Yes, we are at "İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen
International Airport
Sabiha Gökçen Uluslararası Havalimanı" right now
where there is no airside connection between domestic arrivals and international departures possible.
Out for the public it is.
There is no OLCI with SunExpress on offer, so I should go out anyway.
The ticket is secured directly via the airlines website. The fare is 75.00 Euro´s.
Check-In is swiftly done, thanx god not that long at passport check and security and airside again soon thereafter


No lounge for me today and
just to see this one at Gate 202A. Sure, a couple of interesting destinations on the screen


This is TC-SNY, the 737-800 like on schedule and there is no individual name to notice.
Leg no. 78 on type, line no. 7, not bad, isn´t it?. In the air with Hapag-Lloyd since 29.12.1998,
spend some time with TuiFly, CanJet and airberlin and is logged here with an TXL-STR service by airberlin.
19 examples are in the fleet and this is the oldie!.
Another one without a story to show


Cockpit crew is from Turkey, the "Kaptan" with a short welcome during taxi.
No route or flightlevel info.
5.35 pm, 15 minutes late by "Sunexpress". 2.45 hours, departure ex runway "Zero-Six" like arrivals


Seat 5A and three for me till a young turkish woman decided to join me on the aisle seat, nice so far!.
The load is 90%, mostly locals nothing else expected.
Ok legroom and the safety card


Cabin crew is one young and ok male,
one middle aged dark blonde woman, ponytail, not that large, nice.
Another woman, younger, large, slim, ponytail black hair, nice
and one more younger woman, not that large, short black hair,
well, really nice!.
Cabin and seat details, blue grey leather modern style


Looks like interesting, isn´t it?


And welcome back to STR at "Zero-Seven".
7.30 pm, ten minutes late, 4 degrees and clear sky

The car is where it should be and
not that long thereafter at the homebase.

Yes, with a couple of conclusions!:

1.)AnadoluJet GNY-ESB: A comfy and nice experience.
2.)AnadoluJet ESB-SAW: Swift and nice staff.
3.)SunExpress SAW-STR: The sleepy late afternoon service.

And now the usual question for more, isn´t it?.

Sunny it is, nice it is and where should we go next?:



Güle güle, take care.
