Once again, an announcement from the flight crew was made but it was difficult to hear what he was saying as it sounded like another voice in the background (could be the other pilot talking to the ATC) and also the cabin crew made some important announcement including a reminder to us about the consequences if we fail to follow the rules.

The cabin crew generally was nice and I interacted with one asking her what she thinks about this aircraft and from her response she wasn't enthusiastic about working on it and I can understand why. On this flight, there were 3 flight crew which probably means one of them was undergoing training. The city view of Singapore.

The report shows that the real risk is for the cabin crew. The pilots enter a four-digit code into the transponder, which might be assigned by air traffic control to identify that particular aircraft or might be a general code showing what type of flight it is. Anyway, the seat belt light appeared. Stay safe folks.

The Captain made his announcement and informed us about some whether ahead of us especially during take-off and we can expect some during our descent. By then the aircraft started its descent when the cabin crew were released from their seats. We finally broke out of the clouds when we started our descent into Athens.

My question is isn't the boarding pass enough to verify my seat assignment and any other information the staff or cabin crew needs. Announcement was made in both Japanese and English and the pilots gave us an update on our flight during cruising. I like the interior of the cabin, finding it to be comfortable and cozy.

Once on board, I noticed a cabin crew was serving champagne on a plastic cup and was pleasantly surprised I was given one, I suppose because of the occasion (New Year's Day). At this point we started our descent and we can feel the wind shaking our plane quite a bit especially at a lower altitude. That's a good idea!

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. Finally before started our descent, our female Captain came on and updated us on our arrival and weather update and with a prediction of light turbulence during our approach.

What else I noted about this flight is the cabin crew made a birthday announcement wishing a 17 years old passenger, a happy birthday (I wonder whether she received anything from the crew - SQ does offer birthday cakes but you need to request in advance) and our first officer on this flight was a female.

The cabin was run by the chief purser and four cabin crew. When he escorted the two passengers to the aircraft, one of the cabin crew gave him a cup of coffee and wished him a nice evening before they closed the doors again. In the cockpit were three flight crew: two pilots and a flight engineer.

second duration likely caused the injuries to crew and passengers. The incident was attributed to the swift transition between climb and descent and not the actual change in altitude. The rates of climb and descent were not excessive, being only half of the typical rates during normal take-off and descent. to positive 1.5G

During our descent to CPH, there was a sudden and noticeable increase in altitude, and the cabin crew announced that our landing had been aborted. Yes, thats an extreme example, and that was a close call, and the Southwest pilots did a stellar job. Why could traffic cause go arounds?

At Ahmedabad, 220 passengers boarded for the nine-hour flight to London manned by two flight crew and ten cabin crew. Another theory is that the aircraft was correctly configured for take-off but, as they climbed over 500 feet, a flight crew member retracted the flaps instead of the landing gear, causing a sudden loss of lift.

I find it strange that LATAM does not offer WIFI on their aircraft at that time, maybe in the near future, but their entertainment system is descent. As for the cabin, it is very basic, no IFE system or WIFI maybe that's why the airfare is cheaper. I was able to enjoy a couple of movies on these relative short flights.

Since these aircraft were already installed with Aeroflot's cabin interior and configuration, the Indian airline decided to make some minor changes and that also means the airline didn't have to wait long to take delivery of the 6 aircraft. With a light load in this cabin, I went to explore some of the seats.
