It’s the calm before the storm… but there’s still time to catch up on the week. It’s time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
It’s taken long enough, but West Midlands Metro is finally operating trams again between Birmingham Bull Street and Wolverhampton St Georges. And I’m counting that as a highlight of the week. That and me managing to finish early on Friday. That’s a highlight too.

Next week
I’m on the road next week and you can find me in Hamburg at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2022. I’ll be there bringing the headlines from the show, as well as doing a lot of research for stories that will feature over the next month at Economy Class and Beyond.
And maybe during the off-hours, we’ll be covering other headlines that I manage to keep an eye on.
We’ll be busy on Social media all week – so keep an eye on my Instagram News Feed and my Twitter Account for the latest updates.
Oh yes. I’ve also got the joy of an Airbus A319 tomorrow at a major hub airport. That’s going to be so much fun.
So. Much Fun.
Until we meet again – happy landings.
I suspect there will be two of them next week at least for me…
It’s coming up to Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg! Economy Class and Beyond will be on the ground, covering the latest news, product release and updates, interviews, as well as our mixture of in-depth coverage, research, as well as humour and madness.
