Thanks, 9V-SIA! Great food pics! Lovely scenes! Can't wait for May. Due to much persuasion from the Spanish Tourism office, the plan has grown from just BCN and MAD to quite a tour!

Originally posted by eriond View PostI'm guessing that the flight that you missed was SQ67 cos you mentioned that the a/c was heading "home" rather than "to MXP". So for a PPS travelling in F, they would have rerouted you via LHR/FRA or placed on you SQ377 the next morning?
Either way, I'm sure you now know the Miro Lounge really well.
I've never missed a flight in my life because I always check in at least 2 hours before
The one time I nearly missed a flight, SQ319 from LHR, was when I went 3 hours before departure to claim VAT back and checked in 30 minutes before departure.
This was my ride to LHR, 60 minutes after I sent my son home on SQ377
BCN is a great airport for photographers
So this is how the Canadians I sat next to at Cal Pep come to BCN!

BCN-LHR
My own departure from BCN...
... heading in the opposite direction to my son. Can you see W in the background?
I was unwilling fly J in Europe for what amounts to the same seat with more legroom and the middle seat blocked.
It was a lunch time flight but I couldn't find the menu.
No wonder... Lunch was a chocolate bar and a beverage service. SQ bean counters have a lot to learn
While there is no IFE on BA's A319, I was fortunate enough to sit next to 2 guys who worked for a motor racing team.
Their colleague stood on the aisle for almost the entire flight discussing their next race.
I thought they were McLaren mechanics at first as they wore McLaren jackets.
They discussed how to set up their 3 cars for Spa Francorchamps so I guess... ETC championship?
I know how to set up my BMW now
I always sit on the right approaching LHR to get these views..
Tower Of London
Houses Of Parliament and London Eye
Buckingham Palace
Hyde Park and Regents Park ( at 2 o'clock )
No aerobridge when we landed. I felt like I was treated like baggage on BA.
No wait.... the bags got off the plane before me. That's my bag he's holding!

LHR-SIN
I left London the next evening after a full days work.
Walking to the gate, I had the opportunity to study the VS A343 vs A346
A343
A346: bigger engines, longer and centre undercarriage has 4 wheels ( vs 2 wheels on A343 )
Imagine my surprise when who showed up to fly me home? 9V-SWE!!
After flying my son home the day before from BCN, she turned around at Changi to come get me!
I've watched with some interest T2 coming up
SQ318 arriving early
On my way home..
Dinner: BTC Duck Rice ( amongst other things ).
After the dinner service, we're over Eastern Europe already
BBB. Breakfast over Bay of Bengal
Porridge
Landing on 20R
Hope you enjoyed BCN: Director's Cut
THE END.Last edited by 9V-SIA; 7 April 2012, 08:50 PM.
