ARRIVING TO THE AIRPORT, NAVIGATING AT THE AIRPORT

So I arrived at the Kuressaare airport from my previous flight from Tallinn and now it is time to go and take some photos of my plane and then it is time to head back inside.

Now it is time to head back inside. 

After arriving entering to the airport I forget to take a picture and I went to the security control which was very fast. 

When I arrived at the waiting area, I had 2 minutes before boarding and I decided to go and visit the toilets first.

The arrivals area is on the other side of the airport. 

BOARDING

After that, it was my time to board and the gate agent scanned my boarding pass with the tablet. 

After that short 30-second walk to the plane.

And now it is time to go inside the plane and let's not forget the traditional fuselage shoot. 

After entering the plane I had very good and warm welcome from CC only member on that flight. That aircraft has normally a 2-2 configuration or on front 0-2 and back 2-0 but more about it on the end.


And my seat row 10C/D, the only thing that was waiting at my seat was seated that have seen some better days.. 

And again a lovely thing that is not a headrest.

TAXI, TAKE OFF, CLIMPING

Now it is time to taxi and I made some photos turning the taxi. 

After backtracking we stayed in one position for 5 minutes before we started the takeoff roll. 

As you can see there is a rain cloud coming towards us but luckily we took off before the rain's arrival (YAY).
