Trip to Texas!

Post by fokker_f27 »

Hello everybody!

I'm back from my trip to Texas. We flew Continental Airlines, as always.
We arrived at the train station at about 9 AM. It was very cold. We had to taker the train to Amsterdam, which (luckily) was on time. After a train ride of about 2 hours, we arrived in Schiphol. We rushed to the check-in and the security. And we arrived at the gate. As it turns out, were still kind of early. After a small wait, we boarded our Continental Airlines Boeing 767-400ER. The load factor was about 80-90% I think. The plane was really full. We shortly took off. Right after takeoff, the flight attendants already did the first service: the peanuts. I had a drink of OJ with it. About 15-30 minutes later (amusing myself by reading Sky Mall) the meal was served: Beef lasagna or chicken. I had the lasagna, and it was great! The crew came trough the cabin, picked up the trash, and I started playing a little Cave Man. Once the movie cicle went around, I wached Pinky and the Brain,
A Christmas Story, and The Polar Express. In the mean while, wa got a small serving of ice cream, which was quite hard. On the last 2 hours of our flight, the FA's came around one last time, with a chicken and cheese sandwitch, with a chocolate candy. After that, we started our decent in to Houston. The landing was quite bumpy, but I didn't mind. We deboarded the plane, rushed trough security, rebooked on an earlyer flight, since the plane arrived early.
We waited a long time at gate B85A, but our Expressjet Embraer ERJ-145
departed early too. After a rush flight with rush service, we arrived in Corpus Christi. My grandparents pick us up and... Our luggage was not transferred on this flight. So we went out for a Whataburger -even know I had nothing- and returned to the airport. Our luggage had finally arrived. We drove home to Rockport, and all went too bed. This was one wild day.

Please use the SpellCheck next time you write a report. It's full of errors and not pleasing to read like that. Take your time next time and press on that little button on the bottom right of your screen. It doesn't take much time and does a lot to improve the quality of texts - thanks for your comprehension.

Now it seems it was a good experience on CO. How was the loadfactor ?

Ice is usually hard when it's cold :mrgreen:

767-400...Nice, huh? I like CO, I believe it is one of the best these days, although I have only flown with them within the US and Mexico. What I don't like its their hub at IAH. I prefer DFW, but then you have to fly AA, not bad either, but not as good as CO.

Give our young fellow a brake :wink: Sometimes it is not easy to deal with a foreign language, you can tell me about it :?

Continental was announced airline of the year 2005. At least that's what the napkins say.
I'm glad I can fly the 767-400 ER. It's a pretty rare aircraft, tough so comfortable.
