When I say first flight since 2019 I’m excluding a couple flight lessons I’ve done in a cessna 172. for the purpose of this post I mean a flight as a passenger on an airline. My trip was to Germany with a layover in Iceland both ways

So lucky, I haven't flown since 2013. I'm hoping it happens soon.

Is the last airport BER?

I’m pretty sure it was Berlin yes

You'll realized how much smoother it is compared to the little skyhawk haha. Got my PPL in that thing. Still better than a 152 on a high, hot humid day!

Tbh. First pic got my attension. I always wanted to know how it feels in an a380 😅

The quietist ride you’ll have. A great aircraft to fly in

To clarify, i did not ride on the a380, I just happened to see it and had to get a picture of it lol

I did actually ride on that exact a380 from that gate! It was fantastic on BA. I sat in the upper deck and the most memorable part is the amount of space and the window sill you get which is practically a desk. It opens up as well and is large enough for a bag that would typically go in overhead. Smooth ride, and absurdly long takeoff roll.

Nice! I flew Icelandair a couple of months ago, great flights but I was slightly disappointed I didn't get a 767 or 757 which are being retired soon. Looks like you got lucky!

Lovely photos. Your kitty waiting for you I guess. The cherry on top. Or was that him/her on your way out?
ContemplativePebble@reddit (OP)
That was her after I came back, she was more than displeased with the fact that she couldn’t see me for over a week lol

Some things change, but some stay the same. My almost identical picture from 2024.

I did indeed take off out of Boston lol, other airports were Reykjavik in Iceland, Frankfurt in Germany, and on the return i took off from Berlin
