Grosjean said he was against the halo a few years ago in the video from his hospital, before admitting it's what saved his life. Scary stuff - it was the longest couple of minutes waiting to see confirmation of him being okay. Seen some pretty high impact crashes recently (Kimi in Silverstone 2014, ...

Jump to postCool report! Unfortunately I had to cancel my jfk-pek-kix and return of hnd-pek-jfk on the 748, 2 a333s and a 77W on AIr China due to covid - after reading your report I won’t hesitate to rebook with them when the time is right.

Jump to postLucky for the upguage from the A321 to a B757, as you rightly said it added some variety to it! I wonder if the 787 would continue operating after COVID-19 on LAX-DFW. Interesting anecdote of the disruptive passenger too, good to see it didn't take too long though..
Jump to postLucky you for scoring this last A310 ride! They took very good care of the oldies. Nice pictures to go along. A plan to visit Montreal last summer unfortunately fell through for me: Air Transat did have the one A310 between YYZ & YUL, maybe it was a good thing as the Formula One race just awful.

Jump to postNice trip report & pictures. I am always intrigued to see what SQ offers on their longer flights (to Europe), but for some reason it looked like the trays lacked a bit in quantity...? Maybe it is just me. Great deal on the 'broken' IFE - a little bonus I guess! Thanks for sharing.
