Nifty cloud views! It's really great to have the speed and altitude indications and a map in the corner. Is that airspeed or groundspeed? Do they have to avoid high-altitude jet streams (always coming from the west of course)?
Hi. Yes I'm really pleased to get the speed and altitude. On this occasion I believe it was to avoid weather more than anything as I believe they would take a more direct route across the gulf. The cloud views are really great! The southern states do bring the best formations!
Fact check: Nothing personal with the crew but why would I do something I didn’t get paid for or as a courtesy when these airlines charge passengers for using every inch of the airport much less the aircraft. Professionally speaking, they should hire someone to handle all the business inside the aircraft including shutting the window shade.
I feel jet lagged from watching this video.

That’s a real shame about the LHR video
It is. Sadly it was a jam packed flight with no windows left. Disappointing but that's the way it goes!
