back in transit


As there were thunderstorms in the area, our flight was delayed by an hour. Shortly before the new departure time we went to our gate:

Still not arrived:

the flight


Boarding was a real mess, priorities were not really enforced, we had to make our way in front of the queue. Once in the buss there was a very long wait for passengers to board, since all documents were double checked at the gate. At least they sent two busses and social distanciation was not an issue.

The ride to the plane was pretty long:

The welcome was nice but not overall warm. Here's the CRJ900 cabin:

40 minutes to Basel expected today, the captain hopes to make up some of the delay, and to help with it, the runway is just next to our plane:

Still a few thunderstorms around:

The toilets were clean, but the seat cover were not at their designated storage area :(

A cold tray was served on this short hop:

Dried beef, a mushorrom, grilled vegetables together with two slices of chicken. The dessert was a vanilla cream over strawberries.

I just took a glass of water with it. The bread was not heated this time but given the duration of the time I wasn't expecting it either.

Everything was really good and I can say I enjoyed it. The flight was overall very pleasant and smooth.

Conclusion

Despite the small delay the flight was really enjoyable.
The meal was great given the short flight time. I was impressed.
Nothing to say about the airports and the lounge, all was nice.

Thank you for having followed me on this series, the next one to come shortly!

    Thanks for this great series of reports. Lufthansas SEN Lounge at A50 is quite a good lounge but since Covid there is no difference between the Business Lounges at Frankfurt and you can actually enter the SEN lounge with a Business Ticket only. That means that there is just restricted food-options, too, which is quite a pity though because offering only one warm option in a Senator Lounge is "whack". I love it how Lufthansa still provides the, mostly, tasty menues in Business on this ultra-short flights, unlike other Carriers (KLM, AF and BA) severely reduced their offerings.
    Stay safe :)
