11/02/04 LBA-AMS G-CELC
Arrived to check in around an hour and 10 before the flight. Straight through check-in to the departure lounge and not too long a wait until bording te aircraft G-CELC.
Once on the ircraft the captain spoke to us explaining about the slight ATC Slot delay into AMS – half expected due to the high volume of traffic into AMS at this time of day. 92 on board (overheard the crew) so at check in the seats for the flights had been allocated in either A,C,D or F accross the cabin so the middle seats on a block of 3 were empty giving a roomy feel. Made back the time into AMS, but it did take us 30mins to clear the airport as they asked all arriving passengers a few questions at Passport control leading to a fair que.
11/02/04 AMS-LBA G-CELS
Again arrived early at the airport, around 2 hours before departure as we weren’t familiar with the dutch train network or Schiphol. Checked in and found our way through to departures, which was a fair old walk from the train station to gate D16.
G-CELS was the aircraft to take us home, again very clean and full service passes were done through the cabin. This flight was significantly fuller than our outbound leg. Off on time from AMS landing in Leeds slightly early. Flight became a bit bumpy in the last few mins, nothing to worry about, except for one nervous flyer!
All in all excellent day for around £38 return into Amsterdam. A great day was had in the city, all made accessable by great value fares!
