CLERMONT - LYON: The last one



Introduction

Yes but here in January 2017 the direction of hop decides to close the line for lack of profitability. The CEO of Flykiss then proposes to resume the line, business to follow …

At Lyon-st-exupéry



Let's start at the beginning, I'm coming aboard the Hop F-HAPL ATR 72-500 all white from metz on time. The connection to Lyon 2 is very simple, just follow the signs and in 5 minutes you are in front of the other plane!

And here is my Embraer 145: "F-GUBC",15 years old. Boarding is launched on time and priorities are respected. You can leave your suitcase at the foot of the plane if it is too big

Well, let's go for the taxi, and now a bit of spooting before taking off (excuse me for the average qualities of some photos due to the darkness).

And then it's our turn: take off at the airport on time, direction: 170 km away.




Let's discover the plane:
First of all, the space between the seats: very correct for a flight time like this one but a bit just for a longer flight. For information, I measure 1 meter and 60 centimeters

The contents of the wallet are classic: the safety card, in case or as well as the magazine of "air France".

And now it's the time for the snack: classic on "air france": water or orange juice and sweet biscuits.

And landing on time at CFE, welcome auvergne!




The disembarkation was rapid because of the limited number of passengers. Did I take a picture of my seat.
