Berlin has long been seen as ‘poor but sexy’, undeniably a Mecca for unbridled creativity and adventure, virtues essential to the constant innovation required at the top level of fashion design.

It’s All About the Spirit!
© Edward Moss Photography
During the Olympic games, the message was very much about participation and inclusion, and not so much about winning. As it’s Christmas Time, however, we decided that participating in something is, in fact, even better if you win a prize. So we thought about a competition for the people of Birmingham that was fun and, at the same time, gave people a good chance to win...

Christmas Time Around the World!
Christmas really is the most special time of year, and it means many different things to many different people throughout the world. Even though it is an integral part of the Christian calendar, it has become a holiday celebrated by people of different religions, and indeed people of no religion, across the globe. So it’s fair to say that the core values of Christmas can transcend any religious...

The Christmas season has begun.
Birmingham Christmas Market - Photo: © John James
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And it wouldn’t be Christmas without a heart-warming Christmas market! Just think of all those cosy things to get you in the Christmas spirit – a tasty snack of gingerbread or a freshly baked Stollen, a Glühwein to keep you warm, the sound of Christmas carols floating through the cold wintry air, and not...

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder.
The nature of the modern working world means that a long-distance relationship isn’t particularly uncommon. Logistically, at least, it’s something that can be managed a lot easier than perhaps a few decades ago. Coping with it emotionally, however, is a different matter. It can be extremely difficult for couples to maintain a certain degree of closeness when you have so many miles between you. So...

Stockholm, 8°C, Dauerregen! Bloggerin Elisabeth Rank hat sich davon nicht abschrecken lassen und ging für ein Wochenende auf Entdeckungsreise:
In der kurzen Nacht vor dem Abflug träumte ich von tanzenden Zimtschnecken, sommerlichen Temperaturen sowie handzahmen Elchen. Die Realität sah beim Weckerklingeln um 5 Uhr morgens dann jedoch etwas anders aus, stockfinster und kalt schnupfte Berlin...

No Need to be Glum: A Rainy Weekend in Stockholm
Sweden can be rainy sometimes, but that doesn’t effect us. We’ve sent blogger Elisatbeth Rank to Sweden to spend a weekend there and to explore Stockholm’s charming autumn. During the all-too-short night before my flight, I dreamed of dancing cinnamon pastries, summer temperatures and tame Elks. The reality, as I woke to the sound of the alarm clock at five in the morning, looked...

Time For A Nice Cup Of Tea…
“There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea”, as the Basque philosopher Bernard-Paul Heroux famously put it. Aside from the well-documented benefits to one’s health, the psychological virtues of a cup of tea have never been so accurately described. It has a remarkable ability to sooth the soul, so it is of little wonder that this extraordinary drink...

Our Feathered Friend - The Crane.
What a spectacular and majestic bird, shrouded in mythology and history, immortalized in ancient cultures from China to North America and everywhere in between. They say that birds of a feather flock together, and even though airplanes don’t actually have feathers, it’s little wonder that this beautiful creature serves as the inspiration behind the Lufthansa logo. When it comes to the art of...

Sometimes There’s Just Not Enough Hours In The...
When planning a trip to a major European city, it’s only natural that one makes a long list of things they want to see and do. But perhaps it’s just as important to make time to see the city for what it really is, away from the big attractions and best-known sightseeing hotspots. After all, what makes a city special and what gives it its unique flavour is not to be found where the masses of...

Lufthansa kulinarisch - Was kommt aufs Tablett?...
Unsere Jury war fleißig: Sie hat inzwischen (fast) alle acht Tabletts zusammengestellt und ist außerdem sehr, sehr satt. Die Verkostung neigt sich somit dem Ende entgegen.
Im nächsten Schritt müssen unsere Lufthansa-Kollegen noch die Umsetzbarkeit der fertigen Kombinationen prüfen. Die Veranstaltung war auf jeden Fall ein Erfolg und hat allen Spaß gemacht. Unsere Fotografen und das Kamerateam...

Lufthansa kulinarisch - Was kommt aufs Tablett?...
Um die Lufthansa-Menüs „flugfähig“ zu machen, bedarf es einer längeren Vorlaufzeit. Für jedes einzelne Gericht wird eine eigene Rezeptur erarbeitet, die daraufhin gekocht, gekostet, verworfen, erneut verfeinert und schließlich angerichtet wird. Die Köche unseres Caterers, LSG Sky Chefs, bereiten dann alle unsere Speisen nach diesen jeweils vorgegebenen Rezepturen zu. Die besondere Herausforderung...

Lufthansa kulinarisch - Was kommt aufs Tablett?

Zudem wissen alle Hobby-Köche, dass es einfacher ist, eine überschaubare Anzahl Portionen in hoher Qualität zu kochen, als Essen für mehrere tausend Personen im laufenden...

A HISTORY OF SUPERLATIVES
Humans are, at heart, a competitive species. Competition fuels our innovations and vice versa. For every inspired individual that comes up with a breathtaking new idea, a new take on existing routines or a solution to a pressing problem, there is always at least one who sees it as a challenge. Doubly so for fields that deal with urgent crises or with mankind’s oldest dreams.
Even before the...

Celebrating the Legend – With Flights to Delhi
This year, Germany is in the grips of a very unreliable summer. Super hot days are rare and they can turn into thunderstorms within minutes. The short sunny moments breaking through the clouds every now and then? You really should not trust them.
Last Sunday a hot three-day summer came to a splashing end for the German capital. But even the heavy downpour could not spoil the fun for the visitors...
