After security , i'am in main hall with all fids

4h de transit , should be quick , next step is to buy a sandwich , seat somewhere and upload my pixs


After this i can have a walk , then seat around gates D2/D3 in order to charge my phone
A new member of Cirque du Soleil ?

Lets see whos there



Oh , A3 just arrived

My pix was screwed because of this fuy's laptop , need to wait until he moves a bit then retry

No , not yet cause he decided to open his laptop wider
Time for boarding , gate D5
But before i have to pee


Stubborn as i am , i went back to finally catch this A3

Now , iam relieved so i can go to d5


Waiting in the line besides a group of young czechs

Today we will fly with an e190 , so for sure my D seat is a windows seat and pitch will be good

Get inside , very slow boarding



Thats the downside of e190s , the overhead bins are very small


And today i will be alone


A3 is there , ready to return to ATH . Weather in Kiev is awesome , i just hope its gonna be the same in Istanbul

As usual iam trying to find my luggage

Knowing how sub contractors in KBP are not very reliable so usually i dont check luggage or i dont put anything valuable/useful for my trips
AirArabia from/to SSJ

Over there Azerbaijan Airlines reminds me about GYD , and also since end 2016 it is possible to apply for evisa from internet

Also a windrose plane lost in KBP

Take off , sweet and long , as i like them



However its a little bit windy



Last eye contact with KBP


And now we can fly south-east, Ukraine ->BlackSea->Bosphorus->Istanbul


Endless sea of clouds !!!

Clouds above us

Here is our meal for today

In front of me , a girl from kazakhstan switched to full flat bed mode

Just by looking at clouds over the black sea make me think that weather wil not be great in Istanbul

Start our descent

And here we are
Atatürk from above

And we are not landing, so it mean traffic jam and we need to wait and turn around few more minutes


Galatasaray's stadium , former club of Didier Drogba and Wesley Snejder

10 miutes standby and we can land



.

Welcome to the main TK land



When they say its full , it is for sure

In this pix , you can see a line of 2/3 planes ready for landing after this one
Ohhh Air Moldova !!! And KIV is really close

Exit , e190 are wonderful while seated , however walking through them is a nightmare if you are tall


walk walk walk walk walk , you see me i be ……



.

Whats the new TV show to watch in Turkey ?

Passport control quite empty , lucky iam today


.

Number 9

I hope the new airport will not became a giant mall like in DXB

The world decided to meet in Atatürk

I have to walk and walk again


Finally my baby followed me , great !

Exit then metro


.

The end !!!
