It’s the end of the week in the Commonwealth Games host city of Birmingham, so naturally, I’ve escaped the Birmingham bubble for the day.
However, this blog goes on.
Welcome to Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
From the Medals Ceremony of the Rhythmic Gymnastics Group finals.
Hamburg Trip Report
In news that is amazing to me, I can finish a piece of writing. Here are the last bits from the AIX Trip report.

- There’s a coach around here, I swear…
- Innovation Continues
New Aircraft News

Sustainability in the Air
- Shell to supply Lufthansa Group Sustainable Air Fuel – More SAF drops in an aviation fuel ocean
- Lufthansa Group offers “Green” fares – with some frequent flyer benefits – would you pay extra for frequent flyer points as well as offsetting your carbon?
Capacity is an issue still
- Amsterdam Schiphol extends passenger cap into October – And there are dates when the capacity cap will breach already.
Routes and Networks

Next Week
With the Commonwealth Games coming to a close and it being August, we are indeed in the summer odd stories. We’ll be here covering the usual things that keep me interested, as well as keeping an eye on rail strikes.
As for the Finland trip report – it depends on how much time I get – although I have to start that one soon, as I’m saying Hej to Helsinki again very soon.
Until then, happy landings!
