After spotting the "busy" lunchtime rush, I paid 115SEK (£9.50p) for a return ticket to Gothenburg on the bus to see some of the central town before leaving.

I got to Gothenburg and took some images around the city centre. Quite a few nice buildings stood around the city.



After 3 hours, I went back to the Bus Terminal and went back to GOT Landvetter Airport to go through security and await my Ryanair flight home.

As soon as I got through Airside and Duty Free I found a massive glass window which allowed me to sit down, sort out the paper-work for my flight home, and most importantly- Photograph the aircraft outside awaiting their onward journey.



I walked to Gate 21, where my flight was scheduled to be and I quickly grabbed a subtle image of the entrance to the SAS/Star Alliance lounge at GOT.

I got to the gate and waited for my Ryanair 737. In the mean time a few aircraft of interest showed up…

Pretty much on schedule (if not a few minutes early) was Boeing 737-8AS(WL) of Ryanair. It looked familiar… It was EI-EMF again- to take me back to London Stansted.

After a wait of around 45 minutes, it was boarding time. I waited until the very (or near) end. My seat this time was in Row 30, so I was pretty much in the last 5 rows of the Boeing. As boarding commenced- I grabbed some images while boarding, as well as an image of the Turkish Boeing 737 next to my Ryanair 737.



Our flight pushed back and departed pretty much on schedule and we quickly climbed out through the clouds en route for London. After getting to our cruising altitude, I got some pictures of our plane cruising through the evening sunset.

For 4EUR (£2.75p) I paid for an Orange Juice and a Bueno Kinder bar. I grabbed a shot of the cabin from the galley before spending part of the flight asleep.



After a pretty standard flight, we returned to London Stansted. I got of the plan near the end as is normal for me. But the worst part of this trip came when I ended up waiting a good 30 minutes for passport control as well as being charged a good £22 for getting the train from London Stansted to Burnham. The train journey was nearly 3 hours for me.

Other than that. The flight and trip itself went pretty well.

Conclusion

Ryanair- Fantastic flight, great value for money on this trip.

Gothenburg Landvetter- Nice airport, really well maintained and the staff were friendly.

London Stansted- Nice airport in general. Despite the long que at passport control- this is common at pretty much most London Airports. I am pretty confident in say that I will never train between my home and London Stansted. I will leave it to the coaches or a personal vehicle.

    Nice plane spotting despite the relatively adverse lighting conditions.
    I was puzzled by the 757 bearing the name of the Sevilla Football Club : she belongs to Privilege Style, a Spanish charter operator which has operated flights for Spanish football clubs.
    Nothing much to be said about the flight itself.
    Thanks for sharing !
