You want confirmation that the air vents really are missing? If I was going to post some lies on the internet, the first thing I'd be doing is reducing my age by 20 years, then adjusting my golf handicap
Do check out the
video review for the evidence you seek - I promise you there is no CGI involved
In the meantime, avoid row 6 on the A320s.
I wasn't accusing you of making it up and haven't got round to watching the video yet (your write up was quite detailed anyway), just as no one has mentioned it before it seemed odd so I was wondering if it was just an oddity with a particular aircraft or a fleetwide enhancement.
e.g. at LGW there's a single A320 (G-MEDK) that has the window covered over in the first row as the aircraft used to have a wardrobe there and they never reinstated the window when they removed the wardrobe.
