Had the pleasure of travelling on the new bird twice this week from and to EDI.

Very impressed with it seemed a step up from the cramped RJs. A bit too much recorded voice for me though, it was almost as bad as FR. Thankfully we were spared the trumpet on our early arrival.

We did seem to have longish flares on landing, espically at EDI this morning, we took quite a while to touchdown. I presume it takes the guys a while to get properly used to the handling quirks of a new aircraft type.

Incidentally (and I know it's the wrong forum), the A318 landed as we were boarding, I counted roughly 26-28 getting off it, that's not a bad load factor at all.
