cspyro21 goes to Portugal (1: Arrival at LPFR)

Postby cspyro21 » Fri Sep 01, 2006 3:24 pm

Just a few pics from my recent holiday / vacation to Portugal...These were pics from the arrival at LPFR (Faro), after a 2 1/2 hour flight from EGGD - and a 2 hour delay, but at long last our First Choice Airways A321 was ready to go....was a good time, but these certainly aren't up to the standards of this forum (what with me being an amateur photographer and having a bad camera...) Oh well, the pics'll do I suppose 8) (First two and final pics are thumbnails to keep thread within guidelines)

Oh by the way, if you're wondering why there are so many British carriers at the airport, Thursday (day we flew out there) is 'British Carrier Day' at LPFR :D

In-Flight Pics

Image

A pic of the wing, during descent on approach to LPFR. This pic was hard to get; my face and camera were literally pressed against the window to include the wing (we were in the third row of seats from the front of the aircraft)

Image

Not long until touchdown on RWY 28, passing over the outskirts of Faro. To our left was the sea, behind and ahead lay marshes, and of course the airport was ahead (we weren't about to land in the marshes... ::))

On The Ground at LPFR


Image

Turning onto the ramp; a First Choice Airways A320 in the foreground, either an A320 or A321 behind that and a First Choice Airways 757 behind that. The aircraft taxiing was an easyJet A319 if I remember rightly....

Image

An easyJet A319 being unloaded or loading up on the ramp.



Image

First Choice Airways 757, this one was getting ready to depart I believe.

Image

A British Airways A320 being attended to by groundcrew.

The tower at LPFR.

Well, these are the only aircraft shots I got on all of our two weeks there; and it seems everytime we went out and I didn't take my camera, there was a good photo oppurtunity to get some aircraft in a pic. Just my luck.  ::)

More to come!

Part Two

At least when you went on holiday they let you take a camera on the plane  :(
