Charles Ryan's Flying Adventure

The aircraft was on final approach to SKG. By then the aircraft started its descent when the cabin crew were released from their seats. By the time they are done, they started collecting the thrash but during our descent, we encountered some rough turbulence and the hardworking crew had to hold on.

My aircraft, VT-YAK had a long layover at this airport as the previous flight took place the day before so therefore a set of crew was needed to be transported to the aircraft. After getting up from my seat, I followed the cabin crew who led me to my new assigned seat and to my relief it was a window seat. I can only speculate.

The Captain made his announcement and gave us update on the weather on route and for the announcments by the cabin crew, it was done in 5 languages including the Taiwanese dialect. One of the cabin crew was waiting to assist any passengers that requires assistance. This is the second cabin of the economy class.

A British pilot, Freddie Bosworth set up this airline and today it is trying to be as competitive as possible, giving Qatar, Emirates and Etihad Airways some form of competition. I don't think the pilots on my aircraft were happy about it. On my next flight, the nice crew asked whether do I want the can.

What else I noted about this flight is the cabin crew made a birthday announcement wishing a 17 years old passenger, a happy birthday (I wonder whether she received anything from the crew - SQ does offer birthday cakes but you need to request in advance) and our first officer on this flight was a female. Welcome back to the U.K!

This was my flight's final assigned gate. I spotted another green stripes livery on this A330-900neo on final approach to this airport. 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).

About 40 minutes on the aircraft, we were finally on our way, no updates from the Captain until later part of the flight. Cabin crew came around to do the BOB (Buy On Board) service and this time, we noticed someone ordering water and wasn't charged so we did the same. Below) We were on final approach to runway 27L.

285 passengers and 11 crew members were on board the flight that day. The take-off and the en-route climb to the planned cruising altitude of 37,000ft (11,280m) was uneventful, with the first officer as the flying pilot. Although 111 of those onboard lost their lives when Flight 232 crash-landed, 185 survived.

Reader Will asked me the following question, regarding a go around (often referred to as an aborted landing, missed approach, or rejected landing) that he experienced on a flight today: Today, I had an interesting experience on flight SK502 from London Heathrow (LHR) to Copenhagen (CPH), and I wanted to reach out with a question.

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.
