Trip de Americae: Singapore Airlines SQ26 A380 FRA – JFK Suites / First Class

Posted on by

Welcome to another series of my flying! This time around I am continuing my journey around the world and flying to the United States of America on Singapore Airlines in the Suites. The Frankfurt to New York City 5th Freedom route is definitely one of the best way to cross the atlantic. The 8 hours flight was definitely too fast! Especially when you are in the Suites. I am fortunate to be able to do this way. A slight disclaimer, I may have fall asleep for 3 to 4 hours or so on the flight as well. I was actually doing this leg of the journey as part of a single ticket that I first flew on back two months ago, where the first leg took me from Singapore to Frankfurt. All in all, I paid 120,000 Miles and about 400 SGD in tax, this is definitely the way to fly!

Trip de Americae: Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Frankfurt

Posted on by

A great Star Alliance alternative will be the chic Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge that is nearby. If you are travelling with a Star Alliance ticket or a holder of a member frequent flyer program, this lounge might be a good choice in comparison to the Lufthansa offerings. The Maple Leaf Lounge is on the second level as well, located near the Mcdonalds. The lounge opens as well at 6am. I was there bright and early. It is definitely one of the better moments for me to check out the lounge fresh and bright. Definitely the perfect moment as well for me to snap all the pictures while the crowd isn’t around. This is a good offering in comparison to the frequent overcrowded lufthansa lounges. I love that the Maple Leaf Lounge have such a chic exterior and entrance.

Trip de Americae: Lufthansa Senator Lounge Frankfurt

Posted on by

Nothing feels better than a hot shower after hoboing at the Airport overnight sleeping on a hard bench! That is my exact thoughts when I was in the Lufthansa Senator Lounge in Frankfurt Terminal 1. A little recap on my itinerary, on the previous night, I arrived from Bologna on Air France with a long transit in Paris. What a day of travelling it had been. I was expecting to make my way to the transit area in Terminal 1 after dropping off my bag with Singapore Airlines, but it turned out that the check in counters were closed for the night. That means Seeing The World In Steps spend its first night in an airport! It was surely different seeing one of the busiest airport in Europe turning into such a quiet place. At 5am, I managed to be the first to check in my bags and got the golden suites ticket printed and then immediately rush to the Lufthansa Senator Lounge for a much needed shower!

Hey Guys! Seeing The World In Steps is finally back! Following on, Chapter Wanderlust, after my amazing sabbatical around Germany, Belgium, Amsterdam, Czech Republic, Austria and Italy, I will be continuing on the astounding trip of mine in the United States with my parents. I have to say this have been an amazing trip that I am still enjoying it till this moment. It has been tiring, heading out continuously for close to 50 days, but everyday is simply that magical and  Coming to think of it, making the decision to leave the comfort and fuss free life at home is not an easy decision! There might be a slight few moment where I do think of Singapore, but I would never regret taking this opportunity to undertake this adventure. After planning for more than a year I am hoping that it will turn out as much as I had expected. This is actually my first time heading to USA! WHICH MEANS! SEEING THE WORLD IN STEPS HAD MADE IT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. Full of premium travels and adventures, the experience from this trip would definitely be amazing! 68 days away from home, it certainly isn’t an easy one.  Furthermore I will be spending my first ever thanksgiving in the USA at one of my mum friends place in New York. Stay tuned for that as I expect it to be pretty special and adventurers. Back to the point. I’m currently in Frankfurt meeting up with my parents to fly to New York City.
