Straight for gate 207 and no time to use a lounge here once again


For a visit to this machine


This is the second part on the aforementioned Fly.de confirmation, the fare again 335.00 Euro´s.
So, we see the scheduled A321 here, TC-JRL, "Tarsus".
Leg no. 25 on type and new to the log it is.
41 examples are in the fleet, impressive and this one is around with TK since 03.06.2008.
No articles found with the plane


Boarding, let´s go!


4.15 pm, 20 minutes late, leaving "İstanbul Atatürk Havalimanı" again "Turkish" made.
The 3000 meters "Three-Five-Left" it is at 16 degrees, wet after rain.
A warm welcome and a fully loaded cabin, ok it´s Friday.
Very close to 100%, biz and others, VFR maybe?, well mixed!.
33C, the window is taken and the middle seat open, lucky me


Cockpit crew is from Turkey, the "Pilot" with a somewhat stressed welcome on the ground and a IST traffic related delay. He is later on to hear again inflight much more relaxed.
Routing is Bourgas-Timisoara-Szeged-MUC at 34000 feet.
Not that massive legroom, some dark blue leather seat details and a well used cabin


Cabin crew is all female,
one young, cute, long brown hair, nice,
one middle aged, biz friendly at it´s best,
one younger, cute, black hair, nice,
one middle aged and ok
and "Déjà-vu", Miss Cook, we´ve done a flight together not that long ago and she recognized me, too.
Not that large, blonde hair, really nice, I told you!.
There is also a magazine and a safety card on offer here


The cabin and what´s on offer today?


Here it is!


Not that I´ve mentioned it previously, I like Bulgur and eat
not that much before than on the latest flights by Turkish airlines!


Touchdown at "Zero-Seven", 5.45 pm, ten minutes ahead to schedule, 4 cloudy degrees, back to reality!.
The car is surprised to see me as scheduled after just a couple of miles to fly, but well it works once more as expected, lucky me!.

Here are the conclusions:

1.)Turkish Airlines KTM-IST: A scenic ride along the Himalaya.
2.)Turkish Airlines IST-STR: Nice service and Miss Cook
compensated for the full flight.

And now the usual, really?, really!, question.
Where to go next?.

Collecting a new airline, success, a new airport to visit, success, a new and very rare plane type, ahem, we should talk about it later!:



नमस्कार
Namaskāra,
Take care.
