Cool beans.

I didn't care for the interiors without the full complement of overhead bins. They look roomier, but people gotta put their stuff somewhere.

The last trip I was on before the world shut down, I was on a brand new airplane (I think it was an A350) and in business class it only had overhead bins over the outboard seats. Feh.


I never got to experience the rolling carving station level of service.

I do think that one picture with the flight attendant standing next to a cart -- and a fairly wide cart at that -- was in a much wider aisle than most planes have today. I think the caption on that one is all wet.


It certainly was the end of an era when they stopped putting pianos in airplanes. That would have been a great job, eh? Piano player in the on-board lounge on intercontinental flights. I have friends who are jugglers on cruise ships. I think the airplane gig would be much cooler.
