Airplanes

You should have taken the morning flight, the small Lufthansa Embraer is more fun compared to the Airbus

Did you spot any nice planes in MUC? A very nice airport btw...

Unfortunately the flights were fixed by the company.

Btw I saw some big fishes (A330, A340, Dreamliner), but had no time to take a photo, 'cause my boss kept me in discussion about the case (even while travelling back to Budapest).

Next time we will go by car...

Western europe

Did you enjoy the flight?

BUD ---> MUC was fine, but MUC ---> BUD seemed to be my worst flight ever: very steep take-off (causing strong headache), minor (?) turbulence problems, harsh landing.

Well its Iberia, but I did hehe. Then the 5th nov I flew to paris in a small boeing I guess, from iberia too.

AN-124 left from 13L, just as usual... why this direction again??? (I know, the wind, but still... take-off from direction 31 is more common in Budapest)

DHL's A300-600 is fuckin' loud... (just flying over me)

Wrong. It was renato's indy flying over you

According to Flightradar24, it was slower than 245 mph.

Had my first A380 flight - it is spacy, huge and overall very pleasant. But it feels not like flying a plane. You can hardly notice takeoff.

Akoss said more or less the same after his American trip.

Yesterday's specialities: B777, TU-204 (both are rare guests in Hungary).

Yesterday I was flying with an unusual jet plane, Embraer ERJ 145. Definitely not a giant with 47 seats! I had my quickest takeoff ever (needed <1000 m for accelerating), and than a very bumpy flight at cruising altitude.

I love small planes! Must have been fun!

My next flight will be to Bangalore via Delhi the first week of March.
New plane on my list: The 787 Dreamliner, 3 times from the 4 flights. Looking forward to it though i have heard lots of negative feedback. My flight back to Shanghai is daytime, so I have booked a seat next to the window hoping to catch a glimpse of the Himalayas.

The best of them is that you can take a nap and you wake up when it arrives

My trip was delayed to early April and I fly with a different company, so no Dreamliner
On the other hand, I will fly with Malaysia Airlines, one of the few 5-star rated companies and transfer in Kuala Lumpur so will improve my southern coordinate record even more than expected Maybe I could say hi to Charles and fetch those missing scoreboards
