TLDR: Check my reel from the flight. A few weeks before taking off on our summer trip to Portugal, I checked the SAS app where we had our booking with SAS Plus to Porto. A red message indicated that our flight had been cancel and that I needed to confirm a new suggested flight, which… Continue reading Stockholm to Porto: Air France A220 European business class

Asian A380 First Class: Seoul-Frankfurt
After visiting Palau for five days, we flew home via Seoul and Frankfurt. Above is our chubby A380 friend taking us from Seoul to Frankfurt. The seat, spacious to say the least. A first (sorry) for me was that there was a sliding door you should shut, meaning almost total privacy. We sat in two… Continue reading Asian A380 First Class: Seoul-Frankfurt
Singapore Airlines 777-300ER First Class from Copenhagen to Singapore
I recently returned back to the cold after a fantastic trip to Asia which started off with a trip with Singapore Airlines in First Class, thanks to burning a couple of years worth of Eurobonus points (airline miles). As a perk for Scandinavian passengers, the usually-with-Eurobonus-points-off-limits First Class cabin is since a while back now… Continue reading Singapore Airlines 777-300ER First Class from Copenhagen to Singapore
Flying with Thomas Cook Airlines Nordics’ Airbus A321 to Gambia
Just a short review of our trip with Thomas Cook Nordic from Stockholm to Banjul, Gambia via Las Palmas in their Airbus A321 (booked trough Swedish tour compamy Ving). When previously flying to Cape Verde with Thomas Cook Airlines, they put us in their large twin aisle A330 aircraft. Hence, I was a little surprised… Continue reading Flying with Thomas Cook Airlines Nordics’ Airbus A321 to Gambia
Pre-flight dinner at Pontus in the Air at Stockholm Arlanda Airport
I visited Pontus in the Air, Stockholm Arlanda airport’s sort of fancy restaurant, on the way to Bologna recently. It’s a welcome addition to Terminal 5 (post security) where there are not that many good options for a good meal. Pontus in the Air is named after owner Pontus Frithiof who runs a couple of… Continue reading Pre-flight dinner at Pontus in the Air at Stockholm Arlanda Airport
Back to Japan!
8 years ago, I first visited Japan, and immediately loved it. I’ve been wanting to go back ever since, but it took that my brother moved to Kyoto to force me to lift my butt, enter R2D2 and bring myself to the land of riding suns, fantastic food and great people. The trip started with… Continue reading Back to Japan!
A weekend of eating in Helsinki with a visit to Ravintola Saaga
Last weekend I visited the Finnish capital Helsinki for a 70 year birthday party. Since Helsinki is such a short flight from Stockholm (approximately 45 mins) you can go straight from an (almost) full day work and still have a decent evening out. Many airlines fly this route so you’re usually able to score decent… Continue reading A weekend of eating in Helsinki with a visit to Ravintola Saaga
¡Hola, Gran Canaria!
January, probaby my least favourite month of the year. Mostly because it is usually (very) cold, without the ability to tell yourself to think of it as ‘christmassy’ to make it a bit more bearable. It’s also the starting point of a very long stretch towards Spring which hopefully will happen somewhere in late March/April.… Continue reading ¡Hola, Gran Canaria!
Thomas Cook Airlines’ Sun Class (sort of a review)
Just got back from our trip to Cape Verde. We traveled there with Swedish tour operator Ving, which is part of Thomas Cook Northern Europe. Hence, we flew with Thomas Cook Airlines for our 7 hour trip (actually 6 hours, 40 minutes) to Cape Verde. I will write more about the actual Cape Verde trip… Continue reading Thomas Cook Airlines’ Sun Class (sort of a review)
Thai first class in pictures
We were most fortunate to have saved up on our Eurobonus (Scandinavian Airline’s frequent flier programme) miles last year, and using them we booked a trip that was really, really something. The trip started in Stockholm and continued on to Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Bangkok and finally Manila, Philippines, where our first stop was. We then returned home… Continue reading Thai first class in pictures
