    New Review -Karl-Jatho Lounge Hannover (HAJ)

    Location and access In Terminal A, simply turn left after the security check. If you then see the yellow Lufthansa Lounge sign, you are already very close. Just go straight ahead and you will already be in the lounge. You have access with a Business Class ticket from AirFrance/KLM as well as Priority Pass or LoungeBuddy. I was told that access can also be purchased on site. The opening hours are (at the moment) Monday to Saturday: 05:00 am – 7:00 pm Sunday: 08:00 am – 7:00 pm Amenities The…

    New Review – Hestia Hotel Kentmanni (TLL)

    Booking and location I was invited for this review, but of course this has no effect on my opinion of this hotel. The Bolt driver didn’t find the hotel straight away and so I had to walk a little to the hotel. From here it is about a 15 minute walk to the old town. Check In The check-in was very quick and after a few moments I already had the room cards in my hand. There is a cozy sitting area opposite the reception. The hotel has two lifts,…

    New Review – Hampton by Hilton Riga Airport (RIX)

    Location and booking The Hampton by Hilton Riga Airport is very close to Riga Airport. The ride on the Bolt took just three minutes – but it cost almost as much as a ride into the city. I booked it directly with Hilton, and the rate of EUR 42 was really extremely cheap. I also added the points / nights / stay to my account and it worked out well. Check In Strange. Simply strange. I was helped quickly but the way I was treated raises some questions. Sure you…

    New Review – AC Hotel by Marriott, Riga (RIX)

    Location and booking I booked this AC hotel by using a cashback site (not Shoop this time, but I can also recommend it and have described it here) which gave me another 4% discount. It is quite central and everything can be reached quickly from here. A trip from the airport costs around 9 euros, depending on the time, and a cab should be around 15 euros. Check In Unfortunately, the familiar upgrade game was played here. All the better categories were cheerfully sold, but even as a Titanium member,…

    New Review – Sky Lounge Wien Flughafen (VIE)

    Location and access There are several lounges to choose from in the Schengen area of Terminal 3 at Vienna Airport. Right next to the Star Alliance Lounge is the Sky Lounge. You can gain access with the PriorityPass, among other things. If you do not yet have one, you can apply for it here. There is a separate guide to the benefits of the Priority Pass which will be published soon. The lounge is currently open daily from 04:30 am to 11:00pm. Amenities The lounge is actually just a large…

    New Review -Lufthansa First Class Wining and Dining New York (JFK)

    Introduction For First Class travelers and HON members of the Lufthansa Group, you are not only greeted in Terminal 1 in a very friendly manner and checked in. The service continues with a member of staff accompanying you to the lounge. This even includes getting a fast track through security via another lounge (VIP ONE Lounge). This really saves a lot of time and what is perhaps even more interesting – everyone who has access to the VIP ONE Lounge (for example with a PriorityPass) can use this free service.…

    New Review – Platinum Lounge Schengen Budapest (BUD)

    Location and access The Platinum Lounge is located in Terminal 2A and is currently open daily from 05:00am – 8:00pm. If you are unsure about the signs, just turn right out of Duty Free and you will see the lounge near Gate A8. Access to the lounge is either by invitation from the relevant airline (Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, Brussels, Aegean or AirBaltic) or with the PriorityPass, DinersClub, LoungeBuddy etc.. Otherwise, you can also purchase two-hour access here on site for EUR 34. Amenities The lounge is structured a bit like…

    New Review – Plaza Premium Lounge Schengen Budapest (BUD)

    Location and access Once you have made your way through the Duty Free, keep to the right and take the escalator up one floor. From there, the lounge is well signposted. You can gain access via the Amex premium credit card, but also via PriorityPass and Finnair, Iberia LOT flights in Business Class. The opening hours are currently from 07:00 am to 8:00 pm. Amenities What is very quickly noticeable is that the lounge is pleasantly bright. On the left-hand side you also have a view of the apron as…

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

    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 – Tallinn Airport Lounge by LHV (TLL)

    Introduction Thanks to a very kind invitation from Tallinn Airport, I was able to visit this lounge very early. A big thank you for that! As always, however, my review reflects my own opinion. For a comparison with the old lounge, I would like to refer you to my first article from 2022. Location and access The opening hours are daily from 04:30 am to 10:00 pm and thus cover most flights at Tallinn Airport. You can also buy admission for a stay of 3 hours here for 45 euros.…
