Hello everyone,

For the summer season, I decide to go to Greece.
Once is not customary, return to Thessaloniki.

But this time, I prefer the direct flight of Transavia.
And, for good reason, Orly is only 25 minutes from the center of Paris.

After 1 week in Greece, it’s time to return.
I will leave the center of Thessaloniki 2h before the theoretical departure time.

I will reach the airport of SKG by bus, for 1,50 €.
The bus will not be very reliable with respect to the schedule, and I will arrive almost 1h before the theoretical departure of our flight:

More people at the transavia check-in counter, but it’s still good to check my suitcase.
The flight attendant will tell me if our flight is 30 minutes late:

Security checks will be shipped quickly.

Same seat as on a regular TO flight:

Pitch of the day tighter than on the outbound flight.
The Norwegian touch?

The ceiling light is indicative of our device’s advanced age:

USB plug present, always a plus, especially on an LC:

Take-off with 30 min delay:

Not much to report on this flight, other than the BOB service of the day.
I will rest during the flight.

Landing at Orly always 30 minutes late:

No Pax Bus on the horizon, but a path to an unknown boarding area:

Conclusion

A fairly classic flight on TO, which does the necessary service.
SKG is a very pleasant leisure airport, but it would require more accessibility from the city center.
ORY is a nice airport, but the arrival off-shore and waiting for luggage make the service difficult.

  • The pitch is really tight, as is expected for a Y189 configuration...a 3h flight is probably the upper limit I'd be ok to endure such tight quarters. I will say it's great that there are USB ports...especially USB-C. That's a nice unexpected surprise. Good to be able to keep the phone or tablet charged to have distraction from claustrophobic environment haha. Thanks for sharing!
