It’s the end of another week at Economy Class and Beyond. Let us see what’s happened in the world that I covered this week…
It’s been a rough week to put it nicely. If you’re interested, I’ll write about it sometime. But for now (and after two negative lateral flow tests in two days), I’m back up and running. Ish. Mostly ish.

Next Week
I’m still working through British Airways latest passenger experience announcement (amongst other things), as well as getting a few things back into line (I have two laptop reviews currently in the queue) and trying to sort out the last bits of some outstanding trip planning.
As well as that, I have my usual range of news, views, commentary and wit to keep you all entertained.
But until then, stay safe out there.
