Remarks: Looking down on Airbus' A380 Flightline at Toulouse, it's quite clear who the largest A380 customer is, despite them already having a large number in active service. Note on the far left the second-last airframe for Singapore Airlines, now not far from completing their order. Thai Airways' 2nd A380 can also be seen.
Remarks: On final approach for Bristol Airport (BRS / EGGD) arriving from Toulouse on EZY6140. You can see almost all of the city of Bristol, and in the background the old Severn Bridge crossing into Wales. The decent visibility hopefully signals the end of dismal summer weather for the UK this year.
Remarks: En route from Singapore (SIN) to Hong Kong (HKG) on Cathay Pacific's evening CX716 flight shortly before the dinner service had commenced. Of my 4 flights with Cathay Pacific on this trip, this was by far the most enjoyable.
Remarks: Late afternoon at Changi's Terminal 1. A JAL 763 (JA654J) in its rather plain new clothes prepares for an evening departure to Tokyo HND. Taken from the window of B-HNQ before our evening departure for HKG on CX716.
Remarks: A window seat on row 67 of Cathay Pacific's 747-400s tends to guarantee a great view. We've just begun our descent towards London Heathrow (LHR) as CX255 from HKG.
Remarks: Somewhere over the Mid Atlantic on our way from LHR to JFK on VS45. This is one of Virgin's "Configuration 4" aircraft, with 33 economy seats taking up the rear of the upper deck. It was a nice bonus to be sitting at the top of these stairs even if we weren't allowed to use the bar below!
Remarks: Early morning - very short final onto Heathrow's 09L, passing the recently opened Terminal 5. Pleasant to be on one of Emirates' newest 77Ws on what was a rather long night back from Johannesburg.
