Dublin airport #1

Two days ago I flew from Dublin to London Heathrow. I'm staying in the UK for another couple of days before heading home.

As it turns out, Dublin Airport [ICAO code: EIDW] is a good place for taking photos. There are good views all around [and I imagine the other terminals would be similar], with only some fairly dirty glass to get in the way a bit.

Anyway, this series of posts covers some of the photos I took. First up, we have some single-isle Airbus aircraft. Top to bottom are:

Airbus A320-232, EI-EUB, of Livingston
Airbus A320-232, OY-KAL, of Scandinavian Airlines [SAS]
Airbus A319-132, D-AGWM, of Germanwings
Airbus A319-131, G-DBCB, of British Airways

Europe Trip 2013: Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport and back to London Heathrow

After Helsinki, a took the ferry across to Tallinn [capital city of Estonia] for a few days. After the visit I flew from Tallinn [ICAO code: EETN] to Copenhagen-Kastrup then back to London Heathrow.

I had a couple of hours at the airport and although the airport was nowhere near as busy as I had hoped, there were a few interesting aircraft passing through. What was interesting for me was that my flight to Copenhagen-Kastrup was in an Estonian Air Embraer ERJ-170 - a nice little plane and reasonably comfortable for a short flight. Also, the SAS flight from Copenhagen-Kastrup to London Heathrow was in an A319 in a special livery... see below.

Anyway, on to the photos. Unfortunately the light was not great for some of them but such is life. Top to bottom we have:

Airbus A319-111, VQ-BCP, Aeroflot
Boeing 737-8AS, EI-DLI, Ryanair
Boeing 737-53S, YL-BBE, Air Baltic
Canadair CRJ900, ES-ACD, Estonian Air
ATR ATR72-500, OH-ATF, Finncomm
Embraer ERJ170-100LR, ES-AED, Estonian Air
Airbus A319-131, OY-KBO, SAS

Europe Trip 2013: UK to Finland

Three days ago I flew from London Heathrow [ICAO code: EGLL] to Copenhagen-Kastrup [EKCH] and then on to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport [EFHK] in Finland.

The first flight was on an SAS Airbus A320 and from Copenhagen, I was on a Blue1 Boeing 717-2CM, OH-BLI. It is the first time I have been on a B717, which is basically a rebranded  McDonnell Douglas MD95. The B717 was quite comfortable to fly on - the only strange thing was that the cabin air blowers appeared to have a direct relationship engine speed... as the power came on, the air blowers worked harder and vice versa :-)

On to the photos. There are no photographs from Heathrow - it's just not a good place to get photos [once in the terminal at least]. The following photographs are all from Copenhagen. First is one of the signs on arrival. The aircraft photos are, in order:

2 x Canadair CL600-2D24, OY-KFE, of Sandinavian Airlines [SAS]
BAE Systems Avro 146-RJ100, OO-BWH, of Brussels Airlines
Fokker F28-0100, OE-LVB, of Austrian Airlines
Boeing 717-2CM, OH-BLI, of Blue1. These aircraft have a really nice livery!

Last photo is at the departure gates as we boarded.

Apologies for the photo quality - these were all taken through the terminal glass, and some are more or less into the sun...
