As you can imagine flight to Jeddah have many pilgrim passengers and it was the case with my flight of course:




Before I boarded I asked the gate agent (who seemed to be a supervisor and did not participate in boarding process despite he could as he had a separate desk) to confirm that my baggage was successfully loaded (as EY kindly tagged it all the way through JNB in Moscow DME). To identify my baggage the agent supervised me to low ground area (outside the terminal near the aircraft) where I confirmed my bag. I did not make pictures there as I was afraid this is not allowed and some one would not like it.

The bird (772) for today:




The lovely boarding screen



Let's now talk about the cabin.

The both aircrafts I flew on were quite old (you will see later)




The business class section on many aircrafts is just 2 raws, the configuration was 2-3-2. This flight was full in J, do not remember if economy was full also.







The seats are relatively standard (NW, SU on old 332 or 333 are similar seats), the seat remote also did not show any surprises.





As well as the Video remote control.




The entertainment system menu:




The inflight magazine:




The amenity kit (I will show the content later) was a Ferragamo unisex bag (well the plastic bag says 'unisex' for J/C class). The bad itself looked much better than those offered by other airlines.





Before we move to next section, you can see how old the aircrafts are, cabins at least.
