TRIP REPORT | Business Upgrade to Punta Cana | Discover Airlines A330-300 | Vienna to Punta Cana

- Опубліковано 28 тра 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!

Lufthansa recently upped service and catering quality on the main line but also on discover
it wasn't awful before but this is def a step up
Ohhhhhh por fin llegó Punta cana al canal 😊🤪😍 gracias Lukas.
Esperado también America latina pronto.

Another great trip report, and what a treat to be upgraded to Business class!
Thanks for posting. 😊
Thanks a lot!
It was an amazing way to start holidays :))
Wow yet another great video 👏your holiday looked amazing thank you 👍
Thanks so much!
Happy that you liked the Trip Report :))
Desde Bolivia cochabamaba buen inicio de fin de semana aquí esperando un nuevo vuelo
Nos vemos en el estreno! :)
Excelente video, por los lugares que visitaste me doy cuenta que fueron unas vacaciones espectaculares. Gracias por visitar mi hermoso país 🇩🇴, espero y vuelvas pronto😅
Muchas gracias!
Siempre es un autentico placer viajar por el Caribe. Es genial :)
Súper vuelos, el servicio de calidad y tus vacaciones geniales. Bellísimos paisajes y como siempre esperando el próximo.✈️🌏
Muchas gracias, Solange!
U n placer :)
Que vuelo tan chulo!!! Que ganas de verlo, la verdad que los vuelos en el caribe y toda la zona son muy interestes!!!
Al final habrá algunos clips del crucero que hicimos en vacaciones. Espero que oa guste! ✈️✈️
Wonderfull video , relaxing to my mind after one hard working day !!! Greetings from SLZ Brazil !!!
Thanks a lot!! :)
The Airbus A320-200 24 years airplane thats amazing. Nice trip reports. As seen on other trip reports like always Schwechat airport Vienna, Austria thats cool. Frankfurt is in Germany. Nice airlines. I like that sound.
Thanks, Neil!
happy that you've enjoyed this trip report :))
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 :)
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 :)
Wow, very nice, you didn't leave hungry. Thank you for the tour. 😊
haha yeah, it was a really nice experience. :)
Very nicely done mate 👌 Thanks for sharing
Wow the ending clips were the best! I'd love to travel to Dominican republic someday!
Great video as always man and I'll be watching the next video tomorrow. DBX-SIN
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! :))
GREAT video mate!!!
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.
Bermuda - lugar maravilloso!
A ver si puedo visitarlo pronto! :)
Wonderfull, Wonderfull, Wonderfull video !!!Mixing Aviation and Tourism. Nobody make this mix. If you begin to do, will be SUPER WONDERFULL !!!
I will keep posting videos like this one... but the ammount will be very limited, as we don't make many holiday trips...
BUENO BUENO BUENO!!!! Posiblemente el mejor trip report que he visto nunca!!!enhorabuena 🎉🎉 preciosos vuelos y menudo servicio...

La verdad es que fue un viaje genial! :))
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.
Awesome 👌
Greetings from Helsinki
Thanks a lot!!
In August I'm planning to upload a Finnair connecting flight in Helsinki ;)
EXCELLENT!!!!
Thanks :))
Nice video! No music but cool sounds.
The best video ❤
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.
always such a pleasure to see you my man what happened last time cause was two weeks ago since you did a flight report on the lufthansa air bus a380 but great to see you flying again my friend
Thanks so much, Caleb :))
What happened last week is that there's no always time for editing on time for the next week...
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!
Muito legal 😎
Muchas gracias :)
Always great to have three windows
Absolutely!
Glad that you liked the Trip Reprot! :)
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 🤔👍👍👍💪💪💪🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Another great review! Sitting in 5K did you find being so close to the galley bothersome?
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
Nice video
thank you :)
@@OnBoardHD no problem!!
always italian cruises...great mate!
Always! For me Costa is the best cruise company out there.
@@OnBoardHD 👍
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
Lo motores RR en el A330 son de mis favoritos en la aviación igual el del GE del B777
I must not get used to this. Economy is my place 😂😂 😂
exactly
What a great Video, looks good! How many Lavs for the Business Class? One was out or order?
I think there was one, but can recall.
Divine! 🎉
thanks :)
I Am Not A Fan Off These Seat.Great Trip Report
Well, then I don't know which seats you like.. =/
