Off to the airport. My driver Mr Mansoor was hoping I was Jamie Smith the English cricketer, he seems disappointed I’m not.

I’m back and a poor #WingFriday entry through the battered window of an ancient BA 777-200 that delivered me back to Dubai last month.

Hello all. I am back! Work has taken my attention the last few weeks, the results have been amazing but I need some time for myself.

Today we have G-TNEC operating BA949, a 1 yo A321 NEO with the poverty spec no middle table and recaro’s down back.
Unfortunately no WiFi has been installed yet and the plane has an inop APU so the cabin is cosily warm on this 100% full flight.
Have two captains up front and a SFO so in safe hands

I do love a nice tram ride back to the hotel after a few little beers.

Always a great start to the day when the hotel breakfast included sparkling and beer 🤪

Tasty afternoon tea service on BA954, service wasn’t quite on form but the Hoppy Christmas beer was nice even if only one can was loaded on the flight.
Arrived into a rainy Munich and now on the train to the centre.

On the vile G-DBCC today, one of the dreaded ex-BMI A319 aircraft that still retain the uncomfortable and outdated interior.
Last had this aircraft on a flight from NQY and that’s was long enough let alone todays 2h flight. Lovely welcome from the crew so let’s hope the service wins.

Not a bad overnight flight, crew were pleasant and the IFM even came upstairs to greet me which was nice.
Slept very well for a few hours in the old club bed (I love the big BA pillow) and watched some Christmas classics on the IFE.
Upper deck is an absolute must on an A380 with the side storage.

Onboard G-XLEG, my forth time on this aircraft but finally I’m on the upper deck of a BA A380 (every attempt before I’ve been upgraded to J on the main deck).
In the fine 53K with unobstructed access and all the storage lockers.
No bubbles on the ground (DXB) but I’m ready for a winter warmer.
