Departing England and traveling to Spain, I took British Airways flight 2708. This was done aboard an Airbus 319.

Seating is cramped to say the least. Although designated “business class” the seats are actually coach seats with the center seat not sold and armrests that move a few inches to the side. In terms of leg room, well, look at the photo:

Here’s a profile look at the seating arrangement:

The flight proceeded quite smoothly, with this meal served:

Cabin staff was generally friendly and helpful, but it is a difficult situation considering the cramped nature of the seating, spartan meal, and parade from coach to the lavatory. And here’s the view on approach to Barcelona, Spain.

Thankfully, this was a relatively short flight, and Spain is a wonderful country to visit.

La Rioja, Spain, panorama photos
While visiting the La Rioja region of Spain, I managed to test the panorama function on my little Nikon 1 AW camera. These photos were taken with the 6.7-13mm zoom lens, set on 6.7 side. Everything else, was done automatically by the camera. Here’s one taken from a rural road showing the vineyards:

Considering the camera did all the exposure work, it came out fairly well. Here’s another taken from a road that skirted the valley below:

It seems to be a total of about 180 degrees of view. I like this function and the way the camera performs. You can get a wider view and therefore a different perspective on the scene. And the Nikon 1 AW makes it rather easy. Take as many photos as you can!
