After 3,5 days of a trip probably too short, we take the road to the airport of Vagar for our return towards Paris. The departure is planned at 9 am, we arrive at approximately 7:30 am.

We already told you on the way there: the international airport of the Faroe Islands, located in Vagar, is not big. The arrival level is the same as the departure level. We go to the check-in.

For the last minute booking enthusiasts, a ticketing counter is always available.

Some check-in and baggage drop-off counters, shared between the airlines (SAS, Atlantic Airways and Wideroe) that serve the archipelago.

Our aircraft, an A320 neo, arrives from Copenhagen on the morning flight (daily). You can see the aircraft moves from the check-in area.

The boarding pass is stamped with the airline’s signature colors. A rare fact is that the exact fare class is even shown.

After a quick stop at the duty free, we can board.

The cabin is almost identical to the outward journey. The flight is supposed to last 2h35.

As I take my seat, the captain invites a colleague and myself to take a seatin the cockpit for takeoff.

We push back on time. Our charming pilot did not make his whole career with Atlantic Airways: he first worked for WOW Air in Iceland.

Short taxiing… we take the turnaround zone to position ourselves at the beginning of the runway.

Takeoff on time, but the cloud ceiling is very low. We won’t see much in fact.

As in the first leg, some catering was arranged for us. Given the early hour it is a breakfast.

The offer is very satisfactory. We find a big omelet, granola with yogurt, a slice of bread and cheese, and what to make a continental toast with jam.

The flight proceeds normally.

The in-flight magazine offers some very special entertainment such as the history of each aircraft’s name…

Soon enough, we reach the Channel, and a perfectly clear view on both sides.

The winds were favorable to us because we will arrive in Paris ahead of schedule. This will require us to make a rare lap around the racetrack over Normandy to wait for clearance to land.

Touchdown under the radiant sun of Paris.
