Finished off my highlife cafe sampling with the ‘when in Rome’ Pinot Grigio and although nothing outstanding I’d be happy to drink it again.




Excellent flight across the board. Crew were great, seat was as good as CE, food and drink were more than adequate. The middle empty seat made it perfect. Maybe next year I need to do a few more Euro Traveller flights and see if this is the norm or an exception.

I love Bucharest arrivals. From stepping off the plane to standing on the pavement outside it was less than 10 minutes. That’s probably the best time achievable for a LHR arrival as it is quite a long walk with multiple travelators along the route but I don’t think it has ever topped 20 minutes.

Caught the driver by surprise because he was tracking the flight and still 5 minutes out from the airport when I hit kerbside. that was fine, no issues for me watching the the world go by for a few minutes.

The drive to the Radisson was roughly 30 minutes through some quite heavy traffic which my driver said was typical for a Friday afternoon.

Weather here in Bucharest is overcast and warm, a definite step up from rainy Newcastle so hopefully that holds for the weekend, not checked the forecast yet.

Time to check in and see what room type I’ve got for this weekend
