Happened to see Sam Chui at Heathrow T2, had a brief hello and a chat!
Photos of my trip.

Tarom A319

IFE screen modern and wide.

Ex-KLM 747-400 combi P to F in the distance- left for USA on 3-4-22

LHR T5 - we had an unusual taxi for 09R from Terminal 2-crossing the active runway and taxiing to it from south side - to get ahead of other departures.

Quite tasty lunch- very fresh tasting salad, warm bread roll, grilled chicken and vegetables, potato mash and coffee mousse.

I was quite surprised to see how big Istanbul Airport was (compared to the old one). The runway distance from terminal reminded me of Amsterdam's Polderbaan runway. while enroute:
Antonov An 124-100


MEA A332

TK A333 to KHI (operates as PIA codeshare)

The departure was delayed 30 minutes due to traffic (everyone else was landing and taking off)- we stood still just off the active runway waitign for takeoff.

IFE on A333

Dinner service- Hummus, bread, rice and curried chicken/ veg, chocolate mousse.

Night set- socks and eye masks

Tehran night view-hopefully can visit one day soon.
