One Mile at a Time

In this post, Id like to share my general takeaway from flying on this aircraft, from a passenger experience perspective. Should travelers be delighted by the potential routes this plane opens up, or dread flying narrow body aircraft on long haul flights?

Boarding narrow body aircraft through one door isn’t very efficient, but fortunately the flight was quite empty, with just nine of 16 business class seats occupied, and probably a roughly similar load in economy (in terms of percentage occupancy).

The flying condition towards Barcelona was nice and there was hardly any turbulence on this flight. After 7 flights with the A220, I can tell you how much I love flying on this aircraft and you have to give this aircraft a try whenever you can. It's not everyday I get to fly on an aircraft with green fluids all over the wings.

The airline industry is bracing for continued turbulence as supply chain disruptions are expected to constrain growth and raise costs through 2025, according to the latest outlook from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Finally, soaring demand for leased aircraft is creating additional financial strain.

As far as I know the A321neo-LR is the only narrow-body aircraft in TAP's fleet that has seatback screens in both Economy and Business Class. Fortunately, the turbulence wasn't strong enough for any of us on board to use this bag. So if you have your own entertainment, no issue at all.

About 40 minutes on the aircraft, we were finally on our way, no updates from the Captain until later part of the flight. The turbulence was not as bad as what I was anticipating and for most parts of the flight, it was smooth. Off we go, fortunately it wasn't turbulent. Unlike my first day in Lisbon, the weather was gloomy.

For the flight itself, after take off at Delhi, we encountered quite a bit of turbulence and also more turbulence happened during the crossing through the Bay of Bengal. I slept about 2 hours but I did wake up a few times due to turbulence. But it doesn't matter as by the time I was up, the flight time was less than hour to go.
