And lucky me, as scheduled,
"Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Luchthaven Schiphol" it is once again for the last leg of the trip. And this is also the second leg on the Opodo confirmation, the fare is 55.00 Euro´s.
OLCI works well also this time.
The lounge?. Joke!.
What about this one.
Strange, isn´t it?. With all these
hustle and bustle, I´am doing pictures, but well that´s Tripreporter´s way to calm down!


This is an old friend here,
PH-EZA, the one without an individual name, an Embraer 190.
Leg no. 30 on type and certainly nothing new to me, done on AMS-STR twice before


In the air with KLC since 08.11.2008, the first delivery from the 28 in the fleet.
Here are some stories:

Ok there is in most cases the one and last pax to board a plane, isn´t it?. And just by coincidence this is never ever me!


Cabin crew is one elder female FA, ok and one younger, large, blonde, well built, no this is not a stereotype, woman, with a really nice touch.
Cockpit crew is from the Netherlands, the "Kapitein" with a nice and detailed welcome during taxi and in the very same style once again during approach. The routing is via FRA at 39000 feet.
4.30 pm, as usual in such cases, perfectly ontime, 1.00 hours to go from the 3400 meters "One-Eight-Left". "City", the classic callsign, leaving 7 wet degrees.
Just to see the clouds from above


The cabin fitted with dark blue leather seats, ok legroom and clean so far.
The load is 90%, lots of biz travellers today.
26F, the last row window, two for me and while I´am working my best dutch knowledge a visit from the nice young FA from time to time!.
The safety card and WOW, another issue


Do you imagine how a well loaded plane of Gouda crumbles cheese biscuits smells?.
Well, if you don´t like cheese, it´s better to take the parachute now and leave this place immediatelly!

But lucky me, I like dutch Gouda cheese!.
STR welcomes me not that long thereafter at runway "Two-Five".
5.30 pm, 15 minutes ahead to schedule, 2 degrees and snow showers, shudder.
But well, no more shudders, disembarking takes ages, in fact all the other pax are gone and I´am still learning more words in dutch.
Well, nice staff here, especially these young wo...., ok nice staff here by KLC!.
But anyway these young woman from Swiss impressed me yesterday and she is just somewhat higher on my wish list, you know!.
The car is where it supposed to be and also the homebase welcomes me back not that long thereafter!.

Here are the conclusions:

1.)Swiftair OVD-MAD: Comfy and really nice crew as it should be.
2.)KLM MAD-AMS: Done, that counts.
3.)KLC AMS-STR: Supernice and talkative staff here.

And here is also a view for the upcoming story.
Well, Turkey maybe on Turkish airlines?.
Southeastern Anatolia as far as 10 kilometers from the Syrian border for a place where a lot of people have never heard of it, me included prior to the preparations, but it´s the fifth most important place in the islamic world and more than 800000 inhabitants call it home:



Adiós por ahora, take care.
The Tripreporter.
