It’s the weekend before the clocks go back in the United Kingdom… and somehow, I’m back in the country too.
Time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
It’s been a quiet week on the blog as I’m recovering from a long-haul trip. We’ll be heading to much more normal writing soon. But for now, enjoy this week’s highlights

Next week
As things start to settle down a little at Economy Class and Beyond towers, we’ve got more than a few things in our pipeline, with some snapshots (providing I remember how to write them), as well as the trip report (which is well into the I’ve got an idea how it looks).
Additionally, we hope to have some semi-regular coverage as well.
So until then, happy landings!
