In the end we were off the ground 20 minutes behind schedule. It didn’t take long for the seatbelt light to come off and there was a massive exodus to the toilet. I think a lot of the passengers have been indulging nicely in Newcastle Airport

The trolley service was quite unusual in that there were three of them running the trolleys one from the front one, from the back, and one down the middle. Here is a look at the menus.











This is my first time on Eurowings and so I had to give the food a try and I really couldn’t resist the currywurst. There was an offer in the menu to accompany that with some chips and a beer so of course why not? As I ordered the currwurst the crew member serving me said that would be about 20 minutes for the chips so I might be eating them on descent - that will be a first.

Whilst waiting for the snack to arrive, I was paging through the Wings in-flight magazine and I was really surprised to see how extensive the Eurowings network is




The crewmember wasn’t wrong about eating on descent, no sooner had my food arrived than there was a double ding and seatbelt lights came on. To the crews credit, they didn’t harass me at all to finish the food.





For chips in the air these were pretty decent, they were crispy and fluffy. The curry turkey sausage was okay, the curry sauce actually had some bite to it. I thought it was a bit bland when I started, but once I’ve finished eating I realised there was a decently tingly aftertaste. I’d order that one again. The only negative in the whole on board catering was the beer which was warm and so I couldn’t really tell you whether it was good or bad.

Whatever delay we picked up in Newcastle, we managed to catch up on in the air and it looks like we’re gonna have a nicely on time arrival in Düsseldorf. My impressions from my first flight on Eurowings? Actually I thought it was enjoyable flying. With the exit row, the empty seat beside me, fast track lounge access, and group 1 boarding, all in all I couldn’t tell you the difference between this and BA apart from Eurowings have better food on the BoB trolley! I suspect it might be a slightly different experience if I didn’t have the senator status. The crew were friendly and smiling and the service was efficient. 8/10 (warm beers is a crime, I’m being a little generous )
On the ground exactly on time and a short taxi to the gate. And everyone is up before the seatbelt light is off <sigh>
