Hi,

**Special Edition**

Just got back home from a short holiday in Malta (3 nights). I booked the holiday two weeks ago using Ryanair's fare finder, after finding the flights for just £12.99 each way. This gave me the opportunity to try to catch some air to air shots. I chose seats 8A outbound and 7A for the return, keeping in mind the angle of the sun. Here's what I managed to catch:

5/1 (BOH-MLA)
Just after departure and crossing the English Channel the first contrail is visible.

Near Paris we crossed a Eurowings A320 routing DUS-LIS, 2,000 ft above us. Unfortunately I was using a bad choice of camera settings but managed to salvage a few shots. An incredible sight which gave me goosebumps

Near Turin a Transavia B738 2,000 ft below routing LYS-TLV.

Delta A333 routing FCO-ATL 10,000ft below between Corsica and Italy.

RTN journey coming soon

8/1 (MLA-BOH)

The flight back had a lot more empty seats. My original seat was 7A but the window had some scratches on it, so I asked the flight attendant if I could move and they said it was OK for the cruise. So I chose seat 5A. As the flight wasn't full we were able to climb to FL400 and many other planes were cruising below us.

Not much traffic for the first hour of the flight but as we hit the Alps some contrails became visible.

Also some nice cloud formations. I hoped to catch an aircraft with the mountains in the background, but no luck.

Then just after we passed the Alps, an Air France RJ85 came into view at FL330 routing CDG-TRN. This was quite hard to spot against the clouds below.

Two contrails in the distance racing towards the Alps.

We then turned 45 degrees West and the sun was shining on my side, allowing for some interesting back-lit shots. Here is an Aer Lingus A320 following another contrail on the same airway above a sea of clouds.

It was quite hard to take photos into the sun because it made all the dirt and ice crystals on the window visible.

And finally, just south of Paris an Air Canada A330 passes 3,000 ft below us routing YUL-GVA.

I hope you enjoyed the photos.
Regards,
James.
