It’s that time of the week again, where links are collated, commentary added, and I try to keep working through my bucket of iced coffee, given the hot weather the United Kingdom is enduring this week.
It must be time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.

Time to be Revolting. Matilda in Solihull, Touchwood Centre.
TRIP REPORT: More Innovations with Hamburg.
By some magic, we settled into the normal rhythm this week for this trip report. Even your writer is surprised. Three more parts next week
AIX 26 Extras
I also got some mojo on some of the leftover bits from AIX I needed to cover. Enjoy.

Next Week
The Hamburg trip report will go into its second half of play, as there are another three parts due out next week (and surprisingly, it’s mostly written, edited and tidied). I’ve also got a few more AIX things I need to tidy and complete too, which are worth the wait… I hope.
On top of that, we’ll have our usual mixture of news, views and anything else that grabs my fancy – although given the heat next week, things could be a lot more sluggish than usual.
So, until next week, stay cool and happy landings!
Now. Where’s that frozen bottle of water….
It’s the Passenger Experience Week in Hamburg, with Economy Class and Beyond on the ground at the Passenger Experience Conference and Aircraft Interiors Expo, bringing you headlines from the show, announcements, and things that grab your writers’ attention.
Follow along with our social media this week for the latest updates. You can find us across most networks as @economybeyond on BlueSky, Threads, Mastodon and Instagram!
Also, remember that we are part of the BoardingArea community, bringing you the latest frequent flyer news from around the world.
