Frequent flyer

What a time was that, flying 2 or 3 times per month to Warsaw and back. Wizzair, Ryanair, LOT, Eurowings, Eindhoven, Maastricht, Dortmund, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Paderborn, Warsaw Chopin and Warsaw Modlin.

Our calendars...

Variables
Sometimes I needed to book combinaions like: leaving from Eindhoven landing on Warsaw Chopin with Wizzair, back from Warsaw Modlin flying to Cologne with Ryanair. It was a constant hustle between price, availability, flight times, parking, transfers and the most important: my loved ones who could bring me to the airport and were waiting for me in terminals in Germany and the Netherlands. Around midnight.

Mrs My Warsaw Dream

Let's not forget the Mrs, girlfriend back then. I can remember a delayed flight, wrote her that I did not want her to wait for me. Around 2:30 AM we landed in Warsaw.

Guess who was standing there in a desolated terminal...if I remember correctly she even had to work a few hours later. What a woman.

Amazing views
It was always fantastic to arrive in Warsaw, sometimes the last minutes were spectacular.

Warsaw city center. I loved flights during daylight.

Especially when the pilot had to queue and wait for a landing slot, making circles above the city.

And on the return flight back to the Netherlands I said goodbye to the city with this view:

Pick ups

Of course she also visited me in the Netherlands and I had to pick her up on some Dutch or German airport. These were mostly Fridays, I can remember it was tough after a busy work week. Arrived in Neede around midnight if we were lucky. But the few days together were compensating all the hassle, it gave us energy.

I will never forget this time!
