I have worked in aviation coatings for over 17 years. Paint peeling is very common. When I worked at repair facilities, I made a living off repairs and full repaints of jet aircraft. Speeds of hundreds of mph are increased as the air speeds up to flow over surfaces such as the wing and fuselage. Edges typically peel first. After just five years of regular use an aircraft paint job will look like a 50 year old car, for example. Extreme temperatures pose another problem which has to be addressed by aviation coatings. Aircraft go from temperatures in the negatives to 100 plus within minutes. Typical warranty on paint by manufacturers are at most three years.
Haha, sometimes - when they do promotions - their prices really feel like that. However, no. This is a full fletched airline that is partly owned by Lufthansa Group and is in the process of exiting SkyTeam alliance and entering StarAlliance thereafter.
Yes, my hand was tired and it was not steady enough. A lot of footage was not useful. I was trying to get some sleep in, but the turbulence kept me awake just when my eyes shut 😅 I have a few ones to post that are short due to the short routes.
Wonderful trip report. Liked and subscribed. The cabin was old, and the only thing that was up to date was the remote control :) 7 hours of sleep was insane! Meals looked really good.
Horrible herringbone ... I like a nice view out the window. Fabulous food (except for gnocchi 🤮). Even though menu is not as extensive as some, there is something for every taste and the presentation was simple & elegant. Nice to see you on screen ... you are evidently one of those hateful people who will always look young 🤣. Thanks for another enjoyable vlog.
It will be a pity if the jets come to Rodrigues, which looks like a lovely island...it will spoil the ambience. Great snack box for such a short flight! Very enjoyable vlog
I do not recall it being cold. Also, I think there are additional blankets in the closet. I always travel with long sleaves and most of the time with long trausers 😬
@@user-vr2qq Thank you! Do you mean the taxi time after landing in Malpensa until exiting the plane? ait is not that long. Certainly not as long as in Istanbul (which is 20 mins or more). I would say maximum 15 minutes (if I remembered correctly).
Hardly the Hawaii of Europe. Doesnt have neither the warm climate or the dramatic/spectacular/luxurious beauty/diversity. The Hawai of Europe would be Madeira islands (algo portuguese). The longest domestic flight in Portugal is Porto - Lajes by Ryanair and Azores airlines.
Hardly Madeira since no volcanos and volcano craters there 🙃 Azores were for me a more pleasant and all-round experience and the temperatures are pleasant + the flora is really interesting. Madeira is nice, but was not the highlifht for me. I rather liked Porto Santo which is called Portugeese Caribean 😇
