Welcome to your attention a new part of the European journey.
How I got to Bucharest here:
Part 1.
Part 2.
Under it I go to the entrance and go inside
The terminal is small and quite crowded, traditional counters, self-check-in counters, cafes, everything is ordinary.
Whoever has not spent cash Romanian lei can exchange them for other currencies, exchange rate June
There are airline representatives
At the rehydration station you can fill your bottle with water, which you will need to drink through security control. At the airport, there is still the previous limit of 100 ml at security control
An entire check-in section is reserved for passengers of the national air carrier of Romania, TAROM Airlines, but I have no luggage, and I received my boarding pass during online check-in and pass by
You can read airport diagram
I'm boarding, there are no border guards, as usual on domestic flights in the Schengen countries. I have passed through security control and am entering the “clean” area
There are also rehydration stations here
Whoever is hungry can satisfy their hunger with a snack at airport prices
The corridor leads to the gates
On the apron the Embraer 190 of Luxembourg Luxair is preparing to return home
Where who should go is determined in front of the sign
Fans of the national football team can purchase merch of their favorite team in the FanStore
A321 WizzAir awaits its passengers at the jet bridge
Passengers, leaving the Schengen area, awaits border control
Food Court is located on the lower level
And there are also quiet small waiting rooms where few departing travelers wander
On the platform of the B738 SunExpress to Antalya and El Al to Tel Aviv
It's time to board my flight RO273 to Athens, made on June 12, scheduled departure time at 12 hours, actually departed at 12.15, scheduled arrival at 13.40, actually arrived at 13.43, travel time was 1 hour 28 minutes
They bring you on board by bus, it is a Boeing 737-800, with registration number YR-BGJ and its own name "Nadia Comaneci" (in honor of multiple Olympic champion in gymnastics), was originally intended for the Turkish Pegasus, but it refused the purchase and TAROM replaced it as the buyer. In May 2017, he joined the air carrier straight from the factory. At the time of the flight, the child was 9 years and 1 month old. Entrance through the tail ramp
Next door is the A220 AnimalWings
I wait until all the passengers board (from experience I determined, based on the number of passengers in one bus, that the board will be at best a third full) and go up the ramp as the last one
That’s right, there are a lot of empty rows in the rear section, I calmly take a seat at the window
Let's look around the place
Everyone who wanted to fly to Athens is on board, let's start moving
The onboard crew is briefing
Our way to the runway
Almost without stopping on the executive plane for takeoff
The American "Stratotanker" arrived from duty and is heading to designated base location (in the upper part of the second image)
We are gaining altitude in sight of the terminal
We are breaking through the low clouds
Soft blue illumination accompanied the entire horizontal flight, in the initial stage above overcast
In the logbook information about the composition of the fleet and routes TAROM
From the service included in the price of the air ticket, a plastic cup water
Eating and drinking at additional costs
The flight was smooth. The weather has changed over Greece
It's nothing to Athens
And we land safely at Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos"
Exit through two ramps to the bus
A short drive to the terminal and the arrivals area greets passengers
A couple of minutes and I go out to the greeters, where a group of young people with an anti-war poster stands out
I study the schedule of public transport to the center, I'm just there, today I'm in Athens
This will conclude the review. And according to tradition, the conclusions:
Bucharest airport - 5, everything is clear, clean, no problems,
TAROM airline - 5, on a short flight proved to be an excellent air carrier, inexpensive baggage-free fares,
Athens airport will receive a rating in the next part.
Thank you for your attention to my reviews.
