Hummm, back in Paris Airport again. I feel bad because I was not able to see the city. Well, I saw it....when I took the train from the airport going to Gard du Nord to cacth my train to Belgium. But that's it. My first time in Paris, that was in 2002, when I applied for a visa at the Canadian Embassy. It was raining and I was only there for a day. And now, I am in Paris because I have to fly from here, lol. Anyway, I had fun updating my blog although there's no Internet so I'm just saving it on word document and just copy paste it when I got Internet connection.
The aircraft that will take me to Abu Dhabi is an Airbus 340-500.
The A340-500 was introduced as the world's longest-range commercial airliner. It made its first flight on 11 February 2002, and was certified on 3 December 2002. The A340-500 was the world's longest-range commercial airliner until the introduction of the Boeing 777-200LR in February 2006. The A340-500 can fly 313 passengers in a three-class cabin layout over 8,650 nautical miles (16,020 km). And recently, Etihad Airways become a customer.
Although aesthetically the wide-bodied Boeing planes are more beautiful than the Airbus wide-bodied aircraft, the interior of these planes is a different story. The A340's seat configuration is 2-4-2 (and so is the A330). It's more confortable.
My seatmate was a French guy who was going to work in Abu Dhabi. It's his first time to fly. So he's kinda funny. But he's charming and I was his interpreter everytime the FA's would ask him something of what he's going to eat and stuff. I also taught him how to use the IFE which is by the way a nice one.
The take off was smooth and uneventful. The FA's did their job without being too friendly nor cold. I just slept and sometimes wold talk to the French guy once in a while. It ws a night night and I could not take pics of the interior because no batteries for my camera.
