    New Review Hotel Turist – Varazdin Turist Varazdin

    Booking The booking itself was made by the company, so I didn’t have to take care of it myself. I booked a single room, but that was sufficient for the short time I spent in the hotel. Location The hotel is located within walking distance of restaurants and the castle of Varazdin. The city is around an hour’s drive from Zagreb. Check In As we checked in late in the evening, everything went smoothly and quickly.   Rooms The first impression is good, the hotel has four stars. At the…

    New Review Hilton – Tokyo (Hilton Shinjuku)

    Booking The aim was to find affordable nights with a certain level of luxury in Tokyo over the New Year period, which is particularly challenging in Tokyo over the New Year period. The Hilton chain has several hotels in Tokyo, the Hilton and the Conrad made it to the shortlist. Economic reasons led me to book the cheapest available room at the Hilton Tokyo. Location The hotel is easy to reach from Haneda Airport by car or public transportation, but it is a little longer from Narita Airport. Shinjuku station…

    New Review Hampton Dubai Airport – Dubai (DXB)

    Booking I was due to arrive in Dubai late in the evening and didn’t feel like driving into the city, so I opted for an airport hotel. I made the booking itself, a non-cancellable rate, via the Hilton app. As it was only going to be one night, I chose the cheapest room, a King Guest Room. Location Despite the name Hampton Dubai Airport, the hotel is around 15 minutes away by Uber, so you could also go into the city. The metro station is just under a 10-minute walk…

    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.…

    New Review Business Class – Ethiopian Airlines (ET)

    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 Lounge – London (LHR)

    This Lounge has been renovated in 2024 – so these pictures are from the time before the renovation. In the course of a trip to London, I was at the airport early. This allowed me to visit the Singapore Airlines Lounge in Terminal 2. This is the first Singapore Airlines lounge outside of Singapore. Location and access The lounge is located after the security check, in the Terminal 2 satellite. This means that you should allow around half an hour for the walk. Access to the lounge is available to…

    New Review Primeclass Lounge – Zagreb (ZAG)

    Zagreb Airport is manageable, but it is still the hub of Croatian Airlines. Unfortunately, Croatian Airlines does not have its own lounge. The only lounge is the Primeclass Lounge. Location and access The lounge is located after the security check after Duty Free. Unfortunately, the lounge is not really signposted, but this is not a problem per se. Customers in Business Class, status holders and Priority Pass holders have access to the lounge. Amenities The size is sufficient for the departing flights. There are no showers in the lounge, but…
