Always wanted to try a DAY trip like this(I know there is wiser out there),part of the "fun" was getting everything to fall into place,the other and more important "fun" was to fly in a 787.I knew that LAN flew their 787 from MAD to FRA so it was a case of using FR to MAD and LH from FRA back to DUB with a bit of plane watching in between!!!
Sunday 3rd of May was the day for the trek with a 0615 departure from DUB,no bags so a simple case of use of the mobile boarding pass( for all flights) and up up and away!!!
MAD was a pleasant experience,plenty of the usual suspects,and of course South America was well represented. Boarding the 787 was efficient,the model in question CC-BBA was the first 787 in the Americas.I certainly liked the new Boeing interior,and enjoyed the flight to FRA.Certainly the large windows on the 787 are a great asset to this aircraft.

Clever planning and a lovely variety as a result! Well done.
Love the engine shot.
Any idea about the 767 hiding behind the Ethiopian one? Looks like a private-flyer.

Sound like a good day out 8)

The 767 is EC-LZO,i will try ( again) and upload a few more images. All in all good day out,a long one might I add,but thats another Boeing box ticked,next is the Finnair A350 to be investigated!!!!
