Departure from Abu Dhabi by bus , the RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) of Dubai created two lines between Dubai/Abu Dhabi , i was even able to top-up my NolCard in Abu Dhabi while doing shopping
Two hours later we arrive in city center of dubai , on the way we passed close to AUH (next time for sure) and DWC

Let's get ready to rumble

Then take the metro for 30 minutes

Checkin super quick , almost no one


photo dsc02665photo dsc02667photo dsc02669

But the checkin area of terminal T1 is a real souk/mess , spicejet and the indian style, SU to SVO and KQ to NBO with pax loaded like camels

Once done , time to clear immigration.
It's like a human version of this famous nokia's game , the snake (ok it doesn't belong to Nokia but became pretty famous because it was installed on their phones)
I've never seen a queue so huge and so fast , it's amazing how i can't even find time to stop and pack/unpack my stuffs

Security


photo dsc02678photo dsc02679photo dsc02680

After 10 minutes of immigration/security , i have 10 more of walking



And i arrived …. in the mall , because dxb is more a shopping mall than an airport


photo dsc02693photo dsc02694photo dsc02695

Few services for passengers but 97694 shops and restaurants


photo dsc02699photo dsc02700

Wanted to try a lounge , ahlan or marhaba , but i changed my mine , i will do it in 2017


photo dsc02703photo dsc02701photo dsc02698

Boarding at gate d19 , next to us are CZ to Hangzhou and AF to Paris



Boarding started and as expected from dnata it was a big mess



Business cabin then economy


photo dsc02720photo dsc02722

Short taxing and take off , bye bye uae , see you in 2017



ife is the same as AF , only differences are graphic interface and content
I had fun watching Russian and Dutch movies , and now i want to learn dutch cause it seems funny !


photo dsc02733photo dsc02734

This KL version is set to auto-sleep , i guess it's because of time , because on the AF flight it was not
Pitch is correct


photo dsc02726

This bag bring me memories and suggest me some new destinations


photo dsc02727

Food : that's all for today , a wrap


photo dsc02748

Breakfast one hour before landing in Amsterdam


photo dsc02753

Still night in Europe


photo dsc02756

The end is close , we start our descent


photo dsc02754photo dsc02757

Landing in Schiphol

Leaving the aircraft


photo dsc02773photo dsc02775photo dsc02777

Oh , at least one folk is really happy and excited today , i don't know why !


photo dsc02778

On the way to immigration then the transfer hall


photo dsc02782photo dsc02784

Here we are , not so crowded for a Thursday morning

And that's the conclusion of this red-eye flight
The end of this report in the next and last segment of this trip
