After a day full of work i rushed to Munic Airport to get my flight home to Paderborn/Germany.
At the gamma ray passenger control i was stopped because and forced to buy a plastic bag pack and pack my liquid cosmetics into it.
At this moment my thaughts were .. o.k., fine - this makes flying even safer... - we will see.
I got at the gate on time, but the plane was delayed...
After 20 Minutes delay we could board. The bus then was stopped for a minute by the airport fire patrol.
We got into the plane and the pilot excuses for the delay. The plane has left the hangar with delay, but he promised to speed up and arrive in Paderborn on time.
After the start i looked out the window and recognized the right landing gear door still open.
A look at the left side showed a closed door.
I expected - some minor probem - the pilots should see on their panels. And right - after 10 minutes flying the pilot told us due to the problem he has to turn back to munich.
I was a a little bit frightened cause i hoped the landing gear itself would work well.
After the landing we was told to keep our belts closed because the pilot was unable to steer the nose wheel and had to control the plan with the brakes only.
After some minutes rolling at the airport we were able to left the plane and enter the bus, wich brougt us to a terminal. There we've been told that the later plane to paderborn has not enough capacity to take all the passengers, Only some frequent flyers wehre called to take this plane. The others were booked in the plane to Muenster, and where driven by bus from muenster to paderborn.
So i got home after midnight with a 5 hour delay, but still healthy and happy.
Today i googled about this and found stories about some frequent landing gear and engine problems with this plane type. Should I worry now, because I regularly travel to Munich? Or may i enlarge my safetyness by packing my liquids in 2 plastic bags?
