Take off delayed accordingly. - -On board, hand baggage reveals itself to be rather large: kind stewardess finds -a place, but two lines away from me. My place is 31B, aisle, behind the wings. -Carrier is an AirBus A330 (200 seats). 31A (window, on my left-hand side) is an -Indian woman summing up expenses, converting Liras to Rupiahs (so I know she's -Indian). Little talk. Economy class is rather impressive: no large seats, not -so much space for your legs, but... a private color LCD screen for TV & movies -& real-time cameras! You pick the channel (video or audio only) via a -hand-control or the touch-screen. RTCameras are: front view and downward view. -Pretty useless in mid-flight, but quite spectacular on takeoff and landing. Why -not a rear-camera? Air sickness? Air turbulence due to the jets? (BTW, 2 -high-pressure jets under the wings) - -ETA: 5h20, so two movies. From first round: Erin Brockovich, Mission to Mars, -The Tigger Movie. Second round: Sleeper (and I was sleeping... maybe I'll watch -it from Singapore to Sydney, there should be the same movies). Non-movie -highlight: Dilbert, the cartoon. Actually, bi-dimensional is better: animation -doesn't do good to Adam's characters. Language selection is not so good: you -can choose between three languages, which can be: English/French/Italian, -English/Arabic/Whoknowswhat, English/English/English . And the only way to know -is trying! (OK, first language is usually English, so that's a sure point...) - -Of course many (perhaps too many) people didn't get how to work the screen. And -didn't figure out there were clearly-written instructions on the booklets, -either. Helped out a couple of them, the others will learn by themselves. - -Dinner: chicken or lamb? Lamb, please. Chicken was caprese. If I wanted -Italian-style food, I'd stayed in Italy (already heard this one, huh?). Lamb is -Arabian-style: rice, baby-corn, spices and stuff. Pretty good (and mind we're -talking airline kitchen here!). Tuna fish, spiced and smoked (?); pretty good -also. Salad. Cheese. Sweet cake. Wow! - -OK, trying to sleep. Not so much of a success, but I get some (needed) rest. -Oh, nice toilets; wasn't it for someone who forgets to close the door when he -gets inside... go figure. |
