Brussels National Airport #1

Yesterday I took two flights, firstly from Brussels National Airport [ICAO code: EBBR] to London Heathrow [EGLL], then from London Heathrow to Dublin [EIDW]. While at Brussels, I took the opportunity to take a few photos.

Unlike many airports, Brussels provides signage to point passengers to the viewing areas, which despite poor glass in  some places, they do give good views of the terminal area and one of the runways.

Anyway, on to the photos. Top to bottom we have:

Wellington to London: Abu Dhabi International Airport, Virgin Australia, Etihad and Jet Airways

Following on from my last post, I spent about 8 hours at Abu Dhabi International Airport [OMAA]. It's a nice enough airport - thankfully well air conditioned [it was comfortable inside but about 41` deg celsius outside....!] - and easy to get around.

Transit security was interesting. On first look, it appeared to be organised mayhem [minus the "organised" bit] but in fact it went quite quickly and very smoothly. They were concerned that all metal came off, but LAGs [Liquids Aerosols and Gels] did not need to be separated. There was lots of noise, but none of it directed at the passengers from what I could see.

Terminal 3 [where we arrived and departed from] is fairly spread out. I was a little surprised that eating options were a little limited, but there was a bar, a Burger King and a reasonable selection of other outlets - just not as much as I would have expected in a terminal of this size and stature.

Anyway, on to the photos of aircraft. In this post I have a few sample photos of Virgin Australia, Etihad and Jet Airways aircraft. Top to bottom are:
