This story is dedicated to the two young women working the UIA cabin, so proud and enthusiastic
The trip in one word:
DIFFERENCES
"The city of Kiew itself and a closer view for "Міжнародний аеропорт Бориспіль" or also "Boryspil International Airport" is the theme around this story"
Добрий день, Good day, dear readers,
I´am in Kiew, Ukraine, three legs done yesterday inbound
and something more on set today like this:
Good to have this great tool ready:
http://www.gcmap.com/
Well, every good things come to an end.
Really, yes I mean this short night dreaming about Antonov´s, Tupolev´s and nice wo...., ahem places!.
Back to reality, breakfast is ready right now at the Raziotel Kiev and there are some more things to do today
For example a swift walk to "Boryspilska" and a metro ride till "Zoloti Vorota" and the "Golden Gate"
Not every parts of the city are refurbished
But this one is
The "St. Sophia Cathedral"
That looks like really eastern to me
Not to talk about Russia!
Further for the "St. Michael´s Golden-Domed Monastery"
Well, that fit´s
A cable car?. Yes, that´s definitely something for me!
Downwards it is
Take care, traffic on the way
And me, too
Are you sure?. This is not Russia?
"Poshtova Ploscha" absorbing me down and spits me out again at the "Maidan"
This looks like an abandoned coal combined heat and power station to me.
Ah, the RMT (Russian Mafia Transport) shuttle is ready!
The "National Art Museum" and some official building, well guarded
Top current stylish colours and equipment
Yeah, the sun is out!
The "Golden Gate" looks like also massive this way
And finally back for the "Zoloti Vorota" subway cathedral´s
Crossing the "Dnjepr"
This is not a small one, definitely, Europe´s third longest river
And finally back for the hotel
Definitely an recommendable place to stay
The very same way back for the airport, free of charge. Another young guy and an Korean made car, what works also well.

Certainly a modern place it is
Large and spacious
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!
Oh, yes, that´s the view I like!
The shiny gate area and the new one at the gate D01.
No lounge to use here for me
Well the Embraer is nice but the background is much nicer
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
UTair looks like also interesting and well flydubai, too
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
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
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
The modern style clean cabin and the good legroom
Safety and blue grey leather seat details
Up till the blue
Service and the well loaded cabin
Touchdown at the 2800 meters runway "Two-Nine".
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
LOT, the golden edition and bye now for UIA
Bye for now, more to come soon, hopefully.
