Down under for me now this way


The fare with this leg is 45.00 Euro´s secured by Opodo.
4 legs by 3 airlines on the confirmation.
OLCI doesn´t work with this strange kind of ticket.
Not the best thing with an intra security arrival and I don´t like to go out for the desks.
Well, nice service here like the last time.
The young woman at the gate can´t print a boarding pass, but called a colleague at the check-in desks to produce me the missing paper.
He should be here later to help her with the gate work.
And not that long thereafter my BP arrived the personal way, well done.
For Bruselas maybe from D66!



So, this is OO-SSR, the A319 like on schedule, names please!.
Leg no. 104 on type and new to the log it is.
A former Mexicana machine, in the air since 01.06.2010 and the latest plane from the 18 in the fleet.
And there is also a story to show here:

No China for me today and no lounge used here, too


12.10 am, ontime, "B-Line" and me leaving the
 "Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas" for 1.50 hours from the 3500 meters "One-Four-Left".
14 degrees, partly cloudy and windy it is.
Looks like good this way


"The Pilot" sounds more from England than really from Belgium, with a nice welcome during taxi in english only.
Once again in english only with weather details,
a storm front approaching Belgium but if nothing turns wrong we should be faster and reaching Brussels prior to the storm. Some turbulence is nevertheless expected during approach.
And once again exactly with the expected shakers on finals.
No route details at all.
The modern style cabin with the blue leather seats and it´s clean so far


The load is around 90%, biz and vacationeers well mixed.
Legroom is ok here at 23D, the last row, where the middle seat remains open and the window is taken


Cabin crew is all female, one senior and nice, one middle aged and nice, too.
And another one, middle aged, not that large, not that slim, well built to say it correct, ever smiling and really nice.
Well, I know some cool guys from Belgium, Nils, Marc?


Something to eat or drink?


The "Luchthaven Brussel-Nationaal" it is, after a short or maybe not that short nap and an heavy approach. Not sure if we or the storm was faster in the end


Touchdown at the 3638 meters "Two-Five-Right", 2.20 pm, ten minutes ahead to schedule, 7 degrees, cloudy and heavy rain.
Bye now for Brussels Airlines


No Alitalia for me, no, but the lounge, the SN Star lounge, yes



Made it to BRU. And the final leg?.
Well, we will see!.
