For a long time, Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas has been promoting how the airline “won’t have cabin crew uniforms,” but rather Riyadh Air will “have cabin crew fashion, and wait till you see the fashion that we have.” What do you make of Riyadh Air’s new uniforms?

On board were two flight crew, five cabin crew and 106 passengers. Zürich Airport has six runways (10/28, 14/32 and 16/34). Generally speaking, during the day with calm winds, runway 14 is used for arrivals and runway 28 is used for departures. Runway 32, cleared for take off. Compasses are amazing!

Photos of the cabin I find the cabin crew's uniform and the cabin interior matching. The Boeing 787 cabin is easily recognised by the electronic dimmed windows supplied by PPG Aerospace. I was fortunate to be one of the first to board the aircraft and that allowed me to snap some photos of the cabin.

This time, both of the engines were started after pushed back so no PTU (Power Transfer Unit) - 'barking' noise was heard during our taxi to the runway. It took a while before the seatbelt sign was turned off and the crew started preparing for in-flight service. The 2 hours flight in this cabin was certainly comfortable.

Do remember to your place your reservation before the deadline of 24 hours before the flight of departure as it would give the kitchen crew some time to prepare your food before being delivered to the aircraft. The cabin crew on board will prepare your food before serving it to you. For my flight, these meals were the options.

The airport currently has 2 terminals in operation with a 3rd terminal currently being built and has 2 runways 05L/23R and 05R/23L, with a 3rd runway being built to manage the increased traffic once the new terminal starts operation. Look at the cabin ambiance, I am a definitely a fan of these colours. The view from my seat.

With 2 runways, (12L/30R and 12R/30L), both runways have sufficent runway length to be able to cope with the heaviest and biggest aircraft, the A380 and Boeing 747-8F. The cabin crew on this flight was certainly better than the previous flight, the ones I met in the lower deck were friendly and helpful.

So for the pilots to communicate with the cabin crew, they need to do so by the telephone. In-Flight Snack During the flight, the 2 cabin crew came around and distribute snacks for us.

On my next flight, the nice crew asked whether do I want the can.

For business class, they take up the first front rows of the cabin with the middle seat blocked and have a better legroom space of 32 inches.

But, you’re thinking, wouldn’t the “welcome aboard” spiel by either the pilots or cabin crew have given things away? More than once… In 2013, a Southwest 737 destined for Branson, Missouri, instead ended up at a small general aviation field nearby, touching down on a runway less than four thousand feet long.

Looking around the cabin, I noticed this set of cabin crew looked stress and I can understand as they were kept quite busy on this almost full flight. After the engines were stabilised, we taxied to runway 20C. Finally runway 20C/02C was opened that means less taxing for the flights in and out of Singapore.

It can be things you notice, habits of ATC, a routine that dispatch does, runways that get closed, weather habits at certain airports and so on. Talking to inflight or cabin crews in a way that is pleasant and encouraging. Data makes the world go round. The company desperately needs data, all kinds of it, good and bad.
