Single day Domestic status run - Colombia

[juddles]

Again for opusman - sorry, but best shot I have! In all the A320 family Avianca run three rows of four-across J seating. They are not a bad chair, the IFE system is ok, and as all the sectors are so short, it is nice way to travel. Even on the 25 minute sectors they serve coffee/juice/wáter including in economy. Business also offers whisky or rum.

Thanks! I'm flying J LIM-BOG-CTG-MIA on AV in May so interesting to know what it will be like.

Anyway guys and gals, that´s it for now - four flights, 8 ¨qualifying sectors¨, and I am on my way to reclaim my *Alliance status. I truly apologise for the photo quality - photographer I am not. But hope there was something in here of interest to each of you.

Great pics and fascinating TR.

What sort of work keeps you in Colombia?

docjames, like everything in Colombia, it is a ¨bit complicated¨. Basically I am a fanatical greenie that is trying to save the world by teaching better mining practices. Translated: I work in the alluvial gold industry - not the cowboy stuff that they do shows on TV about - I teach zero-mercury techniques and gear and sedimentation-prevention that is actually applicable to the small-scale and artisanal miner. There are lots of save-the-world organisations, but they tend to be full of great ideas that do not actually work in practice. Colombia is a beautiful country and the devastation caused by gold mining is destroying the place - I am trying to change that. Simple

Try a 2 mtpa CIP plant. Works wonders.

Only 2 mtpa? What is that, a pilot plant?

Row 1 in an A321 SHK.

Seat 1K - in the first row the screens are in the armrests.

This is the snack they managed at 6:30am on the 30min MDE-BOG run. Coffee, a wáter, and a pack of some healthy cereal biscuits. IFE has variety of music, TV shows, games.
