One Mile at a Time

JULY 7, 2025

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 safety demonstration was then performed, which was entirely manual.

However after pushing back while on the way to the runway, I managed to see some deicing action on an Easyjet A321 aircraft. After an hour of flying, we started our descent into Barcelona. We made a few turns during our descent to follow the traffic in preparation for landing.

Unlike the A320neo, this aircraft is configured with IFE screen entertainment for every seat and lie-flat bed for the business class cabin and this product is familar to me as I had experienced it before with Copa Airlines and that flight was also a long flight for a narrow-body, about 23 minutes longer than this flight (5 hours 37 mins).

About 40 minutes on the aircraft, we were finally on our way, no updates from the Captain until later part of the flight. Cabin crew came around to do the BOB (Buy On Board) service and this time, we noticed someone ordering water and wasn't charged so we did the same. At this point, we started our descent into LHR airport.
