I have just returned from Bulgaria. Thanks to everyone who told me about ZRH…it´s really a paradise for spotters…..four rolls of films. I flew SR. Four flights, all A320. Great airline. Screens all the way with flight data and maps, leather seats, biologic catering, hot meals, decent coffee, chocolate all the time and even fancy details like the luxury Evelyn & Crabtree toiletries in the toilets. GREAT. Within Bulgaria….flew Yakolev 40 from Hemus Air. Also like a small business jet (I don´t know they don´t revamp this jet for the regional market). Configuration 2×1, also leather seats, new engines and quick take off and landing. A bit of frighten. As we were bording at Sofia (quite small airport) there were back clouds coming. A A320 from AU aborted the landing and procceded to the other side of the runway. Our pilot went down, nodded while he watched the clouds. We took off with turbulence and lightening all around. Didn,t enjoy it at all. My flight to SCQ to MAD with a IB brand new A321 with too many seats and no galleys or toilets in the middle. Sorry if I have bored you.
