I felt the lights came on a little soon shortly after 0600 OK time, and there was plenty of chatter amongst the stewardesses which should have been curtailed...On the matter of lighting, it may be possible to fit different lighting schemes to future aircraft to avoid the lurch from black to searchlight which seems to afflict older aircraft.
Ain't it just so, whatever airline, if it's not FA chatter it's the searchlights at 6am. On a red-eye there's no customers, just prisoners.
Wonderful report.
