John Walton 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺

Hello! I'm John Walton, your friendly neighbourhood aviation journalist — @thatjohn on Twitter.

I'm an independent journo specialising in the passenger experience, or #PaxEx — that's what you and I see when we travel by air (or on the rails, or on the sea).

That means seats, cabins, service, food, beverages, wifi, airports, and everything that makes an airline tick.

Do ask questions! I love sharing my knowledge about this most fascinating of industries.

Home for me is a small village in central #France, where I've lived for five years, but I'm kind of from everywhere.

I'm about to head off on a six-week trip to #Japan, which on Twitter I used to call #thatjohninjp — but here I'm going to use the #johndoesjapan hashtag.

Follow along for the flights, trains, hotels, gardens and everything else Japanese!

…although if the @Mastodon app doesn’t have decent image resizing and uploading, I may well not be putting the videos on here!

@thatjohn @Mastodon It’s strongly suggested *not* to add video directly to Mastodon posts, and link to it instead (YT, Vimeo, etc).
Reason is that uploaded content is hosted and served from the Madtodon instance you’re a member of, which in turn increases their cost of hosting and operation serving same (especially if a community run and funded instance). #TheMoreYouKnow

@thatjohn I’m not totally sure that’s you John - it needs more purple. But I dare not suggest trying painful yoga moves to attempt bringing the purple loafers into frame. 😄😉

John let's rate transport based on MSW episodes: is the bus (murder takes the bus) or plane (the corpse flew first class) better? Trains don't count because they are tainted by Jessica using them to go see Grady.

@Anngav thanks for this proof of identity toot 💯

Clearly the answer is FIRST CLASS because it is a holodeck simulation for captain Janeway
