Flight to Frankfurt Germany - Day 1

So I have 267 pics from the airport and airplane! Needless to say, I will delete a couple before sending them haha. Possibly about 250!! Must have been excited or something!!Speaks for itself!

The airline we flew

Our airbus, double decker seats over 500!


This is the screen in front of my seat. Tons of movies, TV shows, radio, etc. and also a map showing where we are going, and flight cameras that I thought were pretty cool.  

This is the view of us heading out to the runway
 
Us lifting off 

Our first meal. Was pretty good. 

Showing how many miles and time left to destination. You could see the map or stats anytime you wanted. Was good to keep track. And also bad I guess, as you saw exactly how long you had left to watch it while most everyone around you slept!! 

I thought when they showed it on the globe, and you could see it from that perspective that it was awesome.  


 
Just another update 

Camera view from tail of plane

Camera view from bottom of plane 

This is the view the pilot saw...you have to have confidence in the equipment at this point!!

Starting to see our destination now, only 22 minutes remaining on this first leg of the trip






It was pretty cool to watch the plane land. 



 
Because Eva had asked for assistance we got to experience a bit more of the crew close up. They loaded us on a bus type deal. Looked a little boxier but drove like a bus. 




driving to the plane



 they pulled right up to the plane, lifted the bus up to the level of the back door, and knocked. It was crazy!!

 They opened the door

and on we went...fun stuff. I would not have had this experience if not for Eva asking for assistance, so that part was fun. Got ushered to places no one else went. Germany workers were the nicest we encountered I think. All were nice.

  2. Mike and Eva do not care for France. Eva and I talked about visiting Ulla and Christian then taking a train to Paris and having dinner in the Eiffel Tower before returning, but Mike refused and we could not work it in. Then Jens said they do not even stay at his parents anymore. So France was out!
