Once on board, I noticed a cabin crew was serving champagne on a plastic cup and was pleasantly surprised I was given one, I suppose because of the occasion (New Year's Day). Announcement was made by the Captain about our flight which we would to expect some turbulence especially along the way but no mention about the flight delay.

The cabin was run by the chief purser and four cabin crew. When he escorted the two passengers to the aircraft, one of the cabin crew gave him a cup of coffee and wished him a nice evening before they closed the doors again. In the cockpit were three flight crew: two pilots and a flight engineer.

Look at the cabin ambiance, I am a definitely a fan of these colours. A starlux cabin crew was preparing the flight for departure. I should be able to do a video call but if there is turbulence, I won’t be surprised if my phone “fly". The IFE screen of the Economy Class compare to the Premium Economy is slightly smaller.

Damp Lease is which the lessor (owner) provides the aircraft, maintainence of the aircraft and flight crew. However, cabin crew and insurance will not be provided. The airline that is leasing the aircraft will provide its own cabin crew and will be trained before being allowed to work on these leased aircraft.

Looking at the skies, it was a complete opposite from my arrival, the skies were filled with clouds with some angry ones from the distance, I was expecting some turbulence on this flight. The Captain made his announcement and informed us about some whether ahead of us especially during take-off and we can expect some during our descent.

After take off, the ride was generally smooth but there was turbulence from time to time but the worst was flying over Bay of Bengal near India. This is seat 46A, I moved to this seat just before we started the descent into Frankfurt.

For most parts of the flight, it was smooth with just a bit of turbulence during the way out of Changi and on approach to Shanghai. Once we started our descent, the cabin crew appeared and at least they did their job by checking everyone is buckle up before they made their way to their seats.

Anyway, the service on board both flights were great, the crew were professional and they were able to communicate in English. I find it strange that LATAM does not offer WIFI on their aircraft at that time, maybe in the near future, but their entertainment system is descent. This is one of the examples.

Since these aircraft were already installed with Aeroflot's cabin interior and configuration, the Indian airline decided to make some minor changes and that also means the airline didn't have to wait long to take delivery of the 6 aircraft. With a light load in this cabin, I went to explore some of the seats.
