Bonjour, dear reader,
father and son want to do every year or two trips together.

offer
The major airline alliances good choices of the types of aircraft on our route.
The decision to Skyteam, with the main reason for the return flight is swift, more on that later.
KLM wins our business with that in terms of fees and charges, best offer.
four flights booked together for both of us, that means 130.00 Euro's each way, reserved three months in advance.
It is also possible to select the seats on the long-haul and switch on the KLM website.
My status during booking, Silver Elite and this also brings us the opportunity to choose places that are not offered for non-status passengers.
Online check-in works perfectly on the KLM website, some 22 E / F for us, the last row window.
No expression at home, we have the luggage at the airport and leave the pick up boarding passes there.
04.15 clock is set for the cell phone alarm to clock 06.00 at the airport, no parking problems today, my wife drives us.
Luggage is delivered in a minute on the business desk, printed out the boarding passes and without going through the security checkpoint in Terminal 3 waiting time.
Here's a first look at the screen, Air France provides on time from Gate 310
The machine at the gate seen from the ground floor, night stop in Stuttgart
It's F-GUGR, the Airbus A318 as in the flight plan, the latest of 18 in the Air France fleet, delivered the 22/02/2007.
Flight No. 8 for me to remember this type, and a new registration
someone at this grating sound when the pilots to test the flaps?. We hear that for ten minutes after boarding, until the pilot logs, and reports of a problem.
The electronics will be restarted in order to solve the problem. This works, no other noises.
Comfort in the last row is ok with the open aisle seat, the seat back is adjustable
A nice gesture, the purser gave each passenger on the aircraft door refreshment towels.
We take the path 25 without stopping, it is 07.25 clock, almost on time, cloudy at 18 degrees.

We left Europe for a few days, 7 hours now to Canada
Air France and the slender-security cards, free headphones on each seat

Well, a good friend described me as a careful eater, this is definitely the case, both the chicken and the fish are not more of our personal favorites.
But the rolls, we had several of these, the Camembert cheese and the apple pie, very good.

ie, that we far too early for the acquisition of our rental car.
This book is about Traveljigsaw / Traveljigsaw, the car is from Thrifty, 210.00 €'s ok so far.
some negotiations with the employee, we get the car immediately and have the opportunity to return to the originally scheduled time, without additional payment, very good.

from price / performance point of view ok during the summer holiday season.
