Wiesbaden; Friday, 23 September, 2022

After the last experience of getting a cab over to London City Airport I’d left quite a bit of extra time, in the end it turned out to be too much and I ended up arriving with more than 90 minutes to spare before my flight.

Thankfully the inbound flight was quite early so they decided to start boarding quite early as well and pretty soon I was in my seat on board ready for departure.

The plane was parked virtually at the end of the runway, so they didn’t start pushback until after the safety briefing had been given and everyone was in their seats, then it was less than 90 seconds from starting the engines to powering down the runway.

A smooth flight later we landed in Frankfurt where I had a quick journey through the airport. I had originally planned to take the train to Wiesbaden as it should run every 30 minutes and only take about 35 minutes, but due to engineering works all the lines were closed and consequently I had pre-booked a taxi to meet me at the terminal and whisk me into Wiesbaden.

The journey took a little over 20 minutes, most of it at quite eyewatering speeds on the Autobahn, and pretty soon I was all checked into my room and turning in for the night.
