    🏨 Hotel Review – DoubleTree by Hilton, Nice (France)

    As someone who spends a lot of time in hotels, I know how important it is for a stay to be both relaxing and hassle-free. The DoubleTree by Hilton in Nice delivered exactly that. From the warm, genuine welcome at check-in to the signature chocolate chip cookie handed out upon arrival – a comforting gesture that felt especially appreciated after a late-evening arrival – everything was off to a good start. 📍 Location & Surroundings The hotel enjoys a prime location right next to Nice’s main train station (Gare de Nice-Ville). The beach is only a 10-minute…

    ✈️ Lounge Review – British Airways Galleries Lounge, Philadelphia (PHL)

    If you like to take a moment to unwind before a long-haul flight, spending some time in an airport lounge is often the perfect way to ease into your journey. The British Airways Galleries Lounge in Philadelphia delivers a solid but far from spectacular experience — a functional stop that gets the job done, but lacks the kind of polish and atmosphere you might expect from a flagship international airline. 📍 Location & Atmosphere The lounge is conveniently located just a short walk from the departure gates, which is handy if you…

    New Review – Lounge Ben Gurion (TLV)

    Location and Access The lounge options at Tel Aviv Airport (Ben Gurion) are relatively limited, so we ended up in the one available lounge. Access was granted with our Lufthansa Business Class ticket, but you can also enter with a PriorityPass or similar access cards. However, it’s important to note that access is only allowed up to two hours before your flight departs. Amenities Well, let me keep this short, though I’ll try not to sound too negative. The lounge space is divided into different seating areas. On both sides, there’s a coffee machine, and on…

    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…
