VFTW:" I did get to board the plane early to take photos. "
AM:" Before the boarding commenced, media representatives were given the opportunity to take a look inside the aircraft and take a few pictures."

With striking contrast I meant more details other than photos of seats and lavs. Hope this clarifies it

We both know that miles/points bloggers -- not so different than some set of FT personalities who may or may not be miles/points bloggers -- are groomed by the organized powers that be in the travel space. Whether it's made explicitly clear by all or not, we both know that not all beneficiaries granted official/corporate favors of sort do a great job of disclosing the relationship related to the content which they supply/control.
