Welcome to episode 5 of Av Talk. I'm Ian Petchenick and I'm here with

Jason Rabinowitz, hello.

As always.

And we're back for our latest installment

in the beginning of May.

And we've been doing a bit of traveling,

and Jason's about to head off to Japan and in in

style but a different style than you originally thought.

Relative style.

So I booked a flight to Japan, Tokyo Nareda via Taipei a couple months ago and I was really excited to book my first revenue segment on in A350 and it was going to be in business class.

I was pretty excited about that because China Airlines has one of the nicest looking cabins

in the sky. But a couple months down the road they ended up swapping out

the brand new A350 for one of the absolute oldest 747 400s currently flying in the sky right now and I was a little

bummed at that at first I mean I wanted to really you know get on an A3-15

experience at first hand for a real flight. But on that old 747 they have an old first-class

cabin which they have discontinued, but since I was supposed to mean business class they have bumped me up to old first-class,

so I'll be in 1K in the nose of the 747 so I'm not as

mad anymore but I'm really looking forward to it.

So downside it's no longer an 8350.

Upside you've got the view out the front of the plane basically.

Right, it's going to be pretty great, I'm hoping.

There aren't all that many 747 400s left out there in the world.
