I'm Leaving, On a 748.

My company is sending me back to Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress March 2-5 this year, and I've happily booked my first 747-8I ride on Lufthansa out of Los Angeles. Premium Economy. Good gosh, airfare is expensive! But fortunately this is all covered.

There will be pictures, believe you me! I'm very excited to finally get to fly in a 748I.

And in other melancholy news, line 1514 RC039 D-ABYU rolled out last night. She's the final Lufthansa 747-8I to be built. As of now...
