"La Primera" is worth a dedication, isn´t it?"




The trip in one word:

"Differences"

Hola, amigos,

This way, please!:



Thanx to once more:

Straight for the hotel right now
by public transport, what works, ok with a couple of minutes to wait


We are at the SB Plaza Europa


And also a nightly Barcelona city view should be possible


Enjoyable it was


And just by surprise a good number of people around on the streets


And what´s this?


Dry and chilly it was


For Gaudi this way


Nice architecture, definitely


And back for the hotel now


Something to read maybe


Up or down?.
Well, the elevator wasn´t right sure, but after an speedy fall down and a couple of minutes at an intermediate stop somewhere, where we better don´t know where, it opened the door and we emerged it, upright and alive!


How about the books here?


Breakfast, ok, I should spend the whole day here this way


But in the end, the aeropuerto calls!.

And certainly 2015:




This time we fixed the tix directly at the Vueling website at 55.00 Euro´s each.
Interesting to note that during the time of booking the two competitors IB, ok and UX want to see much more for the flight at this date and also VY noticed it. A couple of days prior we see a mail from VY with the offer to switch the flight to another date and an 60.00 Euro´s voucher what is more that we payed in the end.
But, no chance with today´s schedule.
Later we noticed also standby pax at the gate.
Shoud we really do one of these?


For example the one at B43 and sure, just the only one here with the low legroom


Well, so it looks like


"Vueling the world", some people call it also EC-JFF, an A320 it is, nothing else expected, just leg no. 115 on type and new to the log it is


Since 07.03.2005 with Vueling, 84 planes are in the actual fleet and there are no special stories to show here


Cabin crew is all middle aged and ok, one male, three female FA´s. Cockpit crew is from Spain, "Bon vuelo" is what we hear from "El piloto" followed by some very short info inflight. No route or flightlevel details.
Service is BOB and we don´t use a lounge here.
I prefer a 757 any day


Leaving the "Aeroport de Barcelona–El Prat" for one more sunny ride by "Vueling".
11.00 am, ontime, the 2660 meters "Two-Five-Left", 22 degrees and no duration info

Fresh and well maintained it looks like


The legroom at 27E is well, non-existent


And the load is 100%, all visible seats are taken


At least there is a magazine and something to eat, as long as you pay for


Upstairs and downstairs


Cruising for the "Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas"


How I miss these blue sky


Short finals


Touchdown at the 3500 meters "Three-Two-Right", impressive 30 minutes ahead to schedule at 11.50 am and 16 degrees.
Where the sky is close to non-realistic blue


Bye now to Vueling


Ok, ok let´s go now


Under the nose, you know


And now?




More to come, sure, trust me.
Ok, as long as nothing turns wrong!.
