[@AviationAdam]

Thank you!

Couldn't help but notice that there was NO safety cones / roping surrounding those engines at the remote stand of this Boeing 787-9 aircraft, pretty sure most airport's with aircraft at a remote stand have some type of safety equipment around the engine area!., Awesome flight review there AviationAdam🛫👍

[@AviationAdam]

Thank you! That’s very true, I didn’t notice that until you mentioned it. They didn’t do the cabin check before landing properly either, but they were over-cautious with keeping the seatbelt sign on for hours, long after the turbulence had stopped.

[@eulero75]

at Fiumicino airport they ALWAYS put the cones.... in this case it is a very unique error

[@eulero75]

in long haul flights I always ask for the corridor seat, in short ones the window seat

Just got back from a NEOS flight (737-8) from Luxor to Milan Malpensa. Not suitable for travellers over 1.80 metres tall. I'm 1.92 and I'm still in agony! I now won't go on any flights longer than 2 hours. Can't afford the posh seats and I can't get an exit row seat because I'm deaf. Utter misery. Last year I went transatlantic by ship, an altogether much more pleasant experience!

[@AviationAdam]

I’m 1.88m and it can be a struggle on some airlines but I usually just put up with it. Maybe try sitting in an extra legroom seat that isn’t an exit, there are some airlines which just have a wall at the front of the economy cabin. I’ve done a few transatlantic crossings on cruise ships, very enjoyable!

When did you took this flight

[@AviationAdam]

The date of this flight is in the video description.

[@francescodezulian6002]

@AviationAdam thank you, i asked you beacause i take this plane in June, and now it doesn't fly. I see on flightradar that the last flight of this plane was like 5 months ago.

[@AviationAdam]

@francescodezulian6002 Yes I think you’re right, the aircraft has been grounded/parked for a while. I noticed that when looking up the aircraft info.
