Hi again!
Another translation to have some AY European flights in the English database :)
We flew to HEL with my parents and some friends, Sky Team offered the best price, 180€ with a return on AY codeshare AF.
We also took advantage of an upgrade offer for 80€ for the AMS/HEL leg. As three of my friends did not have access to the lounge, this would grant them lounge access in Amsterdam and priority for security and boarding. Furthermore, there is a hotmeal service in J on that flight…
That would then be the routing:
Flight routing
- 1BSL - AMS / KL Cityhopper / E75 / Y
- 2AMS - HEL / KLM / 738 / J
- 3HEL - CDG / AY / 321 / Y
- 4CDG - BSL / HOP! / E90 / Y
We arrived at 0430 for take off at 0600 as we knew that this would just be before the EasyJet morning rush and we did well, security was cleared in no time.

Priorities are called first but nobody cares and everyone tries to access the plane. It took us a good 10 minutes to be there:


Nice welcome, we head to our seats, my mother shows the recline of her seat:

We started with a few minutes delay, not a big deal they will be caught up in flight.
The morning sandwich is the one with eggs, my all time favorite!

In no time we were around AMS:

We landed on the Polderbaan and after a lengthy taxi we parked at the gates B:

That's it for this short flight, the two next ones will be a bit more intersting :)
