TL;DR - not every flight (report) can be fun.
Time to return home after a quick trip to the deutsche capital!

Flight is at 1855, I arrive at 1700. BER is an annoying airport, as the the priority queue is regularly actually slower than the non priority queue, because of the possibility to book fast track.
Its all quite painless (10 mins), and I heard to the farrrrr end of the airport to the lounge for a Bierchen (shame its Becks!)

Flight is looking about 65% full, however club is about 80% full. I see the plane is already here and sadly its an annoying bus gate! Ill head down around 1800, after one last Pretzel 🥨
1810 bus loading begins & we move quick 1820 and we begin front and back loading. Lets hope this means we can move fast with bus boarding today :)
Fueling and loading is still happening. I dont want to jinx it, but the food smells good
1830. Second bus arrives & doors closed by 1840.
1845, 10 mins early, we push back :)
1855 we are on the runway! Quickly into the skies, as Im not reading that book any more I am weighing up between White Lotus or Greys Anatomy.

1905, drinks & food service from the front begins. The food I could smell was obviously the remnants of previous meals . This cold chicken salad doesnt smell of much. Shame.

1920 All done.
1930 sad that my champagne isnt constantly being topped up, even as the crew walk past my empty glass a few times.
1945 one kindly offers. I dont think Im the only one with empty glass, as a bottle makes the rounds.
2000 the last hour felt long. I feel like we are flying slower than normal. We are told its 30 mins to landing. Thatll get us in ahead of schedule, but wayfinder shows its B gates 😖
1915 10 mins to landing as we fly over Wembley Stadium and the sun is shining very brightly.
1930 touchdown. Bit of a boring flight, and a trip report I found dull to write (much less read!). Lets hope my F flight on Wed to Boston provides lots of material.. see you there :)
