No drama on the flight. Boarding started at the expected time and despite fairly full flight, it was only a small 175, so everybody was seated prior to departure time. Still we pushed about 10 minutes late due to traffic around us getting in the way.


This wetlease(?) Airbus was bound for Alicante

Fog was actually pretty bad, RVR getting as low as 225 meters had me worried for a second but it ended up not being an issue.

Minimal service on this flight, but give a coconut macaroon and I'm a happy man, so no complaints here.



26 minutes total in the air, I even managed to doze off for a couple of them.

Rather than being late, we ended up landing early. By the time of scheduled arrival, I am already in Crown Lounge.

As an aside, the area close to passport control is undergoing renovations at Schiphol. This is the new estabilishment open on Schengen side, roughly at the location of the old, I think it was called, Paleis? The big one anyway. Looks alright I think. I’ll give it a try one of these days.
