And for the free drinks on board of this airline. Chenab river in Pakistan, ready to merge with the Indus. The Panjab plains are behind uns, now we face the Balochistan ridges. The borders of the balouchistan province were made by the british colonial gouvernment in the 19th century under ignorance of the ethnical groups present. Which is still the reason for military conflicts. Afghanistan. Facing the same trouble: Historical home to the Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras and Uzbeks it was turned in the 19th century into a buffer state in the "Great Game" between British India and the Russian Empire. As we all know the artificial borderlines between have not led to peace since then. We are peacefully heading into the night over Azerbaijan... ... and Georgia. Darkness around for 4 more hours... until Vienna. Nuremberg to our right, where we start to descent. On downwind to EDDF, ... ... this is STAR PSA07S into the 07R. On base, ... ... final, ... ... and here we are. On time. Parked at the B gates, as usual for Singapore Airlines. Hope you had a nice flight.

Hast du Lensflare gegen einen Blendeffekt getauscht? Damit experimentiere ich gerade etwas. Ein super Screenshot! 5 hours ago, Stillwater said: The economy class passenger can only hope for a good inflight entertainment. And for the free drinks on board of this airline. Now think of the "poor" sucker that goes on a standby ticket, and the last free seat was the jumpseat (in the galley, besides the toilets). 5 hours ago, Stillwater said: Another super shot.

Cheers & thank you Renault Thanks for your comment - and your understanding, Renault. Indeed it is some work to find out about the beautiful scenery you discover during flight. But finally it is also a pleasure - just like any other travelling and learning about your destinations. 8 hours ago, VH-KDK said: A wonderful flight Gerold which I really enjoyed. I assume the service was first class as usual! Thank you Martyn. Unfortunately the service today was limited - I was "home alone" and no Singpore Girl (or any other person) around. I even had to go to the supermarket during the flight to get food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
