Zlote Wakacje

Departing from the standard of Warsaw, at 6:50. It got a bit colder than before - minus 15th But it is not raining, so the road to the airport taxi takes 15 minutes. As usual, there is no queue for the "baggage drop" but begins with the queue for other jobs. I do not understand why people do not use self-service job or better of the Internet and check-in online. Several major - at Warsaw airport, there are machines for laminating luggage. For 40 zł. Can be wrapped tightly in plastic suitcase, and for that the price of insurance is to 3000EUR. We do not check how this insurance, but it is likely to be excluded from the insurance offered by the airline. So the defense is unlikely. Our luggage was encapsulation of the house - by hand. It does not look as professional as laminating machine, but should prevent unauthorized access and secure no content if the locks did not withstand the brutal cases of diversion airports.

Baggage we give to Manila. There is also an opportunity to give directly to Koror, but probably safer to pick up a suitcase in Manila, "spend" with her 12 hours and give more instead of letting it wait somewhere alone all day in hopes that someone will notice and send it to the appropriate location.

We already know how to die case. During the journey from the plane to the terminal in Amsterdam, we noticed a red suitcase abandoned building somewhere in between the airport and aircraft parking place. Przejeżdżało some luggage trolleys, but nobody stopped or paid no attention. I wonder whether the case will be lying there "to effect" - whatever that means in this case, or perhaps a special "service, which regularly browses the airport and collect abandoned suitcase in order to transfer them to the" office of abandoned suitcases in the truck. "

It is a pity that the camera was not prepared. I think the photo of the lost luggage (almost in the middle of the street) is located on Twitter Account KLM would be very popular. Or perhaps it were to find the owner?

We look forward to boarding at gate F4. Small 3 inch pocket knife Victorinox has undergone yet another security check and baggage travels in the accumulating experience of the journey. You can not see in the waiting room too many children or passengers that may be seen as disruptive. Only persons who are returning home after a few hand-luggage, so as usual in the lockers quickly run out.

After boarding ...

(02/21/2011) plane from Amsterdam is full. So you can not take more seats than that provided in the ticket.

But this is an interesting flight. Average growth of Filipinos is about 155 cm, so no one knocks on my knees in the seat and is only loosely. Some of the high Dutch stewardesses in blue uniforms look at the passengers as blue characters from the film Avatar.

On a good day the captain announced that during the loading of a component of an aircraft in the hold was broken 15 minutes before departure and must be replaced. but ... travels from another part of the airport and its handing and repair will take at least 45 minutes. which of course will cause the corresponding delay in Manila. In order to improve humor of the passengers were immediately distributed to sweet biscuits with chocolate and orange juice. You can see also that some passengers did not understand the message and waiting when you can unhook the straps, take hands and dance happily around a blue blanket with the logo of KLM. But ... even among the passengers who understand the message you do not see panic or concern - and thus in this part of the aircraft, it probably is no one who has experienced in the past some unpleasant experiences associated with flying, such as long and intense turbulence and free-fall aircraft.

but ... just a new communication ... Please undo the straps, because ... Folder us fuel to fly faster and make up for the delay. that is another message hidden subtext - because they can say "Dear passengers, refueling can be ignited so prepare to evacuate."

Morning ... somewhere over Hong Kong

Flight ran without any problems, typical of a night flight when you fall asleep after max. 2 hours and raised 90 minutes before landing. With small breaks caused by a noise or play, and crying children, which, however, was about 10 in this part of the aircraft. Moreover, only a little turbulence over China, but I can say with 777 boingu turbulence in the middle of the night is pure pleasure - the gentle rocking and caused minimal changes in the height of a better night's sleep.

Soon half-landing. I'm starting to wonder whether the decision to grant the luggage only to Manila was good, but at least you will be satisfied with that part of the travel beat us.
