Nothing that really jumps out at me for my return flight from Seoul to Zürich on Swiss (up-front with the posh folk). At least they allow you to pre-order the meal in the app now. I might go for the grilled chicken which is the only Asian option here. #paxex

Since my upgrade bid probably won't clear due the flight having filled up out of nowhere (was pretty empty up until last week), I shall familiarize myself with the Premium Economy menu. I'm thinking Beef and the mushroom crepe. #avgeek #paxex

Amakusa Airlines' "Mizoca" ATR42 is by far the cutest and quirkiest plane combo I have every been on. She should be on every #avgeek's bucket list.

Now that I don't chase Star Alliance Gold anymore, I'll get to fly Korean Air and Japan Airlines (the real one and not just regional subsidiaries) for the first time. I feel dirty and excited.

Lufthansa really knows their way to an #avgeek heart ✈️♥️. Turns out on select flights passengers receive a gift to commemorate their 100 year anniversary and my MUC-EDI flight was one of them!!!! And the gift is a model plane in the special centenary livery!. I nearly wet myself when I realised 😂

Salad with a side of salad. For the 2 hour flight from ZRH to EDI up front in posh class, Edelweiss served a caprese salad with a side salad and a mango dessert. It was tasty but there wasn't much of it....and salad with salad? Also, no Biberli for the posh folk - posh chocolates instead. #paxex

It's funny how these so-called low-cost holiday airline subsidiaries are the ones still offering a full(ish) service. Lovely wee sandwich with falafel and sweet chili sauce. Not very Swiss I guess but tasty! And the Biberli was a great end to the Edelweiss flight as always! #paxex

It's not often that you see an Austrian Airlines 787 coming into Glasgow! I was just looking at pictures of this particular aircraft the other day and thinking how naked the tail looked. Thanks to @flightradar24.com for existing 😘 Managed to grab my camera just in time! #avgeek

Beware when flying Turkish Airlines: IF you want to credit flight to a different Star Alliance FF programme BUT also have TK Miles&Smiles account (for whatever reason) - beware of this tick box when using the WiFi onboard! ALWAYS read the small print! Don't make the same mistake as me 🤦🏻 #paxex

Treated myself to a wee upgrade on TK for the IST-EDI leg. Flight was operated by an A321Neo. Pretty much the same seat as UA PE (but with much more recline I think). I like this seat! #paxex

On the delayed BKK-IST TK68, dinner service started around 1am BKK time. Had the dory fish which was lovely. But the real stat was the pumpkin chickpea salad. Gorgeous! For breakfast, 2 hours before landing, I went for the waffles. There was something fresh and light about both meals. #paxex
