Flying a Lufthansa CRJ, Munich and Zurich.

[keithh]

I wanted to fly in a CRJ so I selected a flight that was operated by the type 95% of the time, Munich to Zurich. I booked BA flights to Munich and from Zurich. My cousin decided to join me and when we checked FR24, we saw that our flight was allocated to an A319, the only non CRJ flight of the week! On the night before departure however, we received an email saying that we had been transferred to an evening flight that was a CRJ flight. The downside was that it made our connection quite tight at Zurich but our Heathrow flight was delayed by an hour so all was well. We set off for Heathrow in the early hours and made a few before departure aboard G-EUUB

On arrival in Munich, we took the S Bahn to Beshucherpark and ascended the mound overlooking the field. There are four aircraft preserved here with spurious registrations.

After breakfast at our hotel, we went to go to the viewing deck in Terminal 2 but it was closed because of a strike by security staff until 2pm. Instead we returned to the mound until 2.30 and then had some lunch in Tante Ju's cafe at the base of the mound. We returned to Terminal 2 where the viewing deck was now open.

We went to our gate and were soon boarding our CRJ, D-ACNI, for our flight to Zurich. After a pleasant flight, we positioned ourselves where we could see both runways at Zurich and logged the following.

So it was mission accomplished in the end, albeit not exactly as planned but with 142 made, a successful couple of days was had.

Interesting log and the photo of the LH B787 and A350 together should be considered for a page header pic, thanks for posting

Cracking log and photos Keith, thank you

[deke]

Terrific log and photos. Very pleased to hear that you managed to get on a CRJ as you hoped for.

I used to take earlier Lufthansa CRJ models in the 90s from BHX to Munich when I was working for JLR under BMW ownership.
Sadly I was not spotting at that time, which is a great shame as I flew frequently on business all over the world and would have generated a very nice log over the years.
Nothing I can do about it now!
