SK593 CPH - BRU
MD90 LN-ROB
Yesterday I came back from CPH, the story and some pics attached
.
After having to queue for about 30' it was my tturn to check in. Very effeicient staff gave me seat 11F on the MD90, which was operatin this flight. After the check in trough to the security check, into the main terminal.
The main terminal has several lounges from where the aircraft can easily been seen.
The long check in had taken up all my free time, so it was a rush to gate A21, located at the other side of the airport. At the gate SAS MD90 LN-ROB was being boarded.
The plane was for 50% full, with ony 2 people in C class.
cabin seen from row 32F, on the flight from BRU->CPH
After engine startup, and taxi to 22R, there was a 10' wait at the holding due to 'traffic at bru'
SNBA RJ100 joinig race to BRU - think you cant beat an MD90
After 10' we took off, with an amazingly quiet but powerfull takeoff, which must be typical for an MD90.
Takeoff with Copenhagen city in background
Routing was Copenhagen - German border - Groningen - Amsterdam - Breda - Brussels
Some onroute pics:
Waddeneilanden
Afsluitdijk
Amsterdam
Service onboard was good, with a simple, but wel desserved breakfast. (Cheese roll, koffee, orange juice and yoghurt)
When arriving abeam amsterdam the aircraft started the descent into BRU , and flew direction Breda, with a R turn to woensdrecht, L to fly over the port of Antwerp, and on overhead EBBR.
EBBR
when flying over head EBBR i realised that this was noot the standard procedure, but the aircraft continued on to Leuven , then to Lummen, and with a L turn direction Mechelen again, to start the ILS approach on RWY20
Hostade lake seen on final
nobody at the beach today!
And the Castle of Perk, on short final
Overhead the threshold RWY 20
to arrive at the gate at about 11AM local
The flight was marvellous, good service, and a great aircraft the MD90!
Only negative point was the dirty window I sat at see pictures
Hope you enjoy

Dont forget that the route from BRU - > CPH is flown by 4 different companies, SNBA, Virgin, SAS and Maersk. There are a total of 11 flights a day to CPHgliding-glider wrote: Why doesn't it surprise you ?? I'm intrested to have your thougths.
People often opt for the low cost carriers like Maersk or Vex, making SAS and SNBA losing in the game.

Indeed, B737329 said it all...
Too many flights, too many competition.
I often check a GDS like Galileo, and availability one day before departure is mostly quite big.
Also the equipment used by SK: MD80's and MD90's on the CPH flight (with from time to time a DHC8 or B736) is too big IMO.

They are code-sharing with SN Brussels Airlines as they wanted to use there Boeings on routes to the Mediterranean region.

Well, coming back with Vueling from VLC-BRU we also flew over EBBR parallel to 25R/L. This gives ofcourse a magnificent view of the airport. I guess this is a standard procedure for landing on the 20 as we did too just like you.B737229 wrote:

Thanks for this great report B737229. I really like the picture of the AN124 at BRU, it seems you have been able to shoot it from the best angle

Not only for rnwy 20. When landing on rnwy 02 many if nott all planes pass over BUB and the airport before turning to the left in the queue for landingWell, coming back with Vueling from VLC-BRU we also flew over EBBR parallel to 25R/L.
