It’s that time of the week again – we’ve hit the end of the week and almost the end of July.
But it’s time to look back at a week at Economy Class and Beyond.
Even after in passing, Ozzy Ozborne can’t be held down. Celebrating the first Ozzy Day, 22nd July.

It’s been a quiet week at Farnborough – and it shows in the order books, as well as reports of a lot of time between briefings and releases.

Next Week
We’re deep into the summer holiday season in the United Kingdom, Europe and the Northern Hemisphere, and such I suspect headlines will be fewer than normal as people take well-earned time off and airlines get on with the work of shifting people from A to B.
Although I’m sure there will be plenty of room for shenanigans. There always seem to be,
One thing that will drop this week is my views on the MacBook Neo a few months on and how I’m getting on with it. For those who have those heading back to school. Expect it during a quiet day, and when I get the images shot for this review.
Until next week, Happy Landings!
