F-GHIA, Embraer EMB-120ER, Air Littoral, taxiing to it’s gate at Manchester Airport, some time before December 1996.
When you pass through so many airports in the past month you forgot which one this photo was from. Nice view when deplaning a red-eye flight over the Atlantic although all you could think of were "I need more sleep" and "how many more transfers?"
Thank goodness for geotags :)

Summer Olympics soon in #Paris, expecting millions of visitors. CDG is the largest airport in Europe (in size) and second busiest (behind LHR). I may have clocked more steps in #CDG than in Paris city on this trip
Anyway just wanted to say, hyvää juhannusta! Happy #midsummer!
(Even though I was in Paris for #AIDev this week, I hardly saw anything in the city aside from the conference venue, meetup venue, and my hotel. Need to return for a proper visit sometime but maybe after the Olympics..)

Very innovative way of boarding process. If the plane is parked inside the terminal, there is no weather disruption and also food handling is easier.
The only issued to be addressed is the smell of toilet tank cleaning, but it is expected to be solved soon.
This test run was performed at Paris CDG, terminal 2E/M featuring Airbus A330 MEA.
Tuuttaus atlantin yltä, siirrytään juuri toiselle aikavyöhykkeelle, pari vyöhykeloikkaa vielä ennen määränpäätä. Matka mennyt nukkuessa, ja melko vähäisin turbulenssein. 4h40min jäljellä.
The double-decker #TGV Duplex trains are great, but with a suitcase I’m always delighted by the old TGV Réseau (Network) trains. No climbing a flight of stairs with luggage!
Travelling by #rail around #France is so much easier and more pleasant than flying, and this train goes straight from the heart of #Lyon to #Paris’ #CDG airport station.
