The post Airbus A380 makes a comeback at Lufthansa appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily.

Lufthansa is reactivating the Airbus A380 in response to the steep rise in customer demand and the delayed delivery of ordered aircraft. The airline expects to use the long-haul aircraft, which is popular with customers and crews, again from summer 2023. The company is currently assessing how many A380s will be reactivated and which destinations the Airbus will fly to.

Lufthansa still has 14 Airbus A380s, which are currently parked in Spain and France for long-term so called “deep storage”. Six of these aircraft have already been sold, eight A380s remain part of the Lufthansa fleet for the time being.

The Executive Board Members of Deutsche Lufthansa AG also announced the reactivation of the A380 in a joint letter to the company’s customers: “In the summer of 2023, we not only expect to have a much more reliable air transport system worldwide. We will be welcoming you back on board our Airbus A380s, too. We decided today to put the A380, which continues to enjoy great popularity, back into service at Lufthansa in summer 2023. In addition to this, we are further strengthening and modernizing our fleets with some 50 new Airbus A350, Boeing 787 and Boeing 777-9 long-haul aircraft and more than 60 new Airbus A320/321s in the next three years alone.”

The Airbus A380 is the world’s largest passenger aircraft: it is 73 meters long and 24 meters high and can seat 509 passengers at Lufthansa.

The post First look at Aira Hotel, Bangkok’s newest luxury property leading the way towards new Sukhumvit Soi 11 appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily.

Bangkok has now got its latest luxury address. Offering an eclectic vibe of Thai splendour like no other, the 4-star Rattanakosin-inspired hotel in Bangkok, Aira Hotel has opened its doors today on 1 July 2022.

Perched on one of Bangkok’s most famous streets, Sukhumvit 11, the hotel is in the heart of it all and offers guests an immersive Thai cultural experience. This opening marks the sixth property for Kingston Hotels Group to offer a total of 1522 keys in Bangkok. Reservations are now accepted at www.airahotelbangkok.com

A golden era inspires a modern oasis

Aira Hotel offers 255 rooms in the 22-story property defined by aesthetic quality and comfort yet highlighted by a stylish blend of distinctive Thai notes and under the concept of “A golden era inspires a modern oasis”. The hotel was designed to convey this exact sense of grandeur and nobility, offering a sublime setting for guests and visitors. The hotel’s interior was inspired by the rich royal and cross-cultural heritage of the Rattanakosin era, which saw a unique blend of traditional Thai designs and European colonial influences.

The name, Aira, is drawn from ‘Airavata’, the white elephant that carries the Hindu deity Indra, God of Tavatimsa heaven and a guardian deity in Buddhism. The elephant also features in the logo. Aira is also the name of the hotel’s white elephant that sits in the lobby adorned in royal garments.

Evoking worldly Thai finesse in the heart of the capital

Apart from the rooms, the hotel also provides sophisticated luxury with a touch of Thai finesse and comfort with the aid of all modern facilities and services that make our guest experience truly memorable.  Our facilities include an outdoor salt-water swimming pool which offers a stunning view of the Sukhumvit skyline, a meeting venue for business conferences & special events, fitness room with the latest equipment and an on-site Starbucks at the lobby floor.

Boasting the perfect location on Sukhumvit Soi 11, the BTS Skytrain Nana Station and MRT Asok station are within a few minutes’ walk and options for lip-smacking street food, shopping, massage shops, nail salons, and vibrant nightlife are just around the corner.

To celebrate the hotel’s opening, the hotel is offering an exclusive launch promotion available to book until 31 October 2022 on www.airahotelbangkok.com which directly upgrades you to the most instagrammable room Jacuzzi Corner.
