We were up at 6.45 for our Edelweiss flight LX8285 to Zurich. We had breakfast at 7.30, which was fine. We checked out and paid our drinks bill, and caught the Tui bus pickup at 8.10 - very punctual.
We checked in our bags, went through security and then waited ages for our gate to be announced. The temperature in Funchal is 16 degrees, but it's reported to be minus 3 in Thalwil.
Our flight was on time and took three and a half hours. We had breakfast on the plane which was OK. Flying over the Alps was quite spectacular. We landed on time, got our cases and then took a taxi home. There was still some snow on the ground and the temperature was indeed minus three. But our apartment was warm!
