MADRID to BOGOTA
So this was a flight where I wanted to do an overnighter but I couldn’t figure out which to do. I wanted to either fly a 787 or an A350 so I searched around a little on FlightRadar24 and found this flight. Madrid, Spain to Bogota, Colombia. This is a really busy flight connecting two major Spanish cities across the Atlantic with 5 to 6 flights per day, now less due to a little thing you’ve probably heard of called Coronavirus. The airlines that fly it are Iberia, Air Europa and Avianca. I decided to use Avianca because their 787 livery is hot, and because they use Avianca 11 as the callsign, and I love low numbered callsigns. So at 10:30 PM last night, I made the decision to fly it. I woke up as the sun was rising over the Caribbean and followed the RNav Z approach into runway 31L. It was a really fun approach that I’ll put in the Flight Details box. Flight time was 9 hours and 11 minutes.
