If you’ve got a flight in the early morning, getting to Athens’ airport from the city center can be painful. The train only runs every 30 minutes, and can be so crowded with people getting to work, that boarding with luggage becomes a struggle. So for our recent trip to Luxor, Egypt, we decided to spend some of our hard-earned miles on a night at the Sofitel, located directly across from the airport terminal. We see this hotel every time we fly into Athens, and long wondered what it’d be like to stay there. But the Sofitel isn’t just convenient: it’s expensive. This five-star hotel just isn’t in our regular travel budget. Luckily, that’s what miles are for! We arrived at the airport at 4pm, and walked the short distance to the hotel. Entering the lobby is a “wow” moment; upscale, cozy and modern, there’s no mistaking you’re in a five-star joint. A line of crew members from Aegean Air were ahead of us while checking in, but things moved along pretty quickly. https://www.youtube.com
