I'm beginning to think I may have had what might turn out to be a unique 2020 long haul experience....well at least for a chap whose never really grown up from being a teenage plane spotter

In late May, my repatriation flight from CPT-LHR was in BA B747-436 G-CIVO. 4th last ever BA 747 pax service as it turned out and my 58th and last ride in a BA B747 going back to 1978. In late November, the first leg of my return flight home to CPT, (LHR-DXB) was in EK A380-842 A6-EVK. So not only a 747/A380 long haul back to back, but two RR powered 4 holers back to back

The EK PE product looks very smart and when combined with the A380 flying experience, will, I am sure, be popular in a world with returned long haul travel
