A321 NEO Noise
I went to Prague a week or so ago, first trip on a BA A321 NEO .
I was in row 7 just ahead of the engine which seemed quite noise on the ground and pretty moisy on take off. Didnt have the buzz saw noise at noise abatement but it was for amodern aircraft pretty noisy, low growl sound in the cruise.
I know the engines are different but the NEO seemed a lot noisier than my return on a regular 320
Mind you the barking dog in the hold noise seems to have gone on the NEO .
Any one else had a similar opportunity to compare.
Other comments on the flight, the outbound on the A321 was absolutely jammed, comfy ride, v impressive take off at LHR . Even with reduced traffic we still trundled all the way round London at 6000 Ft on a Dover departure not climbing until well beyond Biggin . Leavign Prague, not many Pax at all , a sad quiet airport with no national carrier with CSA's demise' we climbed straight to FL350 no hint of breaks in the climb.
Using some Avios for business class to get the extra bags we needed we got a very good (for an airline) full English in and out . Seemed very popular with the other pax.
And nice to fly again after just over 2 years
