flight 200 - into the Netherlands
den Haag, 2025.11.21
We took off from Romania today on the shortest taxi I can remember. The pilot was keen to make up for a delay at the airport so we "drove" out to the runway in a hurry. I fell asleep briefly, somehow, and then when we landed the pilot was making some moves on the taxiways that I'm not sure the airport could have been happy about. But all's well that ends.
It was, by my reckoning, my 200th flight. I splurged by buying a seat next to the emergency exit, and by not attempting to get any work done.
Three good things that happened today:
- I'm in the Netherlands for the third time. They say that's the charm.
- I got to play a fun game at the airport with some colleagues. It was a Dutch game called "Beverbende" and while I suppose I'll never see it again it was good fun. (I lost every game, as with all card games.)
- The flight was pretty good; I got a seat with legroom for about ¥2,100.
