Hey, dear reader,
less than two weeks after my return from Bornholm
is to fly it again for something more.
Here is the current route map:
reporter's trip flights on a larger map
Checked in for the first flight of the day, Lufthansa's service was 4780,
start at 06.55 clock on Contactair's Fokker 100 I on the evening before.
Lufthansa's website is easy to use and fast, a window in the rear of the cabin, not the last row on the Fokker 100, for me.
boarding time is 06.25 clock and I, with the goal as late as possible to be at the airport, my phone turn sharply to 04.15 clock.
It works and I'm in the P2, park my car at 06.00 clock.
A new SMS on the phone so early in the morning, we want to see what it is!
Very well, or not good, now there is no Contact Fokker 100 for me.
My path in such situations, do not panic, but quickly respond.
I go to the terminal and call it the number of Lufthansa. In
A nice plate on the other side.
And as always, I am preparing my best-case option.
I explain to him that British Airways also flies to London Heathrow,
virtually the same time.
"Sorry, but there are no relations between Lufthansa and British Airways, it is not possible to rebook you on it" is his answer.
We further hold that the arguments back and forth, I'm close to the Lufthansa Frequent Traveller status, many Star Alilance flights in recent times and so on.
He replied: "I have the British Airways check now, there is still a very small number of free seats, I block one for you, but you should to the Lufthansa ticket will switch it's the decision of the station manager and then even more so. . Ticket rewrite
Now that I have already
five or six employees at work, a good number of waiting passengers to follow very interesting what is offered.
German Wings to Stansted, no question, a Lufthansa subsidiary, and LH compounds via Frankfurt and Dusseldorf.
heard nothing from British Airways.
A nice employee approached me waving, I tell her about my phone call, they takes my boarding pass and go to the back area.
A minute later she's back, it's ok, and works on her computer.
No luggage will help here again.
"technology", I ask.
"Yes, technology," she replies. Exp
makes the business today around 60.00 €'s around me is a good number of passengers who look as if they have paid considerably more for the ticket than I am.
We should be quick and check-in for BA ends in a few minutes.
around the corner to British Airways, no other passengers more, but a friendly employee who actually still looking for my frequent flyer number in the system and check in me. No
free Fesnsterplätze more, but 22D, the aisle seat in the back row is also OK.
This is also the only chance my next flight to London to get.
A Star Alliance flight less now on his way to 30 in order to reach the Frequent Traveller status.
What we have today on the plan?.
A new airport, a meeting with an acquaintance from southern Sweden and very interesting aircraft.
How about a cockpit-generation comparison?.
This is flight No.2

Lufthansa uses Terminal 1, departure for the next flight from Terminal 3, just next to it.

He then comes on later in the evening.
I take the next ICE to Stuttgart, the train from London is a few minutes late, thanks to the German track, something I usually do not like, but this fits perfectly today.
I'm going down the escalator and the train arrives a minute wait time in Mannheim and then with the next S-Bahn, exit in a minute, for the main station in Stuttgart-Airport, time enough for me.
