Hello everyone!

Today I found some of my very old pictures of 2016, a period when I was travelling loads but unfortunately a time when I took less pictures.

The idea of this trip was to follow my partner at the time- as he was working from "home". Yes I know, before covid and back then it was the only person I knew that had such freedom.  


Azul isn't part of any alliances so I didn't bother claiming miles for this flight.

I was pleasantely surprised by Azul, it was offering flight that were really cheap to reach manaus. I thinkit was cheap because:
A. It was in the middle of the night (3AM)
B. There was a stop a Belo Horizonte, one of the airline's hubs.

The E190 has very much a standard cabin of 96 seats.

I left you on the previous FR at the airport, a bit tired I must say - it was the first time I was flying at 3am and really it isn't a pleasant experience…

There was a lot of airport, clearly Belo Horizonte is a hub, not so much a very turisty destination.

A bit of spotting… Not that much divesity… Luckily this E190 was with the olympic games livery.

I recall the boarding happened in a very messy way to say the least.

The cabin is very spacious, the seat re quite confortable - I found the seats that I first experienced on Aerolineas Argentinas: reclining, equipped with IFE and thick leather.

Next to this oldie of A332, I didn't remember Latam had some of these units.

Manaus isn't the most impressive town, but still it has some interesting buildings…
