    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…

    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…

    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…

    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 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 Ăśffnet. ✨ 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,…
