And also 2015:




So, this is "London Heathrow Airport" Terminal 2, not the most modern place around the world. We will see if we find the way for one more plane or maybe also  a lounge?


Well, so it looks like at gate A2


Yes, this is D-AKNU, the one and only without an individual name, joke, an A319 like on schedule.
Done on the first flight out of DTM once before, leg no. 108 on type.
Since 13.12.2005 with Germanwings and 43 examples are in the fleet actually.

This plane is also well known here:

No, I dislike to be imprisoned


Definitely better this way


Cabin crew is all female, one elder, nice talking during boarding, one middle aged, nice, one young, really nice.
Service is BOB.
The ticket is fixed with 4U itself at 109.00 Euro´s.
16 sunny and windy degrees also here. Departure at 2.00 pm, just some minutes late from the 3902 meters "Two-Seven-Right". 1.10 "Germanwings" hours and a view for the cabin


Cockpit crew is from Germany, a nice welcome during boarding from the left hand seat and detailed inflight once again in a nice style. No route info but flightlevel maximum is 39000 feet.
The load is 70% biz and leisure well mixed. 25A and six for me at least. Grey leather seats, legroom, ok some kind of legroom is also available here!


The mag or the menu?


And the weather is still nice


Touchdown at "Two-Five", 4.20 pm, 10 minutes ahead to schedule, 20 partly cloudy degrees at the "Flughafen Stuttgart -
Manfred Rommel Flughafen".
And the final bye-bye, at least for today!


Here are the conclusions:
1.)AerLingus MAN-LHR: Fast, to fast in London.
2.)Germanwings LHR-STR: Shaky on finals but relaxed on the way.

And now?.
Yes, Sir, for the military track:



Bye for now and take care, as usual.

This idea is worth a dedication, also when it doesn´t work in the end





The trip in one word:

"IDEAS"


Hello and a good day dear readers,

And sure, don´t miss the vids:

No way, there is something new and soon to be gone to catch on the way, this way:

And 2015 shows something more:




So, here I am at "Manchester airport", the day started early and some necessary shopping is done. What about the action at the apron?. For example these good looking prop?


Just for any speedy delivery needs!


Well, it´s England. Sitting in the sun, warm, watching the planes gone by till this one


An irish registered Virgin, interesting


It looks like the machine for London


No chance to go for a lounge here. Sunny, just a couple of clouds, 9 degrees and windy, nothing else expected in England, isn´t it?


That´s the one at gate 18, I believe.
EI-EZV "Tartan Lassie" is an A320, leg no. 118 on type and a new machine to the log.
In the air with Eurofly from 20.05.2003, a name change for Meridiana at 28.02.2010 and with AerLingus since 02.04.2013. Three examples operated the Little Red brand and here are some stories:

http://avherald.com/h?article=4797ae19&opt=0



Boarding now, time to go at 10.35 am, short ahead to schedule, just 35 minutes announced by "Virgin" from the 3048 meters "Two-Three-Right"


The fare is 64.00 Euro´s fixed via the airlines website.
Questions?. Just to clear it this way


Modern style, so it looks like


Cabin crew is all female, one senior, nice talking, one elder, ok, one middle aged nice and one younger, not that really motivated today, hangover style!.
Cockpit crew is irish, the chief introduces the crew by name during a nice welcome speech, he´s once again to hear short to London. No route or flight level data to notice. Do not miss the safety card, isn´t it?


Tyrrells plane crisps and free drinks , now that fit´s perfectly


Six for me at least around 29F, the load is not more than 50%.
Brown red oldfashioned style leather seats, low legroom and not that really clean it is.
Don´t get me wrong, but this looks like London, so fast and much faster than
expected


Marvellous views all around, ok it´s March and it´s England, perfect!


And here we are, "London Heathrow Airport", the 3660 meters "Two-Seven-Left", sunny and windy at 16 degrees.  11.40 am, ontime, english perfection!



Always these final legs, just a moment, please!.
