Etihad Airways - Toronto-Abu Dhabi- Karachi (December 2011)

In December 2011, I was fortunate to find a really cheap fare to go and spend Christmas with family. Thank you Etihad for yet another great trip, at a really good price!!

You can read the more detailed version here:


Third Time's a Charm! Etihad Airways (YYZ-AUH-KHI)


Here are some photos and for the very first time videos from the trip :). Don't forget to watch in 720p (but it's not really that sharp though)

YYZ-AUH (EY 140)

Dec 6, 2011

(A6-ETH) Brand new Boeing 777-300ER http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-b777-39683.htm
















The morning light after breaking dawn





Washroom with a view






Back in my seat and enjoying the view as we fly over Turkey!!

Added some tranquil music to match the equally tranquil view outside!!It was majestic to say the least!







Flying over Iraq.



Entering the Persian Gulf





Descending into Abu Dhabi - Notice at the end of the video the little girl crying for her grandfather (seated across the aisle)



I had to actually edit the audio in this video to remove completely the little girl's crying which had now turned to screaming :(. She was well behaved though for the entire flight! We were flying downwind before our left hand turn to establish finals with Rwy 31L



Finally the final approach to Rwy 31L, and the little girl had calmed down by then



Fantastic crew of EY 140!!



AUH-KHI (EY 221)

Dec 8th


View from our Airbus A320 of the other EY Airbus A320s!!



Pushing back for our flight to Karachi



Take off from Abu Dhabi to Karachi.



Inflight Abu Dhabi to Karachi









Landing into Karachi. Due to a power outage some areas appear dark

Summer is here!! Time to head to Pearson!!

We've had days of rain, sometimes for a whole week which was pretty much depressing. However just prior to this we had a period of some sunny days, maybe two or three and that is when I headed out to Pearson. Fortunately most of the arrivals were on 24R which was great to photograph some nice heavies! Well beginning tomorrow it is going to be not the high 10s or low 20s but shooting up to the low 30 degrees (Centigrade). Will most probably be at Pearson this weekend but here are some shots from that one sunny Saturday I headed out to Pearson some weeks ago. No wonder Canadians go crazy when the sun comes out!! Of course, they find better ways to catch the sun, the beach, patios etc, unlike some like me who can stand for hours near a runway, till your feet give in or the batteries die whichever comes first :)
