I woke up at 10:30 and had a bit to eat then i set off for the Docklands light railway station at Canning Town.
I got to LCY at around 11:55, plenty of time for my flight, so i checked in and took my FAVOURITE PICTURE EVER !
VERY PROUD OF THIS ONE
(At maximum zoom, Quite far away)
Sorry but i dont know where this came from, but i THINK it had arrived from Oslo.
I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT THIS AIRLINE CAME HERE!
At 12:35 my flight was called to the gate, and i counted about only 29 people on this flight, as it was the most expensive of the day, im guessing that people only went o it if they really had to.
My A/C Taking me to AMS, with another BA CONNECT Lifting off heading to Zurich.(can someone help, y so big??
)
I boarded and took my seat just behind the wing.
We taxied straight off the stand and almost immedately were at the runway, We waited for a Lufthansa to get off the runway.
After 3 Minutes we blasted off towards Amsterdam, taking off over London.
The crew came around with some food, which was small, but it was only a small flight
(I dunno wat zoom i just pulled it out took a pic and put it away)
Chicken Sandwhich, coffee, juice, Nuts, nothing to complain about.
We got up, and started descending after nearly 10 mins of cruise, and then bumped down towards AMS.
Sorry, The Flight crew said no pics once in the air, so thats why i only managed to sneak in that one of the food, im sorry.
We landed quite hard down onto the Runway, Bouncing THREE times before we could safely touch down.
The captain apologized and then when he finished speaking we parked up and disembarked.A nice Flight with BA Connect today, my first flight with them and definately not my last, a warm welcome and good flight and service(apart from landing), Overall 8/10.

I walked around Schipol for a bit, watching a Couple of MD-11's taxi, then i checked in, 2.5 hours before T/O.
I went straight through the crowded security, which took 25 minutes !, then went into the ABSOLUTELY JAM PACKED departure lounge.
My flight already had a gate so i walked slowly towards it.
My gate, i cant remember sorry, was in the main shopping area so was convenient.
Parked up was,rusty, old looking, 747, which was disembarking passengers, which i later found out had just arrived from Beijing ..
I shopped around for a while, then when a few more passengers turned up, the flight got called forward.
Row by row, passengers boarded.
The crew on this flight said to me, "NO PHOTOS ON BOARD PLEASE SIR!", which i obviously had to obey.
So unfotunately, the old 747 had to TV'S on the seats, so we had to pug some headphones into the armrest and watch the TV'S that were every 12 rows.
We pushed back, and sat on the tarmac for 15 minutes, i dont know why.
Then the safety Demo started, and we started taxiing.
We Got priority taxi over a Transavia 737 to Alicante and we passed a Bmi on its way home to LHR.
We lined up straight away, and Blasted away.
We got up and turned right almost immediately, while banking, we had a rather unusual drop, not a nice drop.
A few people screamed and the lights flickered, but it was over soon enough.
We climbed into the thick cloud and started our long trip over to SXM.
I asked again why i wasnt aloud pictures, and the Lady answered "Sorry, this is a KLM Asia Aircraft, Not KLM"
Thats not an answer is it, even the French guy next to me said that i might aswell take some.
I thought i wouldent as the rule wouldent be there for no reason.
We leveled out at 38,005, and cruised.
The crew handed out a meal after about 50 minutes
