business Class Amenity Kit (Ettinger Edition)

    Let’s go with a new ANA (All Nippon Airways) Amenity Kit from Business Class! How I like it and exactly what’s inside – find out in this review. 📦 Packaging & Design The kit comes in a beautiful light blue pouch – made in collaboration with Ettinger London. First Impression: 📦 Contents 🤔 My Hands-On Impression Strengths: What’s Missing: 🎯 Verdict In my opinion, ANA has succeeded in offering a solid Business Class amenity kit. Unfortunately, small details like deodorant or a pen are missing. Some other airlines do it a bit better. ⭐ Star Rating Category Rating…

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

    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)

    📍 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)

    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! Well or as a disadvantage it can be really full here during peak hours. 🛋️ Facilities & Amenities Often busy (Priority Pass…

    New Review – Singapore Airlines Lounge Taipei (TPE)

    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)

    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)

    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)

    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…
