ACJ350 XWB Idea

I'm not sure who would buy it, but Airbus is trying to sell private versions of the A350.  It seems like an odd product because the 747 has the most style for a head of state and the 787 is good value. I prefer the ACJ319, but the 747 looks cooler.

American Devalues AAdvantage

In a shock to no one, American announced they are changing the AAdvantage miles program. It'll will be just like, more or less, United and Delta. No real change for me since I don't fly American, but here's a more detailed analysis.
They Both Follow Delta's Moves

BA 0003

Thanks Mom for the pictures of British Airways flight 3.  The Club World London City service on a A318 had 8 passengers and 5 flight attendants. That's a better ratio than in Lufthansa first.

QANTAS A330 Sydney to Perth

QANTAS's new business suite is the best premium cabin seat I've flown domestically.  It's also better than all seats I've flown, but Lufthnsa's A380 first and British Airways' A380 first. The seats are new and go full flat. Every seat has direct aisle access and a huge TV.

Seat Fully Reclined
The A330 seats are much better than the QANTAS A380 I took in from Dallas.  Now that I am certain QANTAS knows what a good seat is, they should start refitting their A380 fleet immediately. 
Lamb Entree - Outstanding
The food was the best of my trip and the service polite and efficient.  This flight surpassed my expectations the most of any this year.

Even QANTAS uses A330 in marketing as their flagship product. The A380 is from a different era.

Sights in Tucson

There's not much to look at in Tucson airport. It's new, clean, and over built. Outside there terminal, there are many interesting aircraft, like a Lockheed L-1011, a fleet of CRJ's, and the Rolls Royce engine test 747-200.

There's Also Saguaro Cactus Blooms
