    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 – 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…

    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.

    New Review – Edelweiss Business Class Amenity Kit

    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)

    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]

    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

    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!

    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)

    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.…
