So what is coming up in 2016?

by Jue on January 5, 2016
Somehow it does feel to me 2015 was a rather quite travel year for me. I ended up with only 34 flying segments, which is dramatically less than in previous years: 2014: 91 flights 2013: 116 flights 2012: 99 flights   Nevertheless I had some real [...]

Swiss First Class Lounge in Chicago (ORD) - Enough place for everyone

Swiss First Class Lounge in Chicago (ORD)

by Jue on December 1, 2015
I was flying in with United from Orlando, hence had to change the terminal. Swiss is using Terminal 5, the international one, like many of its Star Alliance partners. However, interestingly enough Lufthansa uses Terminal 5 only for arrivals and departures [...]

Swiss new First Class in the Airbus A330-300: LX86 ZRH-YUL

by Jue on August 27, 2015
I played quite a while with my routing to Orlando, since this touristic destination is tough to reach. I mean, do you want to fly on an old Lufthansa 747-400 and risking the old Business Class (no First Class anymore)? So when the opportunity to fly Swiss [...]

Disneyworld, Florida 2015

Trip – All the way to Disneyworld: Orlando 2015

by Jue on July 13, 2015
I had previously posted that due to a friend of mine living in Orlando I expected myself to visit him in Florida. Well, after some planning I found a nice routing ex-ARN in Swiss First Class. Sure there might be a more direct way, but that would be only [...]

All the way to Florida – Disneyworld edition

by Jue on April 3, 2015
After quite some time I finally locked in my first of hopefully many Florida trips in the next years, which is now officially scheduled for early July. While I had many things in mind, it turned out getting to Orlando (MCO) is actually somewhat tricky. I [...]

Peaceful sky.... morning flight to FRA. Oct 2013

All the way to Florida

by Jue on November 20, 2014
A friend of mine is moving to Disney… I mean Orlando this December taking on a new job, supposedly for the next two years. I guess many would be sad if someone they like is moving so far away. I ain’t someone. I am happy. Mainly, of course for [...]

Frankfurt Airport - Lufthansa's main hub

Long-term strategy: StarAlliance… and what else?

by Jue on July 18, 2014
Pretty turbulent days the Lufthansa share has seen. Their new CEO Carsten Spohr cut all forecasts, the share plunged over 30% down the following days. Shortly afterwards, in early July, he spoke about the new strategy for the LH and its group, which [...]

Swiss First Class Lounge in Zurich (ZRH)

by Jue on April 28, 2014
I always liked ZRH. It is such a pretty neat airport! When I did arrive on one of their A340’s from SFO I also had the chance to check out their First Class Lounge. Now, while I am not really utterly impressed by their Senator and Business Lounges I [...]

LX 39 SFO-ZRH Old First Class - The Swiss Airbus A340 at SFO

Swiss old First Class in the Airbus A340-300: LX39 SFO – ZRH

by Jue on April 25, 2014
Introduction After the marvellous experience in the Lufthansa new First Class with bed in the Boeing 747-400 I had chosen Swiss for the return flight. Yes, they “only” have their old First Class product in its A343 fleet, but I thought it is [...]

Maybe February is not precisely the best time for standing on the 54th floor at night and trying to get a few shots. Then again, while you there you don’t want to miss out on these kind of sceneries either. I really should think about a more appropriate time for the next visit or stop-over.

I still think L.A. is overrated as hell. However, downtown is at least nice for photography. Otherwise I really don't get the hype about this city by certain people.

The weather changes in Yellowstone are amazing. We had virtually anything, from sunshine, clouds and snow, sometimes even within really short distances. Here were some stormy clouds passing us by with the sun still shining down on us.

The little fella is hanging at a house on the right-hand side of La Ramble when walking towards Plaza Catalunya. However, up until now I never had an idea what the origin is. Apparently all dates back to the mid of the 19th century when artists were strongly influenced by Japanese arts, a movement called “Japonisme”. Well, the center was actually Paris, which is not that far away from Barcelona. Well, back then it was still a one-day train ride. Hence, many artists from Catalunya spent at least some time in the French capital city. The “casa dels paraigüe” (“umbrella’s house”, on which this dude is hanging, was opened at the prime of this time. Apart from that this house is anyway a true highlight in terms of cultural design elements!
