Lot Embraer’s run - part 2 of 2
I divided it in two because of the number of photos:
Part 1:
07JUL Sofia Warsaw LO632 E170
07JUL Warsaw Gdansk LO3817 A72
is here (in Bulgarian) http://forum.bgspotters.net/viewtopic.php?t=2301
Part 2:
12JUL Gdansk Warsaw LO3828 E175
12JUL Warsaw Sofia LO631 E170
After couple of very nice days in Sopot
which tourist’s season is in it’s height – it was time for an early start .
Actually I overslept , for 1st time after many many years! Good , the taxi driver came early and after 5 minutes the reception guy was knocking on the door .
Quick ride to Gdansk airport, where 6 am is kind of a peak hour .There were two Wizz flights
as well as SAS flight to CPH
in addition to our domestic one.
After the security check quick glance through the windows :
Wizz :
Lot , I thought that’s the one for our flight , but it turned out to be another Embraer :
Then morning coffee in the small , but very nice business lounge:
Boarding was on time , bus ride to SP-LID :

LEFT THE GATE 0603
TOOK OFF 0609
AIRCRAFT LANDED 0647
ARRIVED 0652
I think we were 1st to board today:
95 % passenger load , 100% in business class !
Taxied on the runway to the end , made a U turn and took off :

After take-off , sharp left turn offering a good overview of GDN:
Spectacular lighting , when the sun came through the clouds:
Drink service only on this short domestic hop and soon we were descending towards Warsaw.
Again interesting clouds – very thin layer of them :
Wisla river before we turn for the final approach.
Same approach path as on 7th july :
The mall
We chased our shadow for a while , then soft touch down

While taxiing I caught Wizz taking off :
Finally a good shot of the Air Italy Polska 757 :
Couple of bizjets:
A new one for Air Italy ?
Then the government fleet:
Parked at a gate in the B part of terminal 2 .
From there some escalators:
Security check and passport control and straight to the nice business lounge at T2 – A :
After some web-browsing , reading and another coffee a walk around :
Centralwings:
SP-LKA :
Meanwhile , our Embraer came so I prepared to board:

The flight was uneventful , standard service , around 60% passenger load.
Initially I think the routing was for approach on RWY 27.
Crossed the Danube over Oryahovo :
Icing on the windows:
The “road runway” near Botevgrad:
But as we got close to Sofia we changed direction for 09 approach.
Over Kumaritsa?
Bozhurishte (note the SOF runwau in the distance)

Lulin 9
Banishora
TEC Sofia
