Well, I left you rushing just a little late, the first time, the very first time for me to be honest, for this example of an Greece island airport terminal!


Where you park you´re heli just around the corner!

And where it is important to have a well working climatization also during the hot summer season!. Well, Athens is dominant on the screen.
But these service for SKG is also high on my special interest list


For the lounge or not is not a tough decision here with no lounge at all on offer!.
Collecting the boarding pass is a breeze and security, too.
Someone for Greek delights?. No, not me, definitely not!


OLCI works also well for this service, 48 hours in advance, fixed at the Olympic website and the fare is 65.00 Euro´s.
The seatmap shows what I´am looking for and the apron, too.
Simply lovely


This is SX-OBE, no individual name to notice, an Dash 8-400.
New to the log and leg. no 39 on type


And the sun is shining through the clouds


Yes, that´s what I´am looking for, definitely


Should I try something like under the wing, you know?


The plane is in service since 17.06.2010, 10 400´s are in the actual fleet. There are no stories to show here


And also this time, if I like it or not, I should leave these island right now


10.50 am, as ontime as possible, "Olympic", the rings and me are on the way for the 30 minutes from the massive 1511 meters runway "One-Nine". Partly cloudy and 15 degrees at the "Chios Island National Airport
Κρατικός Αερολιμένας Χίου".
Up for some nice views


Cabin crew is two women, one middle aged, not that large, brown  hair, nice, one younger, cute, large slim, brown hair with a really nice welcome, really nice talking on the way and believe it or not, really nice at all, you know!.
Service is snack and free drinks.
Till the blue


Huge mountains around


The load is 60%, 21 D, the last row window and two for me.
The cabin fitted with dark blue, well used leather seats, legroom is ok and just some lonely, so lonely like me, at least here in the last row today, islands down there


Blue till the end and the safety card


Cockpit crew is from Greece, the "Kapetanios" with detailed informations inflight.
On air, well, why not?


Give me the Olympic anyday!


A choco croissant close to the Greek mainland!


Athens on finals


Above the blue water


3800 meters or runway "Two-One-Right" and I´am back at the
"Athens International Airport
Eleftherios Venizelos
Διεθνής Αερολιμένας Αθηνών
"Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος".
11.25 am, Greek punctuality, ten minutes ahead to schedule, 18 degrees and sunny it is.
Bye now to the rings and welcome to the green!


Under the wing, you know and this is necessary!


The final shot

By bus for the terminal and now I know the procedures, at least I hope so!.

Back in Athens, and now?.
