TRIP REPORT | Business Upgrade to Punta Cana | Discover Airlines A330-300 | Vienna to Punta Cana
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2024
- Discover Airlines Trip Report (as known as Eurowings Discover) flying from Frankfurt to Punta Cana onboard one of the Eurowings A330, in business class, on a lovely winter day. Before, we flew to Frankfurt with Austrian also in Business Class.
An absolutely amazing trip, one of the most amazing I've ever done. We were initially booked in economy on the first one and premium economy on the second. For the Vienna-Frankfurt we got a super-cheap offer during check-in and went in business and, for the Frankfurt-PuntaCana we got a free, non-requested upgrade to business at the boarding gate! You can imagine how excited we were, especially when this was the beginning of a holiday cruise in the Caribbean.
After having breakfast at the Austrian Business Lounge we boarded the A320 that would quickly take us to Frankfurt. It was a pleasant flight on the Austrian Business Class. An on-time arrival in Frankfurt was the most important, as we had a connecting flight with a terminal change.
We had a nice planespotting session at Frankfurt airport while walking to the C gates. Our A330 arrived on time from its flight from Punta Cana. When seated at the gate I got a notification that the new boarding cards were available. I went to the counter and they confirmed the upgrade! Maybe for the Miles&More status... maybe just luck. But the important as that we were going to cross the Atlantic in business and on the best seat available!
We took off from the central runway in Frankfurt towards the west and started our route to Punta Cana. There was a huge and strong jetstream over the Atlantic so our route would be much more to the north than usual. We flew over The Netherlands, the UK, and Ireland before entering the Atlantic Ocean, heading towards Canada. We reached St. Johns and we then made a 90° turn southbound towards the Caribbean. After almost 10 hours of flying and some very nice views, including Bermuda, we landed on time in Punta Cana International Airport, after a beautiful approach over the Dominican Republic.
About the onboard service, well, it was fantastic. All the food was very tasty. There were 2 main services and one midflight snack. Everything was really good. Drinks were available at all times during the flight as well as light snacks. You'll be able to see the menus on the Trip Report as well a many of the meal options themselves.
The purpose of this flight was to take a cruise ship holiday trip with Costa Cruises on the Costa Pacifica ship around the Caribbean Sea. I will add some clips of that at the end of the Trip Report. Hope you'll enjoy it!
Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Eurowings or Discover Airlines? Which route? How was the experience? Have you ever flown on the Airbus A330? What do you think about the Eurowings business class? Have you ever been in Punta Cana? Maybe in another place of the Caribbean?
Lots of things to talk about! See you all in the comments!

Once you fly a good business class trip, it's hard to go back to economy! I'm happy for you that you were upgraded on your holiday flight, what a great way to begin!
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, it's true... but I've flown so many times in economy that I can manage to back to it :))
Glad that you've enjoyed the video :)
De madrugada en Buenos Aires deleitándome con tus videos. Tu trabajo es superlativo, esos atardeceres impresionantes. Saludos desde Argentina y gracias por compartir tu excelente trabajo

Magníficos viajes. Se ve que la pasaron súper. Enhorabuena
Muchas gracias!! Fue un gran viaje, sin duda :)
Thanks Lucas that was really a great flight
Thanks a lot! :)
EXCELLENT!!!!
Thanks :))
Precioso viaje... M dieron ganas... Grcs...
Muchas gracias :))
Great video! What I loved most about it is how you showed the whole trip, which made this video feel very "complete" and well-rounded. While the focus was, of course, the Discover A330 flight, I liked how you also showed the positioning flight to FRA and the cruise.
Also, it's great how you got upgraded to Business Class on both flights! Speaking of Business Class, it looks like 4Y offers a decent Business Class product for what I assume is cheaper than legacy carriers. I think the best part of the experience, though, is hearing the A330's engine roar :)
Wonderfull video , relaxing to my mind after one hard working day !!! Greetings from SLZ Brazil !!!
Thanks a lot!! :)
am doing this route end of may
can't wait to go there again
Wish you an amazing flight!
Buena aerolínea y geniales vacaciones, espero q disfrutarais, un abrazo pareja,gracias por el video

Eso espero! :))
:D
I hope you have enjoyed your holidays! Great video.
It was great :)
Thanks
Any travel day is a good day! A travel day to holiday is a greater day! A travel day with upgrades to Business Class is a smasher! Loved the video, looked a great service, and also enjoyed the snippets of your cruise which looks awesome! unitl next time :)
I agree 100%! I love that feeling of the flying day for holidays. Flying is amazing by itself... but when it's for holidays... it's just perfect.
Great video. Love the reverse surf at Turks! The Barbados beach is Bathsheba, great surf at Soup Bowl!
Glad thta you've enjoyed this one :)

Greetings from Helsinki
Thanks a lot!!
In August I'm planning to upload a Finnair connecting flight in Helsinki ;)
This looked an amazing trip. I was very impressed with your Discovery Airlines flight to Punta Cana. I do love the A330. Very comfortable Business Class. I usually try and fly Business if possible. It was a great start to your vacation. Thank you. ✈️🚢🌊🌊🏝️🏝️
Thanks a lot! It truly was an amazing trip :))
Happy that you enjoyed this trip report!
Always great to have three windows
Absolutely!
Glad that you liked the Trip Reprot! :)
Hola Lucas, enhorabuena por vuestras vacaciones, nunca he ido de crucero, algo que tengo en pte.
Sobre la clase business de Eurowings Discover genial.
Estuve más de 12 años de expatriado en diferentes países de Iberoamérica, viajé bastante, solo una vez nos hicieron un upgrade fue un vuelo de Lan Chile de Santiago a Miami, era un Boeing 767 y el upgrade fue de business a first class, creo que es la vez que más dormí en un avión.
Pasando unas vacaciones en Punta Cana, pedimos un upgrade a una Suite, salón y dormitorio y una terraza impresionante con vistas al mar, una semana y pagué 32U$D por el upgrade, coincidió, sin saberlo, con una devaluación del $ dominicano.
Un abrazo y repito felicidades por tus vacaciones.
Once again, great video. I love watching your trip reports since to me they're so relaxing to watch. Love that you visited my homeland, Barbados. I hope you had fun here. Oh, by the way, it's Bathsheba, not Bathsheva, lol. A slight grammar or typing mistake.
I don't know if you plan on it, but you could do a trip report to Barbados. A lot of European airlines fly here. British Airways usually sends their 777-300er from LHR but recently started using the 787-10. From LGW, they use their 777-200er. Virgin Atlantic typically sends their A330s here, but depending on the season, they use their 787 or A350s. There's also Condor and a few others as well.
Anyways, cheers, and once again great video!!
Thanks a lot for the info!
It was our second time in Barbados. The first one we just made a quick visit of Bridgetown and went straight to the beach. This time we decided to pick a local tour an visit the Atlantic coast of the island... I must say I enjoyed it a lot. you have a beautiful island and country. Looking forward to my next time there! :))
Fantastic new report. I’m a huge fan! Very good work. Greetings from Munich, Germany.
Thanks a lot mate!
Soon more Lufthansa a380 from Munich on the channel :D
@@OnBoardHD sounds great!
Que guapo Lucas ya decia yo que la semana pasada que no habias subido video ahora lo entiendo jejej increibles vacaciones os lo mereceis,un abrazo bien Grande desde Mallorca :)
jaja Me alegra que te haya gustado el vídeo!
feliz domingo :)
Well Lucas i think this trip with your upgrade was extra special ❤ Yes i bet you could get really accustomed to that form of travel.I visited the DR many years ago but didn't do the cruise and i wish i had as it looked absolutely amazing. I bet you had a fantastic holiday .Thankyou soooò much for sharing ❤✈✈✈✈
Thanks a lot! Happy that you liked this one :))
In general, all the Caribbean is amazing. We try to go as much as we can... and its never enough :D
always italian cruises...great mate!
Always! For me Costa is the best cruise company out there.
@@OnBoardHD 👍
Nice one 😊
Thanks ✈️✈️
Una buena forma de empezar las vacaciones! seguro que el upgrade os puso de todavía mejor humor. Por cierto, parece que os haya escoltado el A400 de la Luftwaffe :)
Nice video! No music but cool sounds.
Chévere el trip.
Les dieron mucha comida. 😊
Ignoraste por completo a aquella belleza gris que estaba parqueado al lado del A330 cuando llegaron a Punta Cana. Me refiero al A400M.
La verdad es que estaba tan contento de haber llegar a Punta Cana que casi ni me fijé en el A400M :D
I would pay for the upgrade 🤩
I think it's worth. The extra space, the food, the option to leave the plane first, the priority boarding, the extra luggage... There are lot of advantages.
Lo motores RR en el A330 son de mis favoritos en la aviación igual el del GE del B777
Lucas saludos y felicidades por tan esplendidas vacaciones, gracias por compartir un poquito con nosotros; valió la pena el upgrade y gran sorpresa viajar en business, realmente excelente servicio y comida; una observacion en el minuto 8:13 tu texto en inglés dice Frankfurt, pero en espeñol dice Londres. Un gran abrazo.
Muchas gracias! Un placer que te haya gustado :)
sí, sñí, hay un error ahí :)
Well MR Looks AMAZING Both Flights n you up grade hope you enjoyed your cruise
(Though didn’t see you in your swim shorts 😢😁😁😎😎👀👀)
ENJOY MR 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot!
It was the perfect holiday trip :)
So you didn’t show your shorts holiday trip pics 🤔🤔
Would be nice to see you face 🤔👍👍👍💪💪💪🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Nice trips my friend I really like ur trip reports they are always interesting but can you please try Egyptair on their newer aircrafts they have improved a lot since 2022!😊😊❤❤
Thanks a lot!
I'm looking into that. Probably I'll fly Egyptair this year again...
I flew on D-AIKD back in August 2014 from Dubai to Frankfurt, and two weeks later with D-AIKC the reverse flight from Frankfurt to Dubai. Both Aircraft used to operate with Lufthansa.
Hope you got some nice memories back! :)
Llegaste gordito a Punta Cana 😅. Magnífico video
Nos llenaron bien! :D
Muy entretenido el trip report la verdad y los clips del crucero le dieron el toque espero algún día tengas la oportunidad de visitar Venezuela y hacer un trip report desde Caracas a Estambul con el 787-9 de Turkish Airlines ✈️
Muchas gracias!!
Un placer que te haya gustado este Trip Report!
Pronto tendremos Turkish Airlines en el canal, pero por ahora no a Venezuela...
Wow, you‘re really lucky to got the upgrade in Business Class 👍😊 It’s the same seat as in Lufthansa’s Business Class but many people say the service in Discover’s Business Class is better 🥂
Yeah, I don't know the Lufthansa service... but this one was really nice :)
@@OnBoardHD Oh okay, then you should check out Lufthansa’s Business Class either, maybe their new Allegris Business Class 👍 I had really friendly flight attendants on all of my flights with them :)
i'm excited for their new livery to come out. I hope they launch new destinations from the east coast like JFK or Miami
I Am Not A Fan Off These Seat.Great Trip Report
Well, then I don't know which seats you like.. =/
El aeropuerto de la capital de Austria 🇦🇹 es muy muy enorme
Welcome back Lucas😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed the video ✈️✈️
