Flying with Portugália Airlines

Lately, I've been flying a lot on this small airplane - the Embraer 145. From a passenger point of view, the Embraer 145 is a nice airplane if the flight time does not extend too much. For a 1:40 flight like this one, it's still OK. The small bins of this Embraer mean that many cabin trolleys don't fit inside them and have to go as carry on baggage in the bulk with a "Delivery at Aircraft" tag.

Barcelona-Lisboa

We departed with a clear day, providing a great view over El Prat airport after the typical sharp left turn when departing from runway 25L.

And now, some Spanish landscapes after reaching cruise altitude...



Halfway to Lisbon, it's usual to pass abeam Madrid Barajas airport.

Such a huge airport!
