Turkish Airlines orders 200+ Boeing aircraft.

Welcome aboard Ethiopian Airlines flight ET707 from Frankfurt to Addis Abeba, operated by a 7 year old A350 which feels twice as old on the inside as the seats are extremely worn and extremely loud music is being blasted through the speakers during boarding.

This is a big load of crap and yet another case of Simon losing his mind.
His whole argument is based on the idea that there was a dual engine issue before someone cut off the fuel supply. Except that there is no indication of that anywhere, and the report explicitly states the contrary.

A security issue with Alaska Airlines (opb Horizon) flight AS2123 from Seattle to Walla Walla (fun name) has caused major disruptions at SeaTac, which is down to one operational runway and was completely shut down for a good 45 minutes.

Welcome aboard Ryanair flight #FR5789 from Faro to Nürnberg. This flight is operated by Malta Air and one of their 737 Max 8200 aircraft, my first time on this variant. Legroom is meh, but at least I have a good wing and engine view from 8A.

That was a fun flight on the Edelweiss A340-300 down to Faro. They even served a complimentary snack, which was delicious! I’ll now enjoy two days of sun and beach before heading back home.

Welcome aboard Swiss/Helvetic flight #LX1165 from Stuttgart all the way to Zurich. This E195 was delivered to Helvetic a year ago and has a very nice interior, including two USB (A and C) power outlets at every seat.

For a couple of moments I really thought I was, yet again, watching a plane crash live on Flightradar.
Thankfully they didn’t and the flight seems to have landed at Tampico airport.

Welcome aboard my shortcut home, which is Finnair flight AY1401 from Helsinki to Munich. This A319 also partly identifies as an A320, because the exit sign on my side points to a nonexistent second exit.

The Comac C919 is a fantastic aircraft. Most of all, it’s probably the quietest out of the new generation narrow bodies.

Welcome aboard China Eastern flight MU2151 from Xian to Shanghai Hongqiao, operated by a Comac C919 today. The plane is very nice on the in and outside, windows are quite big and at a comfortable height and the seats are also comfy. The only downside is the small overhead bins.

Welcome aboard this evening’s Tibet Airlines flight TV6032 from Lijiang to Xian, operated by an extremely rare Airbus A319neo, out of pure coincidence of course 😉
Legroom is great and so is the wing and engine view from 6F, row 5 has unlimited legroom but this is fine too.
