Luxury trip to Barcelona: How to enjoy the journey with American Express!
On June 13, 2025, a fascinating travel adventure to Barcelona began, made possible by the American Express Platinum Card. Departing from Hamburg with the low-cost airline Vueling, the traveler was able to benefit from a comprehensive package of benefits that comes with the card.
The route to Hamburg Airport included access to the Hamburg Airport Lounge, a significant advantage thanks to the included Priority Pass. This lounge, which is located behind security and offers a view of the apron, was used by travelers to enjoy breakfast in a relaxed atmosphere and to spend the remaining time pleasantly until departure. Boarding went smoothly and without additional seat reservation fees, allowing the traveler to sit in a full row.
Transfer to Barcelona
Arrival at El Prat Airport in Barcelona was made easier by using Sixt Ride for transfer to hotel accommodation. An annual credit of 200 euros is available for this service. A shuttle service was booked via the Sixt app and the driver was already waiting at the exit. The transfer in a comfortable Mercedes E-Class not only offered a free bottle of water, but also the opportunity for small talk during the extremely pleasant drive to the Hotel Almanac.
Additional benefits of the American Express Platinum Card
However, the American Express Platinum Card offers more than just travel benefits. It also includes various security features guaranteed to users. For example, a support system is provided for fraudulent transactions on bank statements. Additionally, we have partnerships with merchants worldwide to protect transactions.
The card also includes systems for checking atypical or unusually large amounts, emergency card replacement in the event of loss or theft, and 24/7 support from the Platinum Travel Service team in English and Spanish. This shows that the Platinum Card is designed not only for travel but also for the safety and security of its holders.
Another part of the trip report to Barcelona will follow and will certainly offer further exciting insights into the possibilities that arise from using the American Express Platinum Card.
