Hello and welcome back.
I just deboarded my incoming flight from Zurich.
Zagreb is a really tiny airport so the connection was made in 5 minutes.
I then arrived at the gate and waited for boarding. I could've used the lounge but I decided against, since the time was too short.
Boarding
Boarding started with only a 5 minute delay.
The couple in front of me was sent away, because they were "at the wrong gate", however after my boarding pass showed the same error, they realized there was some system issue. They printed me a new boarding pass, which generated the same error, so she boarded me manually.
The jetbridge was a labyrinth but I eventually arrived at the aircraft.
Cabin
The A220 is fitted with a 2-3 configuration. The legroom is dmaller than in the A319 from before but the seat was very comfortable.
It was also equipped with a USB-A and USB-C Port.
I was the first on board and it took a while until they had the system set up again for boarding, so I got a couple minutes of private jet feeling…
I looked out the window (I LOVE the big windows in the 220) to see the aircraft I arrived in ZAG on.
Today's aircraft is named "Pula", is registered as 9A-CAQ and was delivered 2 months ago, so brand new!
Wi Fi was available for a fee. Interestingly, the messaging wifi only granted you a 10 minute connection.
Take off
We pushed back 3 mins early. I stayed lucky, as the seat next to me stayed empty, so I moved my backpack over there.
We took off at 14:34, after a lengthy 17 minute taxi.
Inflight
Despite the short duration, flight attendants soon passed through the cabin and handed out water.
I was unlucky, as the row in front of me was occupied by a group of spanish teenagers who had no clue whatsoever on how to behave on a plane. Using safety cards as hand fans, shouting through the aircraft, passing stuff through the galley, reclining even when instructed by crew not to, etc.
My condolences to the passengers on the spain-zagreb flight that had them in their aircraft for hours.
I then proceeded to enjoy the view.
We then soon descended.
Arrival
Split does not have any jetbridges at all, so we deplaned on a remote stand and got a nice long walk across the tarmac. We arrived two minutes late at 3:12pm.
The airport is really small and I did not have any luggage, so just 3 minutes after leaving the plane, I was already at the busstop.
