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. 


Waiting area.

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..

Conclusion

First off, in every plane there is some sort of entertainment, for me, it is watching out from a window and offering candy as some sort of meal/catering service.

Nyxair: Good airline but seats can be newer or seat maintence.
URE: Defenetly will visit again
TLL: Home airport so good service as always.
