I'am getting used to this late morning departures, but not in every case, no, at certain circumstances every time to go is a good time!.
But today it is definitely a relaxed start after the early morning motorway rush. In no time, so it feels like I´am at the airport, P0, the car knows the way, see you and walking for the terminal.
OLCI with the second and third leg on the confirmation is available from 36 hours prior to the flight, but not for the first leg, strange.
And also strange it is that the fare with the second and third  leg stand alone is close to similar to all three legs together. Who pay´s the taxes?.
Ok, we have an Opodo.de confirmation, the fare per leg is 150.00 Euro´s. And oh, a miracle, exactly when I try to Check-In for the first leg at the airports SSK it works and the machine presents also the boarding papers for leg two and three.
Well, no seat change possible, ok, that´s the joy of flying different airlines and aircraft on one confirmation.
For a view to the screen as usual, isn´t it?.
No info 30 minutes prior to scheduled arrival, good or bad?.
But 55 minutes turnaround time seems like ok for an ontime departure from gate 162 later on at rainy 4 degrees


Just a swift view for the Star Lounge and down the well known stairs for the bus gates. Where soon thereafter the bus drives around the rainy apron


Ahem, not that "Berchtesgaden", D-ACPS is well known to me. No way, never ever.
Well, it´s the CR7 like on schedule, leg no. 14 on type and the last experience on this type was just a few weeks ago on this very same machine, twice logged by now.
In the air with LHCityline and nothing else since 03.05.2003.
17 examples are in the fleet and there are no incidents to show here


Well, boarding anyway or should I complain?. No, there are higher goals today!


Cockpit crew is from Germany. The "Kapitän" with a nice welcome on the ground.
No route or flightlevel info.
12.55 am, what feels like ontime, "Hansaline or also Lufthansa" for 25 minutes ex "Flughafen Stuttgart´s" runway "Two-Five".
Some seat details, dark grey leather, good legroom, clean   so far and the safety card.
The load is 80%, mostly biz like looking pax with me in 20A, the last row window and two for me


Cabin crew is two women, one elder with a nice welcome at the planes door earlier and the other middle aged, nice, large, black hair, a good impression by Cityline so far.
Yes, I´am heading east, but not for Russia and also not for Africa, at least not today!.
Chocolate and free drinks are on offer


But well, some sun sounds nice, maybe at my destination?


Safely arrived at the "Flughafen München - Franz Josef Strauss" and the 4000 meters "Two-Six-Right". 1.35 pm
and doubtless, the weather is much better here, the very same 4 degrees but no rain!



So we are in MUC. More to come?.
We will see!.
