Wheels up at 8:53. (And a note to please check previous quotes against the Otter.)
Press section of the new plane resembles a first-class section with spaced-out pairs of seats. Each seat comes with a built-in reading light and large pop-up touch screen. The area around what your pooler assumes is the front door is curtained off so we don’t have eyes on any other part of the plane. More descriptions of the plane tk after we land. (We will not have wifi in the air.)
