Welcome to my return flight trip report on Emirates's A380! Introduction Flying with this airline at this time was perfect timing as the airline introduced the Premium Economy Class to it's portfolio not too long ago, making it more affordable for passengers who wish to experience more comfort while without paying over the odds to enjoy the premium class.

Welcome to my last part of my Emirates A380 (2023) trip report! Note: This trip report is shorter as most of the essential information of the airline's A380 can be found in my previous trip report (Part 1). Introduction Time really flies especially when you are having fun. This flight marks the end of my flying adventure in the summer of 2023, it has been a successful trip and one that I hope to do it again in the near future.

"The air was our element, the sky our battlefield. The majesty of the heavens, while it dwarfed us, gave us, I think, a spirit unknown to studier men who fought on earth. Nobility surrounded us. We moved like spirits in an airy loom, where wind and cloud and light wove day and night long the endless fabric of the changing sky.From this exalted eminence we surveyed the earth--an earth grown suddenly remote and insignificant, so vast and overpowering was the dominion of the sky." -- Cecil Lewis, S

Departure from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum At 2:30 pm, I notified museum staff that I needed to return to my airplane. I was escorted outside by a docent who was supposed to have led the 2:30 pm Reserve Hangar tour, but was available because no one signed up for it. Yes, I missed an opportunity for a one on one tour! But I also needed to be airborne at 3:00 pm or else amend my flight plan and arrival time with US Customs in Ogdensville, NY.
