After the winter it does

But im actually looking forward to summer...i feel like sitting in some 40 degree heat with a UV index of over 13...hopefully when we transit in Doha for 1.5 hours next year we can go outside..that should be interesting

also how it shows the 'fake' painted windows.

Fake painted windows? Please explain???

[David Wilkie]

Look at the windows either side of the top door and the ones below the Q
They are grey in color.

They're not fakes - it's just that there are galleys or bulkheads or similar against those windows so they are permanently blanked off. The window frame still exists.

what i meant but that term, is that on the forward half of the plane, there is grey coloured windows.
when i say fake, i mean that these are used to balance the aircraft out and not look like it is missing windows, please correct me if i am wrong.
hope that that a good enough explanation?

Yes, pretty annoyed with that as well. Took a day off work to catch it on it's last planned flight to Adelaide, what a waste. Interesting that noone seems to know that they are cancelled until the aircraft is actually due in.
