Italy. And after a nice trip & staying in Berlin there should be problems with the flights when I am leaving for a nice free time period – let’s not name it holiday cause I will still be working some time.
I am flying for the second time with Blue Air. The plane should take off around 18.30. But because the aircraft that should take me to Rome its arriving with a delay from Heraklion (strange coincidence!) we are taking off at 19.30. About the flight there are no many things to be commented. Just the thing that when I’ve made my check in the woman (sawing my passport full of stamps) said that she gave me “a special sit” and the crew members will tell me what is about. After the boarding, one of the crew members and she told me that my sit is next to the middle “exit door” and she asked me, in case something will happen and there should be an evacuation, me to become “part of the crew” to take the door off and to help everybody to get out and then to leave the plane with them, at the end. Cool, right??? 
I didn’t took the “door” off from its place but there was another bad thing happened. The captain, after he started the landing, he said that we will arrive on the big airport of Rome (Fiumicino – Leonardo da Vinci) not on the small one where the flight should landed after its established route. There were some weather issues and the small airport was closed and all the flights (Ryanair, Easyjet, Carpatair) were re-routed on Fiumicino airport. Anyway, we landed. We find out that there was a bomb threatening on Ciampino airport.
On the airport a completely mess because off all re-routing. We had to wait for 2 and a half hour to take our luggage. But we were one of the lucky people.
For example people from Alitalia flight AZ207 coming from London were not there to take their luggage, and most of the bags were taken from the luggage lane and putted in a corner of the hall. People coming from Istanbul with a Turkish Airline flight were there for 7 hours waiting for their bags. When bags came they started applauding and yelling happily. In the end the bags of all re-routed flights started coming out, but all together and everybody had to be very carefully what piece of luggage will take.
It was almost 23, Italian time, when most of us left the airport with a train that was going to the Roma Termini (Rome’s main train station). It was too late for catching any train. Hundreds of “lucky flyers” were preparing for a very long night in a big train station. Women with children, teenagers, full families or workers coming from Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Romania where waiting to reach their destinations with 5 am first trains.
I’ve found many things about one woman from the Blue Air flight. She was with her sister that lives in Italy for almost 15 years old. Both of them were interesting persons. Was nice I had them with me and time passed easier. I even interact with some british people that asked me an apple for their child and, believe it or not, they knew that Bucharest is Romania’s capital.
