[Kerwin at Passrider.com] Two A330-900neos - 2 Different Experiences

Hi Fellow Traveler,

I hope you’re having a great week. Happy Solstice Day (June 20, 2025).

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read my words. It is appreciated!

If you’re new to the newsletter, welcome. If you’re a regular reader, thank you so much for reading my words each week :-).

I’m back from the Paris Airshow trip and it was quite an adventure. I flew over on TAP’s A330-900neo and back on Condor’s A330-900neo. Two different experiences. Will have a video and a review coming.

In Paris, I took one afternoon to explore Notre Dame and Versailles (video uploading). Here’s the Notre Dame video -

I also had a chance to check out the Museum of Flight in Seattle on my way back as I had an 8-hour layover. It’s been a while since I’d been there so it was a good one.

The city of Seattle has changed a lot since my last visit I couldn’t walk anywhere downtown without dodging the homeless. It’s sad that the cities dont’ take better care of the homeless. Sigh…

I flew back on Alaska Airlines, new Boeing 737 MAX 8, so I had a chance to check out the Seatac Airport and boy, it’s a mess. They are making a lot of changes though. It was my first time using the Immigration facility there. it’s so far to get from the departure gates to the Customs and then Immigration areas. It’s an odd airport as you have to pickup your bags before Immigration. It’s typically Immigration and then Customs.

I took the train to the bus to get to the Museum of Flight and then took the train all the way back to the airport. It’s a lot of time to spend on public transit. So if you’re in a hurry just take a shred ride or a taxi. Here’s a video about how to get from the station back to the terminal. Give yourself extra time if you choose this routing.

The Seattle area was actually very cool given that is mid June. It was in the sixties! Meanwhile Paris was 82F. Europe is having a heatwave at the moment.

Check out my YouTube channel for many new videos about the Paris Airshow. I’ll be adding more over the weekend, once I get some more rest.

I hope your week was a productive one whatever you did.

LEGAZPI , PHILIPPINES

I visited this remote town in the Philippines back in 2018. I highly recommend the place. Go check it out and see why. https://www.passrider.com/legazpi-city-philippines/

That’s all I got.
