Just for one more viking!.
This is the second leg on the Orbitz confirmation,
the fare 55.00 Euro´s.
No extra security here again at the "Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup" or also "Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup"
and straight for the gate A27.
No time to use a lounge here again

Well, not the same viking again, good,
but when we know that OY-KFF "Karl Viking" is covered in my log twice on STR-CPH and WRO-CPH, well, ok!.
Leg no. 19 on type, the CRJ900, finally.
In the air with SK since 03.05.2009, another example of the 12 in the fleet.
Here are Karl´s stories:

Cockpit crew is from Scandinavia again.
The "Pilot" with a nice welcome on the ground.
Late catering and a couple of minutes to wait for.
No route or flightlevel info again.
Once more short prior to approach in a nice style and the latest weather details.
08.45 pm, 25 minutes late by "Scandinavian" and 1.15 hours for the homebase. Departure from the 3300 meters "Zero-Four-Right".
16 degrees and now the rain found also the way for the
"Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup" or also "Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup".
Safety and the legroom at 16A, the exit window and two for me.
Superb, to say the least and the dark blue fabric seats are clean so far
 photo UA1301233_zpsce2b2eb5.jpg
 photo UA1301234_zps6b7cce22.jpg
Cabin crew is two elder and ok female FA´s.
The load is very close to 100%, as far as I see only the exit row is not taken beside me. Biz and VFR travellers well mixed
 photo UA1301235_zps86a54c5f.jpg
 photo UA1301236_zpsf622eda6.jpg
Service is coffee, tea, water for free.
The dark cabin and the special safety card
 photo UA1301237_zpse071d9e9.jpg
 photo UA1301238_zpsf889cb51.jpg
And me, dreaming about Antonov´s, Tupolev´s and nice..., no, final descent is announced, no more dreaming!.
Touchdown at "Two-Five", 09.50 pm, short ahead to schedule, 17 degrees and the sky is clear. Really?. Really, no joke, this is the "Flughafen Stuttgart", where the car is waiting, everything ok?. Yes!.

Not to miss the conclusions:

1.)UIA KBP-WAW: Comfy last row cruising on the Embraer.
2.)SAS WAW-CPH: More upgrade´s, please.
3.)SAS CPH-STR: A sleepy exit row service for the homebase.

Two nights only at the homebase till something more to fly.
But not all operating companies like something more to fly!.
This one does:

Immigration is also quick here.
OLCI works well from the hotel, seats are selected and where to catch the boarding pass?.
Well, there is anyway a security check to go, so out in the public for the biz desk and just a minute later I´am prepared to go again airside.
No one in front at the checks.
The following two legs are on one confirmation, managed by Orbitz this time.
And the fare for this leg is 55.00 Euro´s.
Also Dreamliners need sometimes special care!

No lounging here, less time and no apron views.
Gate 1 it is now and it looks like a well loaded flight.

 photo UA1301218_zpsa0d234e0.jpg
Cockpit crew is from Scandinavia.
The "Kaptajn" with a nice welcome during boarding, strong headwind is announced. He is once again to hear short ahead to CPH with the 5 minutes till to switch on the seatbelt sign info, the last chance to use the restroom, well done.
No route or flightlevel info.
5.55 pm, 20 minutes late, leaving the "Warsaw Chopin Airport" or also "Lotnisko Chopina w Warszawie" by "Scandinavian". 1.20 hours to go again from runway "Two-Nine".
Up where the blue is and a Scanoramic view!
 photo UA1301219_zps82d0d188.jpg
 photo UA1301220_zps8dcd8b04.jpg
Cabin crew is two elder women, both nice, but one with a   somewhat strong touch. She´s the boss, we know!.
The load is 100%. Lot´s of biz travellers on the way.
Service and the safety card.
Coffee and tea is served instantly along the flight
 photo UA1301221_zps7297934e.jpg

Touchdown at the 3300 meters "Two-Two-Left". 17 cloudy degrees, at least no rain till now, 7.20 pm is finally 25 minutes late.
And also the clouds are low at the "Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup" or also "Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup".
Bye now for the viking, ok, at least this viking!

Large and spacious
 photo UA1301173_zps5fb3c263.jpg
 photo UA1301174_zps2a7ca140.jpg
OLCI works well this time, my seat is selected
and the nice young woman at the desk printed the paper.
Just by surprise, UIA is no Skyteam member, but there is a  cooperation with AF and also KL and both flights are credited on my Skyteam mileage account, well done.
This ticket is secured by Fly.de, the fare is 110.00 Euro´s.
Close to no time to wait at passport and security check now.
Ok, not everything here is up to date!
 photo UA1301175_zps170cf67b.jpg
 photo UA1301176_zps07c2f7a4.jpg

No lounge to use here for me
 photo UA1301179_zpsd37fdc33.jpg
 photo UA1301180_zps0219dac9.jpg
Well the Embraer is nice but the background is much nicer
 photo UA1301181_zps26351724.jpg
 photo UA1301182_zps7ab2874d.jpg
This is UR-EME, the Embraer 190 like on schedule.
A pretty new plane, less than two months in service since 03.07.2013 only and therefore easy to check, new to the log and leg no. 27 on type.
Well, what about a name?.
5 examples are in the fleet and there are no stories to show
 photo UA1301183_zpscdec5b7b.jpg
 photo UA1301184_zps3eac3f7e.jpg
UTair looks like also interesting and well flydubai, too

 photo UA1301186_zps78c37799.jpg
Boarding now, 2.10 pm, perfectly ontime, 1.25 hours managed by "Ukraine International".
Leaving the "Міжнародний аеропорт Бориспіль" or also "Boryspil International Airport" from the 4000 meters "One-Eight-Left" with a partly cloudy sky and 19 degrees.
Cockpit crew is ukrainian, the "пілот" with a nice and detailed welcome on the ground in a really experienced but also enthusiastic style, well done.
He is once more to hear detailed inflight and also short prior to descent into WAW with the latest weather conditions.
No route details, but flightlevel is 34000 feet
 photo UA1301187_zps7866ba81.jpg
 photo UA1301188_zps02858530.jpg
On the way with a close to 100% load of VFR travellers
and the last row rule works well again today, 26A and two for me
 photo UA1301189_zpsd6747c85.jpg
 photo UA1301190_zpsf4f9f229.jpg
Cabin crew is one middle aged nice woman,
one asian style young woman, cute, really nice
and one young, well built ukrainian woman, long red hair freckles, ahem, really nice!.
We talked a bit along the flight and also later during disembarking. The middle aged woman has done a good number of flights on the Embraer, but both the younger women just finished training on type a couple of days ago
and they are really proud about this new plane.
Above the flatlands and for the thunderstorms

2.30 pm, impressive 20 minutes ahead to schedule. 15 degrees, cloudy, rainy, wet not to talk more about it.
Welcome to "Warsaw Chopin Airport" or also
"Lotnisko Chopina w Warszawie" with Enter Air and a couple of russian heli´s on the apron
