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. Anyway, for the rest of the flight, the approach and landing was a smooth affair.

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.

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. On final approach onto runway 20R. This is due to convection.

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. Below) We were on final approach to runway 27L.
