Berlin + Nuremberg

The morning after Thanksgiving, I took a 6:30 flight to Berlin. Because it was so early, I couldn’t take a train to the airport & had to take a coach bus. There ended up being an accident on the M5 so we had to go the long way around, which got us to the airport late, which meant I ended up having to jog to the gate & managed to get there like five minutes before it closed. Phew, close one! I was flying Ryanair, which was seriously disturbing. I know they’re low-cost, but so is EasyJet, & EasyJet still feels like a normal airline. Ryanair plays advertisements during the entire flight, and when we landed, we actually bounced back up into the air after the tires hit the runway. Scariest landing of my life. I thought maybe it was just that one flight, but my roommate (who I was meeting in Berlin, she left the day before) also had a really bad landing, so we concluded that Ryanair pilots just can’t fly. Sometimes it’s worth splurging on a slightly better airline in exchange for not having stewardesses trying to make you buy stupid things or feeling like you are going to die on arrival.
