Well, this is the second part of my FR, the return flight from Stockholm to Barcelona. Today we'll be flying during the night so I have not so good pictures, sorry!
After a week in Sweden It was time to go back home, to a warmer place. I had some nice days to relax. I went to the airport with the Arlanda Express, which is the best option if you have a discount, so is much cheaper than the bus.

I checked my bag quite fast as I was one of the first in the row, so soon I passed the security control and I passed throught the Air zone.

Boarding was a chaos because the plane was full and there was a group of students from Zaragoza which I had quite close during all the flight. They were quite noisy during the flight, even the cabin crew advertised them.

Again, safety video was played and pushback made. Sun was about to set soon.

Views during take off were quite nice. Stockholm in the background.


Again, an hour after take off, service was offered. Today It was quite slow because of the full flight. The same menu as in the inbound flight, same price. 10€

I have no more pictures from the flight as it was completely dark outside, but today we were flying over the south of Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and France before our approach in Barcelona.
Descent started in the Gulf of Lion, where the flight was shaking quite hard for a few minutes. It's usually a windy area here, I had the worst turbulence in my life some years ago coming from Vietnam. Things calmed down and soon we were approaching to Barcelona.

Today we'll be landing from runway 02, coming from the sea. This was because the normal runway was being repared and during some days it was closed. So we overflow Sabadell and went to Barcelona before heading to the sea and after some minutes we turned around and made our final approach. Weather wasn't good. It was rain and cold, even for me it wasn't so hard after coming from Sweden :P.

We touched down after 3 hours and a few minutes of flight. After landing we went to a remote stand, which was quite strange for me after a flight with Vueling. In the terminal I picked up my bag and I went to take the bus back home.

    Hi thanks for sharing the return leg of your trip.
    It ssems that the flight was not as good as the inbound flight beaucouse of the noisy students and an average crew. I would have tried another menu even though this one looks good.
    See you soon for new reports.
