The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore route was the busiest international air route in the world in 2018, with 30,187 flights per year, according to an analysis by travel information service OAG Aviation Worldwide. The corona pandemic has certainly reduced this number significantly. However, there are still numerous daily connections between the two Southeast Asian cities.

Die Lounge-Dichte am Flughafen Bangkok ist erstaunlich hoch. Bevor wir mit SWISS nach Zürich abhoben, besuchten wir die Oman Air First & Business Class Lounge Bangkok. Ich hatte schon viel über die Lounge gelesen und war gespannt, ob in der Priority Pass Lounge tatsächlich Champagner serviert wird.
Lufthansa Senator Lounge Berlin

Lufthansa Senator Lounge Berlin

Due to the opening of Berlin Airport during the coronavirus pandemic and the associated travel restrictions, Lufthansa initially only opened a smaller lounge for all passengers with different frequent flyer statuses. With the increasing volume of travellers at the beginning of 2023, Lufthansa decided to expand the lounge offering to include a Senator Lounge in the originally planned area. Find out what frequent flyers can expect in the Lufthansa Senator Lounge Berlin in our review.
The Lounge Leipzig/Halle

The Lounge Leipzig/Halle

At the end of 2023, the time had finally come: The Lounge Leipzig/Halle was opened at my home airport Leipzig/Halle. During the Corona pandemic, the Lufthansa lounges in Leipzig and at many other smaller airports in Germany were completely shut down. And even when travel activity increased again in 2022, the lounges remained closed. So it was good news to discover this new lounge and see what it has to offer before my flight from Leipzig to Frankfurt.

You can find out whether the journey was worth it in the lounge review.
