Airbus A340-300

I know, I know.

And it's funny because the gentleman next to me, he had the A340-300 safety gun.

He's like, oh man, what a bummer.

I wanted the 600 and then there was a lady next to him and said, you want mine? I'll give you, I don't care.

Around the same time, 98 passengers were arriving at the airport and checking in their bags for the long journey to London Heathrow.

The aircraft they were flying on was a four-year-old Airbus A340-300.

The A340 was a modern aircraft with an excellent safety record.

Operating as Flight 24, this aircraft would fly through the night across the North American continent and out over the Atlantic Ocean before touching down in the UK the next afternoon.

I am very familiar with that turn-and-burn kinda thing, especially with Lufthansa.

I think I did JFK, Frankfurt, and then immediately turned around to San Jose on their A340-300.

I remember that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, when they offered that.
