As we circled, lowering our altitude, five planes came in to land, literally one after the other.
Our plane taxied to the terminal. I was standing next to him The Boeing 777, which I had never seen up close before. The plane hit me the diameter of the turbines was particularly impressive due to their size.
Since the flight from Yekaterinburg was delayed by 20 minutes (usually), and between flights I had only an hour with finally, I almost ran to the gate, where it already ended landing on Lisbon, however, without much hope...however, he managed to do it and even I wasn't the last person to get on the plane. The same can't be said for my Luggage, who can't run and stayed in Istanbul. But more on that later.
