It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
From self isolation to enjoying a coffee out, whilst working… or trying to work at Caffe Nero, New Street, Birmingham
Travel Changes and Restrictions

- British Airways introduces at hotspot map – A map to find out what possible restrictions you can encounter when travelling
New aircraft news

Pretty pictures
Next Week
I’m busy getting a lot of the final parts of a Trip Report written (I’m a little out of touch of writing them after 10 months not writing one), so expect some writings over the next few days. On top of that, I’m going to cover my usual mix of passenger experience, new aircraft news – as well as keeping an eye on some of the UK travel changes.
Until then, stay safe, test often and be kind to one another as we head into one of the most interesting weeks ahead.
