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:

Here we are:

The last time I boarded a Cityline flight was more than 20 years ago :)

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:

Take off:

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.

Already very low:

Almost back home:

And landed!
