Airbus A340-600

A sketch from the seat of an Airbus A340-600. (Tim Baynes)

The compulsive urge to draw from seat 15A… on Airbus A340-600

Saturday vs. something flight home. 7x glass champagne. Euphoria and fatigue courses through me. Eyes water. I am going home. We all relax into our 11-hour homes. 306 of us on this flight. Safety checks and bright crews speak quickly.

On Thursday, our delicious sandwich lunch. Tuna, cheese, ham.

Total trip... 13, 012 miles.

Tim Baynes has recorded his impressions of more than 20 years of travel in Moleskine notebooks. Each week The Passport blog will bring you a new sketch from his collection.
