Bonjour
One week after Ankara , Turkey again with the same airline but different destination : Istanbul
Since february i noticed that prices to IST dropped quite a lot , around half of normal prices
Simulation = 110€ , second half of february
Just to give you an idea about how crisis is really an issue , take a look at exchange rates of Turkish Liras
2010 -> 1eur = 2try
2017 -> 1eur = 4try
First i wanted to spend my 4days weekend there , but i had meetings so it will be shorter than planned . Two days are enough to do what i want and meet with friends

Left home , still night , night bus N32 , this bus pass every 30 minutes
10 mins later and iam in Chopin
No , sorry not AMS or CDG today so i need to walk further
Here is the correct area
Since few weeks , PS switched to Amadeus so such features like webcheckin and mobile BP are temporarly unavailable
It should be temporary , however how long ???, cause in 2017 its not acceptable
If i am late , i can't go to gate straight with my hand luggage by using my smartphone
Today everything under one booking , the guy managed to give me a windows seat for first segment , then in Kiev i will need to reach the transit desk and ask for next boarding pass
Saturday morning , crowded like hell , so no time to waste
My thoughts for paxs of this flight to VRN , who wasted their time and woked up for nothing
And i was right cause security checks are crowded in sector A/B
Here are the grandsons of Albert Einstein
By looking at them i guessed that they are turkish
One with a sweatshirt written TÜRKIYE on it and the other one has a TK's tag on his backpack
The first forgot his laptop in the bag and the second his
15 minutes later i'm free
Ah damn , i missed it
Unfortunately we are not the first flight of the schedule
No need for cash , last week in Ankara i withdrawed enough
Keep going
This one is not open yet
However this one is , definitely
And the winner is … ???
… Not me , i have to wait 3 minutes today
Most early morning flights are leaving from the non-schengen area
A stop to grab some snacks
Wow , 20 that's quite a lot !!!
This one will give many people new ideas of toys
Looks like the shuttle of Benoit75008 is on time today
Reached my gate
Boarding gate 8, our bird is a 737-800
Here we go !!!
Don't touch it 52 !! That's not a toy !!
Cabin looks nice and quite recent
This plane is from 2009 and belonged to ….. ryanair
Now it make sense
Safety instructions
De icing , so 15 minutes more
Everything is done , we can take off .
Finally , delay was only 10 minutes for my eastern shuttle
Few turbulences while flying through clouds then we reach the sky heading east towards the sun
Many people asked about service during PS flights , here it is
Isnt my glass cute ???
I missed the BoB
Start our descent over Zhytomyr
Closer to Boryspil , its a little but shaky because of wind
Quite hard landing today
As usual PS everywhere , absolutely everywhere
If i keep flying with them , i think in the end i will try all their B738
Turning left , so unboarding by paxbus
Getting fresh air is not bad during summer
Few minutes later we reach the transit area
Here is the self proclamed Director of this airport
The guy just left the crowd in order to take pixs with his camera
Few seconds later an agent bring him back to reality
Now the crowd separates into two parts , passeport control or transit
Mine is transit
Go straight and take the escalator
The end !
