It’s Sunday again, so it must be time to look back at some of the week’s events in Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
Where was I? In The Village, Portmeirion near Minffordd, Wales – and there’s content coming your way soon.

Next week
It’s back to normal in Economy Class and Beyond land, as I plot an escape from the UK after the 19th of July. On top of my plotting to escape, I’ll be continuing the coverage of the latest travel changes, as well as routes, networks, passenger experience news and anything else that catches my eye.
Until then, Be Seeing You…
