by they way let the ten new member say Hello and send them a warm welcome this way.
Well, back to the topic I booked the helvetic flight via internet 2 weeks ago because no suitable priced Swiss or OS tkt where left (and due to the special weekend and due to the facts that I have gotten a suitable fare with Sky Europe I decided to take them back) without any problems, printed out the Barbie colored confirmation sheet and left my working place in the middle of Vienna yesterday about 5 pm.
Took the underground to the train station Wien Mitte and due to the facts that I had plenty of time left I saved a few bucks and didn't take the City Airport Train - I took the normal (S7) instead and paid only 1.5 for the station Schwechat->Airport
.The train arrived Vienna International Airport on time and the check-in wasn't opened yet so I bought a salmon sandwich and a beer as well as a magazine ("Der Spiegel 1. Mai Das NEUE Europa") and a few minutes after I heard that the passport control area was closed due to unattantant luggage, which was taken away by the police (not bombed away by fireman like in DUS some years ago)
.Afterwards I Checked in and asked for the load factor - 20 noises for a Fokker 100
but the girl told me at sundays they are mostly full.And the "load factor" on Vienna airport was very, very good thursday afternoon - seems that many people fly home thursday evening instead of friday like I did mostly in my DUS times.
Passport control was done my a wink threw as well as no probs or queues at the security control (A gates but not by finger, downstairs by bus A11 in the middle between a flight to Timosoara as well as a Adria Airways flight to Ljubiljana). Boarding began 30 minutes prior to departures and you can estimate with 20 guys it was done very quick and so we spend some times in the plane because we didn't get an earlier slot than this one we claimed before or better the timetable said). The captain welcomed us personally onboard as well as 3 female crew members
and one of them controlled the boarding pass again - hey yopu cannot enter a wrong plane if you see this one !!!!
Engines where started on time and we taxied away
quick climbed into the mountains but with a bewautiful overview of europe during the whole flight

Afterwards they offered some snacks against a few bucks - I paid 6.50 EUR (oh my dear they had problems with EUR as well ....
)for two thon (thunfish) sandwiches and a *cat piss* Heineken
We flew over Munich and the captain announced that one the right hand we can see the city of Munich and that he had began his decent to Zurich.
Oh well, what a beautiful city all the lights and beautiful weather without any clouds a skyline pretty like never seen before - I tried to take a pic but unfortunatly it didn't work
Decent into ZRH was a bit tubulent but I felt two times asleep like a little child in it's baby-weighs
and Barbie find a new home - ZRH Airport

after us came another Helvetic plane and all others where still there 8)
entering the airport again per bus and passport control was quick but no wink threw and I reached the next train downtown Zurich and came to out flat in Spreitenbach 23:30 yesterday and slept today until half past 10
Other trip rep's will follow soon as well as my flight number 200 is coming sooner - well SNBA announces "180 ehrliche Euro" - on nearly every place in Vienna and there office is nearby my one downtown Vienna
Wish all a nice weekend
Jumbolino.
They claim to be low cost, but their fares aren't low at all
