All great points!
My experience the other day was superb! The aircraft was immaculate…felt like a new airplane inside. The flight was smooth and the landing was one of the best I’ve ever experienced in an airliner.
The Wi-Fi service was also really good…quite fast and easy to get connected to.
I also enjoy the view afforded by the windows in the DC-9…so much more viewing area than the small windows on an A320 or CRJ (yes I know the CRJ is smaller, but ERJ’s have great windows…)
In any case I was glad to be able to get what I assume will be my last flight on an original DC-9. I was up near the front so the cabin was pretty quiet, and I don’t think most on board would have guessed they were sitting in an airplane that was over 30 years old.
Great experience I’ll try to get some pics up soon.
