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,…

New Review – Lufthansa First Class Amenity Kit (Porsche Design, Black for Men)

03/09/2025 / No Comments

Today we take a closer look at the Lufthansa First Class Amenity Kit, developed in collaboration with Porsche Design. The black version is intended for men, while a white counterpart is available for women. At first glance, the Porsche Design branding promises a stylish and premium product – but does the kit live up to these expectations? 🎒 Design & Appearance The pouch is elegant and understated. As is typical for Porsche Design, clean lines, simple black coloring, and subtle details dominate. It feels sturdy and well-made, making it easy to reuse after the flight – for…

✈️ Lufthansa Senator Lounge Frankfurt (Schengen Area) – Honest Review & Insider Tips [2025]

16/07/2025 / No Comments

The Lufthansa Senator Lounge in the Schengen area of Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is a familiar place for many frequent flyers. But it’s still worth taking a closer look—especially when you manage to visit during a quieter evening, as I recently did. This gave me the perfect opportunity to explore the lounge in peace and bring you this honest, first-hand review. 📍 Location & Access The Senator Lounge is located in Terminal 1, Area A, just after the Duty-Free area, heading toward Gates A50. Opening hours:🕔 Daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PMThat’s longer than the Lufthansa First…

Direct Turnaround in Tel Aviv: A Mileage Run Experience for HON Status

28/06/2025 / No Comments

Today, I have a slightly different kind of review with a special background. A friend of mine is looking to regain his HON status, so we were searching for a way to earn as many HON points as possible in a short period of time. After some research (and many Dubai-Addis trips with Eurowings on his part), we decided to book a flight from Tallinn to Tel Aviv. To optimize the process a bit, we chose the following route. This route ended up rewarding us with a total of 480 HON…

Mileage Run Madness in Poland: 6 Legs, 4 Cities, 12 Hours – and Plenty of Points!

23/05/2025 / No Comments

For frequent flyers chasing status—whether Star Alliance Gold or Miles & More Frequent Traveller—it’s not always about long-haul business class flights. Sometimes, a well-planned weekend mileage run with cheap domestic flights can yield crucial qualifying points. The Experiment I tested this with LOT Polish Airlines: 6 domestic flights in one day, each booked separately as one-ways to maximize points and enjoy lounge access between flights. Why Book One-Ways? The Route (All from/to Warsaw – WAW) All flights took place in May with a tight schedule from early morning to evening.…

New Review Premium Economy – British Airways (BA)

07/03/2025 / No Comments

How do you get from Dubai back to Europe, or more precisely Zurich, cheaply and yet not in Eco? Without several individual tickets within a reasonable time. The arrival time was due to work, so only a morning arrival was an option. Booking I booked the flight directly via the British Airways website, and the attractive price for a return ticket tempted me to take the return flight as well. I actually wanted to book the flight in Economy, but the small difference led me to book Premium Economy directly.…

And once again it’s off to Dubai, one is inclined to say, this time the price was the deciding factor and to try out the Economy of Turkish Airlines Booking I booked the flight directly via the Turkish Airlines website, the goal was a long layover in Dubai, but still a little lounging in Istanbul, you can find the review of the Turkish Airlines Lounge here. Check-In The check-in in Zurich went smoothly, as we were traveling as a couple, we wanted to sit next to each other. This was…

New Review Business Class – Ethiopian Airlines (ET)

07/03/2025 / No Comments

And once again we’re heading for Dubai, one is inclined to say, not directly, but from Dubai to Zurich. Why with Ethiopian Airlines? I would like to briefly describe this in this review. Booking I booked the flight via the Miles and More website, Dubai is in the same mileage zone as North Africa, so you can fly one-way to Europe in Business Class for 35,000 miles. Egypt Air mostly uses narrowbodies on this route (DXB-CAI) and then it would be three hours in a Swiss or Lufthansa A321, which…

New Review – Singapore Airlines (SQ) Business Class Amenity Kit

07/03/2025 / No Comments

For a very long time, the amenity kit on Singapore Airlines was reserved for First Class passengers only (review here) and was very luxuriously equipped. For some time now, however, Singapore Airlines has also had amenity kits in Business Class. I received this one on the flight from Frankfurt to JFK and it comes from the English brand Penhaligon’s (just like the contents). Contents Sleeping mask Lip Balm Facial Mist Hand Lotion Bag for liquids However, it is also important to mention that there are many other things in the…

New Review Amenity Kit – British Airways Premium Eco

07/03/2025 / No Comments

As promised in the review of the British Airways Premium Economy (World Traveler Plus), here is a detailed explanation of the amenity kit. The amenity kit comes in a small bag, which can be used as a pocket depending on the cell phone. The amenity kit comes in the BA corporate colors and has a comfortable fabric surface. Contents In my opinion, the contents are on a par with the Lufthansa Group Business Class. The amenity kit contains the following items: Lip balm Sleeping mask socks Earplugs Toothbrush / toothpaste…
