We’re now into the dark winter, with the Christmas decorations packed away, the fairy lights off and the grind of day-to-day life returning. However, there are always light points – such as this.
Welcome to Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
Winter sun between rain storms – Leamington Spa.

Next Week
With the trip report done, we’re back to our usual coverage of things in the world, be it strikes, passenger experience, new aircraft orders and other things that catch my eye.
There are also a few things that are going on in my world, that will be affecting the blog. I’ll be able to say more about it next week, but things could be very different for a few weeks.
Until then, stay safe and happy landings!
