Hi everybody !

I arrive today 4h before my flight ! Not because I'm terribly impatient to take the plane but because of my school who did one and only transfert to the airport. So I have left the school early this morning (at 8:00) and have waiting during a long time in an empty school with some other students.
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 ;)

  • 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 !
