One kilo too much in your suitcase — and your flight gets all the more expensive. Lufthansa charges €50 more for passengers who exceed the magic baggage limit of 23 kilograms. Anyone who flies would be familiar with this scenario: at home, the suitcase is placed on the scales, at the airport, it is checked with bated breath to see whether the luggage falls within the weight limit. Excess baggage is considered a sin that airlines punish relentlessly, which makes what is now emerging in the premium segment all the more astonishing: While tourists haggle over every gram, the Group is planning to load tons of lead onto its aircraft — solely to ensure the balance for the new luxury class.

When you’re half-asleep in the morning and press the button, the world begins to smell of coffee. That’s how it works in most households. Four cups per person, each day, amounts to over 160 liters a year. Coffee even beats beer and water in some cases, where volume consumed is concerned. It is no wonder, then, that the coffee machine is the most important member of the household.

The world of music streaming has clear market leaders: Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Deezer – all services with huge catalogs, but which require a monthly subscription. Spotify has recently raised its prices significantly, in some cases up to 22 euros per month. A trend that the competition is likely to follow soon. Even the widely advertised “free” feeling usually ends after 30 days, when the trial month turns into a regular subscription. But there is an alternative that many people have missed out on until now – and which delivers on two promises at once: free and ad-free. Millions of songs, available at any time.
