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 [...]
So after a marvelous visit in the Swiss First Class Lounge it was eventually time to get back to Europe. Intro Route: ORD – ZRH Flight number: LX 7 Flight time: 8:40 hours Airline: Swiss Aircraft type: Airbus A330-300 Aircraft [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
