A week and a half ago, I headed back to Istanbul for a couple days before heading on to Greece for the first time. Of course, with that comes some flights and here's a quick photo set from the five flights. More flights on Lufthansa, although mysteriously I received flight credit for these flights, despite the fact that they were booked in the L and E fare buckets which aren't supposed to give any. I won't be looking that gift horse in the mouth..
Stockholm - Istanbul via Munich
Stockholm to Munich (Lufthansa):
The first flight and very good weather. The view of Stockholm is always nice and now the ground is bright green, from all the plants (which are also blooming for allergy sufferers). A standard flight, with a sub par meal: It felt like they rushed it out so they didn't have time to cook. The result was what can be seen after the break....

Four and a half more flights after the break, along with inflight meals...

Munich to Istanbul (Lufthansa):
Munich isn't a place that I fly through too frequently, so it was nice to see it and see the countryside near the airport. While climbing I shot a photo of some odd mounds, which were rather interesting. The meal was better and one of the menus that seems to be gaining popularity: Red curry chicken. I've had the same thing on a SAS flight out of ARN, so it must be getting pretty common now.

Istanbul to Athens (Aegean)
Our flight a few days later was on Aegean, which was the first time I've flow with them. They seemed nice enough (and the cabin crew, all women, looked like they dressed more like they did in 60s than today's airlines), but the drink service took a long time. We were on final descent and they were still picking up items.
