Lufthansa landing at Traian Vuia (LRCL - LRTR)

This should have been a standard, normal flight to Someseni Airport (LRCL/CLJ), Cluj-Napoca, Romania, but things weren't that simple. The forecast predicted for Cluj was sunny weather but on arrival we experienced light rain, low clouds and fog. Visibility was bad. After two attempts of landing resulted each in a missed approach we had to head for Traian Vuia Airport (LRTR/TSR), Timisoara, Romania for a backup landing at the nearest Lufthansa base. During refueling the flight crew called back at Lufthansa for further advise. Lufthansa decided to give it another try at CLJ, so, after 1h10' in TSR we headed back for CLJ. This time managed the crew to land safety and I was happy I still had chances to catch my next flight to El Prat Airport (LEBL/BCN), Barcelona, Spain.

boy i sure love when babies cry in the airplane. on a flight to izmir from timisoara we stopped at cluj and bucuresti before we went to izmir and the baby cried on the whole flight PLUS it was sitting behind me!!

There fas a family and the wife (with the child) sat right next to me (on the left). Due to bad weather condition we could not land at Cluj (see video comment). But this family where outraged by this situation. Mainly because the plane was not fitted for who knows what for babies. If it where for them we should have crash landed in Cluj so they get earlier home.

The airplane is a transportation device, not a baby nursery and people don't get it.
