The disadvantage of our cheap flight to Hanoi (approx. 165 EUR) was that this fare was only valid from the Hungarian capital Budapest.
For the positioning flight to Budapest we booked Lufthansa flight LH 1338 from Frankfurt. Boarding was carried out today at gate A02 from 12:20 and we then took the bus to the parking position where the A319-100 (D-AIBD) with the christened name "Pirmasens" was already waiting for us.
The aircraft was very well booked. At check-in we couldn't change our seats for a reason I don't yet know. So we were automatically assigned seats 5B and 6B. A seat in the centre! I was lucky though, because after boarding was completed, seat 6A remained free and so I still had a seat by the window.
Fifteen minutes after the start on the west runway, a small snack consisting of a pasta salad with mini poultry rissoles and grissini was served. This was accompanied by a coffee and still water. The flavour of the salad was rather subterranean and the grissini was incredibly dry.
The co-pilot touched down the Airbus A319 in Budapest on time at 14:07. After a short taxi we arrived at the gate. We then travelled by bus to the Hotel Ibis Aero.
