Taking the slow boat.

Currently in the middle of a much delayed trip to Italy. Basically a couple of days in Como, then two weeks in both Venice and Rome. Flying with SQ. The trip out was on a 777 (which I didn't like) and a 350 (which I did). It will be a 350 for both sectors home.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on SQ’s use of the seatbelt sign!

Over cautious? Or you would have done the same? etc.

We came home on SQ last week BKK-SIN-BNE. The seat belt came on only once on each sector and both times there was obvious turbulence. But both times a pilot came on adding cabin crew continue service but exercise caution. maybe they are starting to get over that bad incident.
And the SQ 777 J seat is the worst lay flat J seat I have experienced.

Seat belt use wasn’t excessive, though crew continued to work. There were never any bumps, but without seeing their radar, I don’t know whether the use was appropriate. And that’s my thinking re that 777 J seat too.

The accident report is taking a long time to come out.

You can always fly QANTAS - hear tell they offer a quality product - just sayin'

Leaving Venice today, after a lovely 11 day stay. Busy every day, and yet I’m sure we didn’t scratch the surface. Ran into a rather loud tourist in Como who said he’d “done” Venice in 2 days. Fairly predictably from New York.

They weren’t in the running at all. Sadly perhaps. I have zero interest in flying on a maggot to get to Perth, nor am I likely to fly on a 787. Plus they don’t actually go anywhere much.

Thats a great photo on the canal above @jb747 - esp. the light balance. Much set-up? Or just innate talent?

 

[jb747]

If devoid of talent, a bit of luck helps.

A few more Venice pics.

Fantastic pictures. Seems a bit more than luck is responsible.

Off to a new city now. Today was scouting spots for some dawn shoots in the coming week. Our Sistine tour has been cancelled. Apparently the King of England is visiting. You'd think he'd share....
