Review of Azul flight from Belo Horizonte to Manaus in Economy

tudo bem

Hello everyone!

Today I found some of my very old pictures of 2016, a period when I was travelling loads but unfortunately a time when I took less pictures.

The idea of this trip was to follow my partner at the time- as he was working from "home". Yes I know, before covid and back then it was the only person I knew that had such freedom.  

Azul isn't part of any alliances so I didn't bother claiming miles for this flight.

I was pleasantely surprised by Azul, it was offering flight that were really cheap to reach manaus. I thinkit was cheap because:
A. It was in the middle of the night (3AM)
B. There was a stop a Belo Horizonte, one of the airline's hubs. 

The E190 has very much a standard cabin of 96 seats.

at Belo Horizonte - confins - International Airport

I left you on the previous FR at the airport, a bit tired I must say - it was the first time I was flying at 3am and really it isn't a pleasant experience…

There was a lot of airport, clearly Belo Horizonte is a hub, not so much a very turisty destination. 

A bit of spotting… Not that much divesity… Luckily this E190 was with the olympic games livery.

I recall the boarding happened in a very messy way to say the least.

onboard the e190

The cabin is very spacious, the seat re quite confortable - I found the seats that I first experienced on Aerolineas Argentinas: reclining, equipped with IFE and thick leather.

Push back next to a twin plane…

speaking of IFE, here it is..

Followed by the service… A lot of Azul branded unhealthy snacks but still better than nothing!

Time for the flight magazine review.

And an advert for the city I was flying from!

The "new" J cabin seems great! 

The destination on the continent.. very impressive.

The approach started onto cloudy amazon…

at manaus - Eduardo Gomes International Airport

The final above the amazonian forest is impressive

Finally arriving at our parking stand

Next to this oldie of A332, I didn't remember Latam had some of these units.

Manaus isn't the most impressive town, but still it has some interesting buildings…

We went directly to a very vvery small village deep in the forest for some nature exploration..
