Awesome! Which seat did you film this from?
Would you recommend A or K seats for LHR-MAD if one wants to get a nice view of the City of London?

From 8A. I recommend you sit in a K seat for views of London inbound. I would have been in 35K but got a free upgrade.

I'd recommend a private thread on slack, etc. FT posts are too easy for corporate teams to review after the fact, should any wrongful accusations be made by the crew members or the few other paying customers who aren't in the mood for anyone talking on the plane.

Just so you know, the safety card in 8A was already missing when I sat down.

Hmm.. When Air Canada rolled out their 787-9 on launch date, they were forced to delay a flight for 3hrs due to a few missing safety cards.

I assume everyone on tonight's flights received the following pre-flight email?



Enjoy the flights...Now less than an hour until take off for the pre-party plane!

Safe travels.

Funny enough there were a few spare safety cards lying in front of 1A yesterday and the crew were kind enough to pass them on to me as souvenirs!

Forgot to mention, the door on 15K wouldn't lock open this morning so pax was asked to move during take-off and landing. It may have been fixed by now though.

It’s just a ton (30 or so?) FlyerTalk users trying out the A350 on the same flight.
