Hi,

I had no luggage to check in and quickly I was airside in the small and boring section C of Terminal 1. At least some spotting was possible with an Emirates A380 being present.

Boarding started on time via a bus - unfortunately I could not get a proper outside picture of our A320.
Crew was friendly and the Economy cabin looked quite new and the seat was comfortable.

Great to have inseat entertainment on such a narrowbody.

Power outlets were also available:

Service started with hot towels being distributed on the ground - a great and extremely rare touch in Economy nowadays.

Next earphones and covid sanity kits were distributed.

We pushed back with a delay of ca. 1 hour without any explanation, a safety video followed and flight time was announced to take 5 hours.

We took off, passed the clouds and soon crossed the Alps.

Inflight service started with drinks where I also had Saudi coffee which was served with a nice date.

About 30 minutes later during final sunset a dinner was served with two different warm main choices: chicken or pasta.

I had the chicken with rice - all was fine without being anything extremely tasty.

More drinks were served with the meal.


A while after the trays were cleared, hot drinks were offered, nicely accompanied by a small chocolate.

We continued our journey in the dark skies, I watched some movies.

Around 1 hour before landing some snacks and fruits were offered from a basket to finish the service.
