View Single Post - To Ibiza with Condor

Soon thereafter, the meal service started. An FA asked me, "are you Mr. cockpitvisit?" After my decisive "Yes!" she gave me my premium meal. It was a cold breakfast tray with a fruit salad, a bread roll, a croissant, some salami, ham and cheese, a raspberry joghurt, cherry jam, a chocolate bar and an absolutely delicious brownie with walnuts. I ordered an OJ and a tea with lemon to go with the breakfast. The breakfast is OK but not great, since I am a sucker for fresh squeezed OJ and hot egg meals, and neither was available.

All passengers without premium meals preordered got sandwitches, this included my seat neighbours. They looked at my meal with envy, I am not sure they understood completely why this fat capitalist pig in the window seat got a much nicer breakfast than them. Social inequality at it's best - on a charter airline! Will economy passengers on the Airbus DO feel the same?

Breakfast over Switzerland

Meanwhile we were crossing Provence. Soon we crossed the Mediterranean coast over the Camargues nature reserve to the West of Marseille. The Med was first covered with clouds, but from the weather forecast, I knew that perfect sunny weather would await me in Ibiza. And even if not, the dark sand at the Cala Boix beach is warm even during cloudy days! It got a little bumpy afterwards. FAs made their rounds with boring "duty free" items.

Crossing the Mediterranean coast over Provence

Clouds and light turbulence ahead

Northeast corner of Mallorca, with Cap Formentor. There is a beaufitul 10-mile mountain road going there with nothing at the end but a huge traffic jam!

Palma de Mallorca

We started the descent while overflying Mallorca and after another 20 minutes or so landed at the Ibiza airport. A short bus ride to the terminal awaited us. After leaving the bus, I ran to the deserted Avis counter located in the baggage reclaim area to get my rental car. Baggage can wait, but the station can easily run of cars on this island! As I walked away, a queue of other passengers has already formed.
