As an aviation geek,perhaps the most interesting piece of the Pope's visit to the US were his flying arrangements. He chartered an Alitalia jet on the way out, whereby the media onboard paid astronomical fares for economy seats, or while he had the trade class cabin to himself (of course the media onboard wasn't actually paying for the economy seats as such,but rather for the rights to be flying with the Pope).
For the rest of his journey within the US and flight home, the Pope used an American 777-200. That's an interesting choice, or especially as it was a three cabin 777,which isn't precisely American's most modern aircraft.
American has achieve together a pretty snazzy video approximately the "experience," including the adjustments which had to be made to the plane in preparation for the Pope, and what it was like to sail with him,etc.
Here's the video:The post A Look Inside The Pope’s American 777 appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
