We made our way to the F gates:



And it was with another pax bus :)

Today only the Gold side of the lounge is open.

And the food:

It's really decent and a nice change from the usual airport lounge food:



This lounge has a nice view over the tarmac:

back to our homes


My friend is leaving to GVA 5 minutes before me and since his gate is just next to mine we left together, same way :)

We used the travelator:

We said goodbye, wasn't too hard, as we knew we would see us again 5 days later :)

And boarding:

The door:

Another nice welcome but something will happen that will make me a bit grumpy.

The pitch:

Front view:

The boarding finished but there were still some hold luggage to load. The CC introduced herself to the guy sitting in 1A, offers him a bottle of water and asks if he needs something. He asked for a blanket and got two.
It was a delicate attention, but we were 4 passengers in business class and the loading took another 10 minutes but we were totally ignored.

The guy may have been a VIP or a HON member, but when you do this in front of the other passengers and do nothing for them, I think it doesn't give the right signal.

My friend's flight was supposed to leave 5 minutes before me, but eventually we left just before him!


Goodbye Vienna!

I am pleased to see another hot dish, the portions are still on the small side but it is tasty and really, really good:

Same ending as per the previous flight :)

And again, I felt asleep (being awake for most of the night before to watch the lights killed me ^^).  Just landed!

Leaving the plane:

At that time the vaccination certificate was still checked, but there was almost no wait:

For the return I elected to check my bag and had to wait for it, but it came in no time:

There is also a snack bar at the arrival level, you can snack while your children are playing :)

Conclusion

That last flight made its job, apart from the VVIP treatment the guy received aboard while we were just ignored. Not fair for us even if he might have deserved the treatment due to his status.

Otherwise all fine, nothing to say about the lounge, the airports, everything was more than OK.

Thanks for following this series, hope you liked it. I know its a bit strange to publish a series with snow in the middle of the summer, but here in Europe we are in the middle of a strong heatwave, it helped to cool down a bit!

Take care and stay tuned for another series :)
