Flying with Blue Air 2
For the ones that don’t know already, Blue Air is the first Romanian air transporter for passengers that is offering low cost prices.
I have bought the ticket, on line, in February for a flight in April. I paid for a round trip Bucharest-Rome-Bucharest 59 euros. It is true that I left from Baneasa Airport, and believe me that you would not like to run with some hundreds of km/hour on a full-of-holes-runway. But anyway…
I passed of the check in point, and then I went to the custom and at the passport control. I said that I have to declare a laptop and they said I shouldn’t. Last time when I was caring a laptop they were shouting at me to declare it. I waited in the airport for one hour and a half because I usually go there with two – two and a half hours before the departure.
There was lots of Romanians, workers or travelers, lots of Italians business men that know to buy tickets on line (good for them!). The problem is that low cost companies are offering free sitting in the plane …this means that at the check in office you will not have a sit number written on your boarding card. Because of this, when the bus came to take us to the plane everybody was trying to get in side and latter out site of the bus as quickly as possible.
But I got my sit at the window. Yupppppy! The taking off was ok, done by the book. The flight was ok too, and I liked that they gave me tea for free and even a news paper… that between us I was not able to read it because was an newspaper just with advertise. The landing was … fast, and when I am saying fast it was really so. It means that the plane started to go down with such a speed that I thought it’s crushing. But hopefully it was not, but the speed got down at the moment when the wheels touched the ground.
Here are some pictures that I took during the flight with the photo camera of my mobile.





Rome Ciampino is the secondary airport of Rome, but closer to the city that Fiumicino. I was happy because I paid 1 euro for a bus from airport to Ciampino train station and then 90 cents for the train till Roma Termini (the main train station). If I was landing on Fiumicino there was a 9,5 euro tax for a train to Roma Termini.





i see that you love to lie! probably you don’t know what it means to land. if a plane land too fast is very probably to crash. a plane doesn’t support that kind on indurance. the sits in the plane have a nomber, but probably you don’t know how you can read a plane ticket. you can see that is : for example 23c that it means if i remeber exactly the ultimate line with seats, and c is the window seat. a is the first on the “culoar”, b in the middle. next time when you want to say something….THINK! you are not the only person how have travel with them.and….bussines man in this plane? you are verry verry stupid! how can you say something like that? fuck of with your stupid composel and shut up!
Alex, first of all you dont have the right to accuse me of lying or of describing things that were not like that.
So, you are saying that “the sits in the plane have a nomber, but probably you don’t know how you can read a plane ticket”. Firts of all its not about reading a plane ticket, cause the number is on the boarding pass that you get at the check-in desk. But … as I can see you haven’t flow Blue Air at the beginning. When BlueAir started to operate they were using the “free seat” policy. So they were not giving you the exactly seat in the plane … and you could sit wherever it was free. And everybody was trying to get the best sit for it self.
And yes… business men!
About the landing… was very very fast, this was my opinion, this is how I felt it. And maybe you want to chat also about endurance during a heavy storm, thunder lights and some bumping … or a fall from 10.000 m to 6.000 m (a Greek official has died, you know, in a similar incident!).
And dont shut up me…cause its my blog!
