Pre Flight @ HAM

HAM airport was pretty crowded that day because school holidays started in Hamburg - therefore lots of families were on their way into holidays.
The flight to FRA was also well booked, I did not see any empty seats.

HAM Airport after the security checks.


Here was my aircraft for the flight to FRA.


She was parked right next to Emirates B777!


Some departure action.

Flight LH023

Boarding started 5 minutes late and took a while.
As my seat was on the right side I had a great view to EK B777.


After some time we were pushed back and taxied to the runway.
Perfect weather that day in Hamburg, but still bloody cold!!

Bye bye see ya!


Germania and Germanwings at a remote gate.


I caught that departure by surprise!
Maybe someone can name the aircraft type^^


Swiss was also in line after us - but Eurowings departed first.


Then it was our turn and we powered away!
Wonderful aerial view of EK B777!! And of course of HAM in the background ;)


The weather in Hamburg was great during these two days.
But as we headed south it got more and more cloudy.


Cabin view.


Descent into FRA!


Landing @ FRA - uneventful.


Lufthansa Cargo MD11!


Korean Air!


Etihad Airways!


Lufthansa!


Finally at the gate next to a LH B747-4 :)

Post Flight @ FRA

My connecting time for my flight to NUE was just 50 minutes.
As my flight from HAM had about 25 minutes delay I had to hurry to get my next flight.
Stupidly my flight from HAM arrived at the A Gates and my flight to NUE departed from the B Gates.
When you have been to FRA, you might know that the way from A Gates to B Gates takes quite some time - it was time to run!
Thankfully I reached my B Gate in time and the last bus to the remote gate for LH148.


Thanks for spending your time and reading :)
