On runways used by international commercial flights, a threshold must be present (we’ll look into that later in this article). Non-precision runways often look similar to visual runways but feature threshold and aiming point markings. A runway threshold identifies the beginning of a runway.

Admittedly this is a very high threshold, so youd have to be loyal to United for a long time to earn that (for example, youd need to fly 100,000 miles per year for 40 years). Global Services members may receive tarmac transfers How many United Global Services members are there?

What I like about the interior of the terminals at this airport is they offer good view of the tarmac which allow great opportunity to take good photos of the aircraft. Finally we reached the threshold and we were on our way. Another Condor's Blue livery (Sea livery) was spotted, this is an Airbus A321CEO. Goodbye Frankfurt!

We crossed the threshold just a few feet above the tarmac, and our intrepid pilot announced, “This is what I call the Tennessee waltz.” Like a sailplane, we glided silently in a lazy, downward spiral until we were lined up with the runway at the correct altitude for our approach.

We reached the threshold of runway 27. As our flight landed at the international terminal, we were informed that we were to disembark the aircraft by the stairs, that means we get to see the aircraft on the tarmac and the airport bus would transport us to the domestic terminal. Let's check what movies are there.
