We’re still barrelling towards the Christmas period – but the news and views don’t stop. Let’s look at what caught my eye in Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond
In this week’s “Pictures from an iPhone”, we’re at the Basílica de la Sagrada Família (Basilica of the Holy Family)- The unfinished Basilica that started construction in March 1882. And still “a work in progress”.

Pretty Pictures
Next Week
I’ve got a bunch of snapshots from my Barcelona Day-trip coming up, along with some very different passenger experience notes. And as usual, I’ll be keeping an eye on the world of passenger experience, routes and networks as we barrel into the Christmas travel season.
Until then – safe travels!
