Hi everybody !
After 15 days with my english family, it's time to go back. :)

At the time I just need to drop off my bag but I decide to eat before, to spend my last pieces. A panini, an ice tea and a cookie will be enough. Yummi yummi ! :)
Three hours before the flight, I decide to drop off my bag in the AF/KLM counters and print my boarding pass.
A school staff is following me and asks me why I'm taking a lot of pictures. I explain the Flight Report concept and he looks interested.
Few minutes later, I leave my suitcase and as last year, my flight doesn't get a gate yet.
I leave the landside to the airside and discover the new electronic passeport control. So no stamp today ! :(
There is a lot of people at the security and I have to wait 30 minutes !!
A stamp station for Flyingjapans ;)
The terminal 4 whose get nice colors, in my opinion.
This terminal is very spotter-friendly ! One of the best for that ! Let the game begin :p

A 767 Delta is pushing-back.
Some lounges.

A China Southern is arriving.
A318 TAROM from romania.
One hour before the flight I receive a sms from Air France. It notice that my flight is delayed. Air France is very reactive !
A340 Kuwait
At 16:20 my plane is landed. This is an A321 with the new colors.
Landing of a A380 Malaysia Airlines.
The flight is finaly called, and I have to go to the gate.
I could become claustrophobic with these corridors ! ^^
B767 AeroMexico
My plane plane at his gate.
B777 Air Newzealand.
The crew is late but continue to talk …
The flight was expected at 16:00 then 16:30 and it's now 16:40 … There is many people waiting so I'm gonna seat in front of a window and continue the spotting.
B747 Virgin ;)
B77F, this is my favorite picture ! :D
747 land.
At 17:15 the boarding begin. The choice of different available newspapers.
THE pitch.
We push back 20 minutes later.
Off we go ! :)
London Heathrow.
We leave the GB.
The winglet.
Few minutes after takeoff, the flight attendants begin the service.
Descent.
Smooth landing at 19:35 local time.
During the taxi, I see this B787 Air India.
Final stand 5 minutes later because of the very short taxi.
Stamps of the day :p
I'll wait my bag during 20 minutes before leaving CDG.
Thanks for reading me ! :)
Thanks for this good FR with beautiful pictures ! :)
Thank you for this FR with great spotting ;)
The Tarom plane is in fact an A318 I think !
Thanks for this FR . Seing the picture of the crew there was an issue that had to be solved before taking off ! this explains the late departure ! too bad that you did not benefit from the lounge as it is according to me one of the best for skyteam with a nice decor and plenty of food and drinks !
Thanks for sharing! Amazing spotting as always; really very good! I agree with SKYTEAMMATEO, The SkyTeam lounge at LHR is the absolute best ST lounge I've been to. I believe that non-Elite pax can now purchase day passes to the lounges, but maybe that's Only AF and DL specific lounges.
Thanks for this amazing report Biaman94 !
