I think the blind thing is to ensure maximum light in the cabin (given lights dimmed down) and also as a result enable passengers eyes to be acustomed to the outside/ambient light?
I notice they also request this in daylight hours??
Rick
Just a quick silly question to add to the thread….
Why do you get asked to roll your window blinds up for landing??
Is it so all PAX and Cabin Crew are able to see outside if there was an issue?? ie engine fire??
Rick
Great report there Sam.

heres the link for the FCA 767 promo video.

I have flown on one of there 767’s to HUX Mexico..
I upgraded to Premier class at a cheap price and it was worth every penny.. First Choice sometimes struggle to fill Premier due to the cost.. so i would suggest you call them 1 week before you go to see if you can upgrade..
I managed to upgrade for £50 for 2 people.. its worth it for the extra TV programmes, FREE drinks, better food, and extra leg room, better seats…
Rick
That was quality.. it gave a really meaning that the flight crew were interested to humor the PAX, it was better than listening to the standard recorded version..
However from a safety point of view.. yes all the info required was there, but for legal reasons i would expect that there is a requirement to ensure all procedures are explained cleary???
Rick
Just thought i woul;d add to this..
Earlier this year when i did MAN-HUX with FCA on their 767, i remember saying to my partner “how cold is your case!”
As HUX is a very small airport, we got to see the baggage been off loaded and to the “so called” terminal.. (about 50 metres away from the aircraft)
everyone was saying how “damp” and “cold” their suitcases where…. the outside temp was 35’c and the suitcases felt like they had been in the fridge for 10 hours!!

A brief simplified trip report, not a 10 page boring essay

Hi,

Rick
With the weather being good im sure a A.Net, JP photographer got some shots. Give it a few days and check them both out, might find something.
Cheers Sam.. i will keep my eyes open!
Rick
Hi guys.. (i know its a cheeky request)
Just wondering if anyone got a picture of her leaving?
Cheers
Rick
yeah.
I have seen this qurestion before… the answer is ‘faster’. 😀 😀
Rick
Nice report there mate!!
Looking forward to seeing the pic’s from Singapore when you get back!
Rick
So an R6 and R7 is the same as an R5 but with a new name? Yeah It looks really good for my use think I will get one.
Thanks for showing
James
The R6 & R7 have a few addtional features, nothing which i think is worth the extra cash though.
Have a look online and do some comparing between the models to ensure its right for you.

Rick, my mother would like to know where did you take those photos?!
These were taken in Huatulco, West Coast of Mexico.
Went with FCA from MAN to HUX.
Its a beautiful place!
