Today’s Flight
@todaysflight.bsky.social
airports, planes and other #avgeek stuff.
Or whatever comes my way when I travel.

How was today’s flight?
From the ship hole to the Fragrant Harbor in 11+ hours. Very smooth flight on one of Cathay‘s looooong #A35K from #AMS to #HKG. Mighty engines make those wings look small. Not just on #wingfriday.

It is flying! I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Global Airlines operated today’s Hi Fly Malta flight #PY994, but at least 9H-SUN was sporting their colours. She was a bit shy though.
I’m sure AMS #avgeeks got better shots.

Long taxi times and long walks, but #AMS is definitely among the airports with the best views too.
Goede morgen, Amsterdam. 🇳🇱
Even if it’s just for a short transfer again.

‘Ragnvald’ is the poor viking stripped of his Star Alliance livery, bringing me from #OSL to #AMS this morning as #SK821.
He’s also trying to fool me. Those cockpit window frames mimic an A319neo, when in fact Ragnvald is already 18 years old. #A319 #avgeek #skyteam #SAS

It’s been a short night in #OSL, which is a sweet spot for cheap C class tickets. Technically my current trip to Asia begins here. Even with the feeder flights needed and the extra night at a hotel it is cheaper than a nonstop flight from Berlin.

#AY919 from #HEL to #OSL, operated by Nordic Regional Airlines - N°RRA. Delayed departure, early arrival. Yet enough time for a proper warm meal. And another outstanding cabin crew. Great #paxex! #EMB190 #norra #avgeek

I made it to #HEL. You’ll just have to arrive late enough to find any bigger #airport almost deserted. But lights were still on in the lounge for a short break before my next flight. Hello, Helsinki. #Vantaa #smoothtravelling #avgeek

Big time on Jettime. Excellent cabin crew on #AY1436 from #BER to #HEL. Pre ordered meal: scandinavian meatballs.

Spot the differences. To make it easier for me, SN operates #SN2591 from #BRU to #BER in star alliance livery today. Easier to find among all those dots and squares that look so similar. Unless it’s dark. My reward: a whole row to myself. #avgeek #aviation #A320

Equipment change for my afternoon flight from #LPA.
My A320 turned into an #A320neo, which is a first for me. At least with Brussels Airlines. Next stop: #BRU.

Las Palmas #airport has grown significantly over the past years. To an extent where is seems too big, at least during shoulder season. The planes depicted and the fact that #LPA has a viewing deck indicate in which decade the main terminal was built. #avgeek #GranCanaria

Gave away my aisle seat in row 10 upon check-in when offered the last window seat. Turns out views in row 32 on #4Y302 are just as good as in row 11 on Ryanair.
But the inflight entertainment had a great ARTE documentary about the golden age of #aviation. Recommend!

It’s that time of year where wings turn green and airplanes turn white while the sky is grey. But as soon as you climb out of the clouds you’ll be rewarded with some warm Lufthansa yellow.

#OS736 already left #TGD with a delay. But with a tarmac stand in #VIE and a non-Schengen to Schengen transfer by bus there wasn’t even a chance to catch the next flight to Berlin. On the plus side: 250 EUR more and time for some Austrian dessert. #flightrights #avgeek #paxex

The old days of Titograd airport are long gone, except for the airport code #TGD and the old tower. #Podgorica airport is now a small but modern airport. One where you can walk to your plane. Love it.

Fully booked flight #OS736 to Podgorica, so I had my seat moved one row forward. This upgrade feels like an unexpected appetizer to an evening with some hearty, meat-heavy dish in the Montenegrin capital. Very welcome.

Memo to myself:
you don’t like departures before 8am. 😴

A tale of two cranes. When #Lufthansa introduced the new livery in 2018, the first dozen of planes came with a slightly darker shade of blue and a thinner/smaller tail logo. Hard to spot in grey weather, but #avgeeks know. Watch out in better light. #design #livery #aircraft

That’s a wrap.
Last leg today with an opportunity for a nice #wingfriday picture. #LH1938 from foggy #MUC to sunny #BER.
Let the weekend begin.

When planning a same day return flight it’s wise to book back-to-back tickets so that a (e.g. weather related) delay of the inbound flight won’t cause trouble with your outbound flight. Besides, you’ll love the look of the crew when you board the direct return. #ZAG #MUC #LH1727

Avgeek doing #avgeek things:
some airports are very suitable for direct turnarounds. #Zagreb is one of them. First to deboard, just a few steps up to the departure level and first to board again.

Airlines hate this trick. 💰
Flying to #ZAG this morning, only to take the same plane back to #MUC. Why?
#LH1726 is the last leg of my super cheap C class Amman ticket.
#LH1727 is the return flight of my positioning flight to/from Berlin. I did my math, it’s a bargain. #avgeek

When the flight is short but the curtain is only behind row 10, flight attendants will have a busy time to serve everyone. Today‘s crew of #OS189 mastered that challenge with a smile. Well done! #VIE #MUC #A320 #avgeek #paxex

#Vienna has a minimum connecting time of 30mins between an incoming non-Schengen and an outgoing Schengen flight. Quite challenging, even under good conditions (early arrival/front seat/fast immigration and security) when your inbound flight has a tarmac position.
Made it! #VIE
November 6, 2025 at 9:12 PM
On-time departure in #AMM, early arrival in #VIE.
Less than four hours onboard OE-LBL, a 22 year old #A320.
Tasty dinner included.
