Another one from my collection of random things/kits.
That's nice. Where's it from?
A very small French airline called La Compagnie. They fly New York (newark) to Paris. They used to fly to London (Luton) as well but cancelled that route.

Andddd?
My bad, I forgot to post the inside.
Bvlgari everything inside, from lotions to a really nice sized cologne bottle.
They stocked this up full. Threw in deodorant shave gel hair comb an actual real toothbrush.

I rarely fly.
I just like watching them take off and stuff.
In continuation of the 747 love, here is Lufthansa's 747-8. I get great spotting views in newark.

I know on paper the 747-8 is 3 feet longer than the A340-600. But I'm still blown away every time I see that 340. It looks longer than the 747.

I just flew home on a 340-600 on Saturday. VERY nice plane. I've flown 340s before, but not the 600. It had something I'd never seen before. All the bathrooms (for coach anyway) were down a flight of stairs, so there were no bathrooms on the passenger deck.

I grew up on O'Hare flight paths. It was a yuuge deal when the then-new 747's flew overhead. It was to see such a big plane fly by.

If we're talking private jets, I do have a soft spot for the Gulfstream G650. So sleek, refined and elegant, like an athlete in the air I did a little spell around Europe recently, and wandered close to some airports known for private jets... been quite fascinated by them I must say! I spotted the info on this site about which airports were most popular for charter flights, so managed to see quite a few nice jets Paris Le Bourget and
London Luton were my fav airports.

Flew one last month from Brussels to Berlin, and then from Berlin to Munich. I liked it.
I generally am not a huge Airbus guy but seats are comfy and exit row seating is yuge.
I also find their entertainment systems are pretty 5/7, for the plebe seats especially.

Speaking of Icelandair, their mechanics in Iceland went on strike for a few days. Canceling their ops during that time.
They are losing customers quickly now that Wow has expanded their US operations.
Was reading Wow is now the largest (by passenger count) Icelandic airline.

I've read some pretty shitty reviews on Wow. I wonder how bad they really are. They are cheap. I suppose you get what you pay for
