The fella moving your seat was excellent customer service, suitably apologetic and did well to sell you on the moves. This kinda stuff doesn’t cost but makes a huge difference. .
That agent was really great...everything about his manner was spot on...
Very accommodating
Was gonna come and say this. Makes me want to fly with them just because of this interaction. Oh, if all ground staff were this brilliant!
It didn't make any sense because what he said and where you sat didn't match.
Well he had the fortune of being able to offer something better than what was previously had.
Another great video. I wanted to thank you Noel, my eldest son died very suddenly he was 21. The first anniversary is tomorrow and I’m not in a good place. Since the day he passed I’ve not been interested in anything just going with the daily flow of things but your channel makes me smile and I look forward to Sundays. Keep doing what you’re doing and stay safe. Take care 😊
Thank you for your kind words & my sympathy to you & your family.
I think what puts people off taking a narrowbody flight long haul is they think it's going to be 9 hours on a Ryanair flight. Arrivederci is also goodbye.
haha, that's like the "do svidaniya" in Transformers. "That means goodbye".
I suspect that might be a joke by now. He's done the same in Italy before.
Don't give Ryanair any ideas. Please.
@@halfbakedproductions7887 You can already do sort of long haul on Wizzair if you have masochistic tendencies.... ;)
NO. I prefer the smooth quiet A380, thank you. After that, a B777 or even an LH B747 will do for me. Bigger is better and quieter with a smoother flight, less bumpy for me. Which is fine. I'll let you take the small aircraft leaves more room for me in the big aicraft.
The volume of some of your voice overs in this cideo were really low and could barely hear them over the noise of other things in the video.
Was about to comment on this. No good.
His audio mixing has been hit and miss for awhile. Sometimes I'll have to turn up the volume to hear him then BOOM stock music playing at max volume.
Yeahh i have to really strain to hear it
Its unfortunate, would have been a great vid otherwise.
Absolutly right, the sound was terrible and the booming music dreadful. I wouldn't like the window seat if you have to climb over a stranger to go to the loo !
with the A321XLR coming, we could be seeing more of these types of flights
Already very common with the current 737 and A321. The XLR will just add range. You might see longer, smaller city pairs connected.
I took Norwegian's Boeing 737 Max 8 from Providence to Dublin back in 2019. The narrow-body layout didn't affect comfort, and the interior was very stylish for a budget airline, but the seats were as hard as a rock. It was literally just leather on plastic.
By the time I made it to my "cozy" Ryanair flight to Krakow, I slept like a baby.
737 max 8 on Norwegian from SFO to FCO with 2 adults and 3 kids 7-12 in economy. Good flight
I know they have to ask but asking Noel "are you able to assist in case of emergency" did make me chuckle, considering he would probably be able to pop into the cockpit and fly the thing to Milan by himself :)
I feel like the background noise overpowers your dialogue in a few parts of the video.
As many others have commented (see @chinaberg below), very poor sound quality for this vlog. I have no idea why. I'm sure you can fix the problem.🙂
@@markjones2781 could it be the airplane is noisy? some aircraft are quite bad (a350/380 are quiet)
I didn’t have a problem hearing it
Yeah, the sound mixing was ofc throughout the entire video.
Nothing wrong with the sound then I’m using noise cancelling headphones.
I agree this one was a bit difficult to hear you, lots of background noise. However, I am especially pleased to see your NP lanyard instead of stretching out your t-shirt collars. Thanks for the vids!
Glad to know it’s not just me that taps the plane before I board. Great vid Noel!
My wife makes fun of me when I tap the plane before I board 😂
Travel video presenter, Paul Lucas does this in his videos also.
Thanks! 👍
It seems there's a whole lot more of us than I ever imagined.
Glad to know I'm not alone!
"It's really not the best" -- probably the nicest description of Newark airport I've ever heard!
Imagine flying for any length of time only to arrive at Newark.
I personally love EWR!
@@techspeak5801how it’s a disaster
A coworker of mine once said "There's Eww and then there's EWR" 😅
@@techspeak5801 is this due to chances of being delayed more than on time? Or is it the bathrooms that haven’t been cleaned in five years or maybe the really rude staff? Unless of course I’ve never flown out of terminal B terminal C is totally OK. It’s not great, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with it terminal B and the old terminal a it’s just a mess. There are better airports, in Third World countries.
Noel me and my fella have been subscribed to your channel for a long time now and just feel the need to tell you that you really are one of the most genuinely nice people(vloggers) we have had the pleasure of watching.so thank you 😊 👍
Thank you for your kind words.
You should fly around the world on only narrow bodies it’s possible I think
Don't think any narrow bodies are crossing the pacific
The transpacific is the limiting aspect. Fiji Airways is the key, from Australia (Adelaide and the odd Melbourne flight) to Nadi, then one of their flights through Kiribati to Honolulu. Or the United island hopper from Guam. There are also the odd Nauru airlines etc, but they won't get you all the way to Honalulu/USA
@@tomstravels520 Fiji airways fly the 737 max to Hawaii I think
@@justthatguy9946 Yeah, I think Fiji is the way to go. There are plenty of NB flights from Asia to Guam and from Hawaii to the US, but I don't see any NB passenger flights between Guam and Hawaii. So the southern route looks like the only option.
I have found RTW routings in only 737s. It’s very doable on the A320 series as well.
"The pineapples don't mean anything" hahahaha. Awesome video!
Best line, gotta 💛 Noel + 🍍
Thanks Noel. See you in London on Saturday, I'm really looking forward to it
3:50 as someone who's home airport is EWR, Terminal B is absolutely abysmal. However, the brand new Terminal A that opened last year just won the Skytrax award for best new airport in the world and it truly is quite amazing. If you ever come back around the NYC area, try taking a flight that leaves from Terminal A. Can guarantee you'll have a much more enjoyable experience
Waaay too many people in the lounge for my liking. Aside from that, La Compagnie look like a nice enough airline though. Another great video Noel, thanks for making them each week, a lot of work goes into these I’m sure. Always appreciated mate! 👌🏻
Yes this was another interesting one. The problem with an all-business airline will probably be that the lounge needs to be bigger too. Reminds me of a conclusion of one of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera songs: "... to this conclusion you'll agree; when everyone is "somebody", then no-one's anybody"!
@@briangentle5515 I very much like that quote, I agree with the sentiment too. Very good.
The random currencies used in the conversions are the best part of these videos!
A narrow-body flight always gives you a more intimate sense of what flying means. More turbulence? Yay. A bigger chance of a window seat? Yay!
On narrow and wide bodies, you get the exactly same comfy (or cramped) seats.
the women next to you on flight would not stop picking her nose when you was showing the amenity kit and at points could see her rubbing her fingers and flicking her boogers and at 1 point she looks directly at your camera after flicking an smiled/grinned 🤣...keep up the good work lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great view from the plane and the sunset really was stunning. I love the look of the plane as well, I would enjoy a flight like that. Thank you again for a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Just to 2nd the motion on the beauty of the sunset.
Too bad the faux "champagne" interfered 😃 Do they serve normal French diet as well (3 glasses of wine per day) ?
Great video Noel, I am struggling however to hear your voiceover in places. Have you ever considered doing some content in the smaller Greek islands? Some very interesting approaches! Would love to see that!
Sorry Noel. Hearing you on this episode, is very very hard. The volume is terrible. Sorry, I hope it gets better next week.
Even the Loo Review was bad. I hope that the sound mixing gets fixed soon. Maybe it’s a new editor who just wasn’t aware they didn’t turn down the background levels?
LOL, i was too distracted by the woman in the background picking her nose for ages
The 2x2 config is the major selling point here as you mentioned. Having done a few 6+ hr flights on narrow body airframes I’d say that’s about my limit lol
The only time I ever flew out of Newark was on the late, not so great People's Express (People's Distress?) in the 1980s. It was about the most disorganized flying experience I have ever had. Noel would have loved it. ;-)
I will always chose wide body over narrow body in any kind or distance of a flight. The reason for me its simple but maybe not that important to many : bigger airplanes are more stable in bad weather or when the ride is not optimal. Ive been many times in the 777, 787, A330, etc and how the handle turbulence is better than smaller airplanes.
That is an urban myth.
@@chrismckellar9350 No, it's absolutely true. Larger planes are more stable in turbulence.
@clapanse depends. The back of an A340-600 gets quite annoying in turbulence
@@clapanse - I have to disagree. Regardless of size, any commercial aircraft will have issues in turbulence.
I think it's pretty obvious the bigger the plane the smoother the turbulence anyone that's ever flown in smaller planes knows this
United airline has a separate terminal C which is much nicer than the terminal B, also Newark has a new and open terminal A as well. Terminal B is the only one that is really small.
My wife and I recently flew on a JetBlue A321 core/economy AMS-JFK, flight time was just minutes shy of 8 hours. We were lucky, we had a window and aisle with nobody between us but despite this being a long flight on a single aisle aircraft, this was by far one of the best TATL flights we’ve ever had. I’m sure the empty seat between us helped but even without that it would have been perfectly fine. My conclusion is that it’s the airline, seat and service that makes the flight, far more than how many aisles the aircraft has. Yes, there can be a line for the lavatories as the ratio isn’t as great on a typical narrowbody but I’d counter that by saying exiting the aircraft can be 5-10 minutes faster from the back of the plane when compared to a larger widebody. To me, the compromises aren’t a big deal at all.
Done Newark a fair few times - transition to Portland ME. Spent 11 hours there once due to constant delays.
My longest flight on a narrow body flight was in September 1972 in a stretched DC-8 from Yokota Air Base Japan to Travis Air Force Base, CA, USA. Oh, BTW it was 15 hours with all seats economy (six across). And it was nonstop at that.
My longest narrow body aircraft flight was from California to Okinawa, Japan (refueling stop in Honolulu). A year later, Okinawa to San Diego (refueling stop in Anchorage). Both flights were on Boeing 707-320 series aircraft. 1969 and 1970.
Technically Concorde was a narrow body aircraft and it also flew between New York and Paris
In some ways this A321 layout is better than a Concorde. The Concorde flew higher and much faster but that was about it. How many wealthy people only flew Concorde once for the experience & then went back to flying first class on B747s?
Let’s not forget the Uk
Thank you for the fresh perspective on long-haul narrow-body flights! As a pilot as well as a long time traveler, I have always been in support of the longer flights over 5 hours being on a wide-body. But I see now the benefit of a business class model for narrow-body long haul flights. As long as it is affordable for the airline, I wish more airlines would adopt this model rather than cramming as many people onto a smaller plane. Especially with a middle seat!
I'm surprised that you've never been to Newark. It's the united hub, and it's probably in my opinion the best airport to fly out of in the NYC area.
Prior to the new Terminal A. Terminal A and B sucked and C was ok (C3 was kinda nice).
It really surprised me! In fact, it serves more european destinations than jfk right now!
@@jasonthompson8157 I never thought it was that bad myself... It was older but compact and did the job...
Chicago - London with a stop in Montréal on a 707. Airtime 7.5 hours eastbound, 8 hours westbound, not counting time on ground in Montréal. (Revealing my age with this.)
Booked onto a narrowbody Washinton DC to Milan a few years later, but when an engine got sparky after takeoff, came down in Boston, and we were all salted into a 747 for Rome, then a domestic Italian flight to Milan with no English or French language newspapers available.
I always tap the outter skin of the plane when boarding too. Ever since I was a little kid. Superstition and for luck. And I’ve never had a negative flight experience. It works.
Love to see your room in the house where you keep all the amenity kits !!
None alcoholic champagne = Sparkling grape juice
Looks like a nice, cozy flight! It kind of reminds me of a flight I took with my wife from Newark to Omaha when her father passed away. We flew Midwest Express on a 717 which was in a 2/2 config and all the seats were wide 'first class' seats. That was probably the nicest flight I was ever on. It's a shame most flights now just shove you in like cattle and expect a premium to be paid.
thank goodness you had the price in Costa Rican Colón
I'm surprised Noel didn't convert his fare on Air Seoul into Costa Rican Colóns.
Nice flight. Nothing special other than the entire plane being business class I suppose. I’m glad you enjoyed your flight. My best wishes to you and your family. Keep on traveling Noel!
taking my first business class flight in October with Gulf Air to Thailand. Can not wait!! thank you for your great videos Noel
Newark is good for arrivals if you’re going to manhattan, train service is good and my feeling is that the volume of passengers is less than JFK.
Bingo! I didn't feel overwhelmed flying through it like some others...
Noel, I'm with you about the virtues of the narrow body for long flights. After all, that
is all there used to be. Think of the Lockheed Super Constellation, and the Boeing 707.
I flew to Europe twice on a 707, and found it very nice indeed.
Starting around 8:30 - I believe the person in the background is ‘cleaning’ their nose? 😮
Really disgusting😭even eating all the bits it as well😱
Noel that looked absolutely brilliant i would love to fly that aircraft . Great video as always
Many thanks!
757 Philadelphia to Bahrain... boy oh boy.
2 month ago I flew with TAP Air Portugal from Lisbon to Newark on the Airbus A321neo in business class and I can say that it feels much more exclusive flying a long flight on a narrow body aircraft rather then in a wide body like b777, so I would totally do it again!
Paul Lucas always taps the fuselage of the aircraft before he boards. You and Paul are my 2 favorite avgeek bloggers of all time. Do you know Paul personally?
Interesting to see La Compagnie using the old Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Newark. I thought it looked familiar when it popped up!
Noel uploaded on my birthday, yayyy! best gift ever, thanks Noel! 😂🎁🎂
@lorddavidlawrence thank you so much! 😁
Happy Birthday!
@@noelphilips thank you so much!!! :)))
Great review Noel. I wouldn’t agree with your conclusion about narrow bodies. Not because the size of the plane but because what the airlines try to squeeze out of them.
I took a 6.5hr A321NX overnight last week on an LCC and it was awful. All designed to pack in the sardines. Thin uncomfortable seats, no folding headrest to act as a pillow. Came back on a full service 787 and it was chalk and cheese.
My longest narrow body flight was about 6 hours on a 757 from LAX to HNL. Coach both ways but we had a seat between us both times. A lot of avgeeks love the 757 but I'm not one of them when it comes to actually flying on the thing. The a321 looks like Airbus's version of the 757. The thing about narrow body planes for me is they just feel more cramped because they are more cramped. However, the fewer people on the plane the less likely there will be a crying baby to listen to.
the problem is narrowbody cramped everywhere, FAs constantly go back and forth not enough space to go stretch legs and so on.
Your videos are comforting, interesting and I often find myself laughing at your humerous takes. Thanks for taking us along on your journeys!
Thank you for your kind words, glad you enjoy them.
the music is so loud its insane. Who edited this?
“Probably not the best” is extremely kind referring to Newark’s Terminal B. It’s a 50 year old terminal that desperately needs to be torn down, like Terminal A was for the new Terminal A.
Great little video Noel . Looks like my kind of flying . Certainly not too busy . Makes sense . And the service looked great
When 11 (friends/family) of you take a flight from France to the US using La Compagnie and you get your own section of the aircraft it does feel like a private jet. Superb airline and the narrow body aircraft are perfect for the job.
I agree with you, planes are definitely more enjoyable with less people. My longest flight was onboard an A320 from Seoul to Phnom Penh, which was 6h long. The only downside being that it was noisy compared to the A350 we flew before from Paris to Seoul. I think that a silent narrow body plane like the A220 or the latest A321 XLR would be an amazing choice for a long haul flight!
Have you tried Air Transit, SAS or Aer Lingus on their A321LR's?
I think he’s done Aer Lingus A321LR between Dublin and London in business class
I’d take that flight over the wide body aircraft. I loved everything about it, meals, drinks, comfort level of seats. Just perfect ❤
The way you say "Newark" always reminds of my family from Newark, Notts! 😉😂
Pineapple signs on cruise ships are apparently important to swingers.
Hi Noel what a great video loved the airline looked very good your are correct less people better service keep up the great work you are doing for aviation. Paul in Kent
Glad you enjoyed it
Back in 2003, one-way Boston to Philly, US Airways Express (City shuttle) now American Airlines. Flight: Devil Dash 8 Aircraft, fit 30 people with turboprop engines, (Non-jet). Flight was 90 minutes. Philly International has prior two intersecting runways running vertical than horizontal (left to right) Vertical allowed for very small planes and helicopters to land when space opens before the big jets use the other runways. You can hear loudly the planes back side landing gear hit first. Terrible turbulence. Philly completed their runway extension project and eliminated these different style runways.
Longest narrow-body flight I have taken was in 1974: across the Pacific Ocean from LAX to SYD on a British Airways Super VC-10 stopping at Hawaii and Fiji. I was seven years old. No IFE, aisle seat so couldn't look out of the window, just had to read comics, play with a toy aircraft and look at my Junior Jet Club logbook.
That same year I flew from LAX to Taipei Songshan on a China Airlines 707 with a stopover in Hawaii and refueling in Guam. I was 10 years old. My connection from DFW was an American Airlines DC-10.
"Next door to New York" don't do my state of NJ like that!
I never thought one of Noel's videos would have me looking up the population of Costa Rica, but by my calculations they now have about 4 million colons left...
Longest narrow-body flight I've done is Amsterdam-Kano with a stop in Tunis, on a DC-8 in Air Suriname livery (!), flown by KLM. I think it was about six or seven hours including the stop. (The flight from Montreal (Mirabel!) to AMS was on an L-1011! Only time I was ever on that plane.) Not the longest distance in the world, but the start of a two-year stay in Nigeria from 1981-3 while my parents were teaching there. I turned 13 on the way home in Scotland, as we took a couple weeks to get back to Canada.
Newark is in New Jersey, another state - believe it or not
When it comes to comfort narrowbodied planes are exactly equal to widebodies. I was around when DC-8 :s were used on longhaul flights. My longest DC-8 flight was with SAS from Copenhagen to Seattle and back. About 10,5 hours duration. It depends more on the seats and legroom rather than if its a narrowbody or mot.
I absolutely touch the outside of the plane every single time I board. Every time, without fail. I laughed when you brought that up and have honestly wondered if you do that as well 😂
The voice over @ 2:31 is not great :/ the lounge background sound is too loud
Probably 20 years ago I flew non stop with continental on a 757 from ewr to anc. That was every bit of 9 hours and change. Love the videos keep it going!
Love your content but one day you may lose everything if you continue not to blur people's faces like every other aviation UA-camr. This is not public space, it is private space and people have been sued before by someone who didn't want their face shown on a plane etc. It is not a joke!
Ok boomer
He probably asks people he’s engaged with directly. Some person just randomly walking around in an airport has no expectation of privacy.
4:19 it's not just you, I always like to do that. Them moving you without making it a whole ordeal was excellent service. Some other carriers would move you without telling you to a much worse seat (my dad once spent $20 extra on American to get a seat with more leg room, I believe in an exit row but I could be wrong, and they moved him to a middle seat with very little leg room without saying anything beforehand even though he paid more for more room. He's over six feet tall, so he really does need that leg room).
I flew out of Newark Airport once. It was from Newark to London on People's Express - First Class! First-class was upstairs (on a 747). We had an in-flight movie on a 16mm projector. I was working for Cray Research, Inc., (1982-1993) and the rule was simple: they pay for business class overseas. I could go first class if the price was equal to or less than the normal (e.g., Northwest Airlines) business class, OR I could use miles for the upgrade. I wanted to see what all the talk about People's Airline was about.
I’ve done Hartford BDL to Dublin DUB return multiple times on Aer Lingus in their a321 and always love it.
I have to agree….though I love widebodies, it is easier on a narrow body. Boarding and deplaning is faster as is service. I’ve done the Cleveland to Dublin run in economy and that was great. Also have done low cost Play airlines Boston-Iceland-Paris and that was also awesome. As a child I did the Boston-Frankfurt many times on the Lufthansa 707.
I've often noticed comments mentioning how much faster it is to exit an aircraft if you're seated in X, Y or Z or the aircraft is body. Unless you are hand-luggage only, it doesn't matter how fast you exit the aircraft because you still need to wait on baggage reclaim. Having worked back-of-the-house at BHD, depending on how many personel are available and how many aircraft need unloading, I found that more than once we prioritised an aircraft not because it was first in, but because something on that aircraft had to be removed fast. Departures were always given priority. That was 25 years ago and since then I have never been in a rush to deplane.
"deplane"? Jeez ...How often do you enplane? George Carlin was right about "deplane" and its only legitimate use.
@@rorykeegan1895 Just an expression we always used when I was working at BHD.
I've flown from Thailand to the Philippines to Okinawa to Yokota Air Base near Tokyo, Japan on a C-9 Medivac USAF aircraft - narrow body DC-9 airplane. Wasn't much fun. But yeah I see a market for that kind of Airbus in such a business configuration - works well.
I flew from Newark to Sao Paulo back December of 2009 on Continental Airlines. Plenty of restaurants i had no problems at Newark.
Parisian here. No one listens to accordion music in France. Yet ALL UA-camrs consider it obligatory for any videos referencing France.
It's the cabin altitude and noise level, done a lot of narrow body trips in the Pacific and it's far quieter and restful when I take the 380
Frankfurt-Toronto on 757-200 with Air Transat in 1997. But as we had a stop in Montreal, the longest stretch was Frankfurt-Montreal. 3.629miles or 5841km.
I used to fly La Compagnie a couple of times a year on the EWR-NCE route. My biggest complaints are the lack of interconnection in the US and the schedule that forces me to spend the night at EWR before I can get a flight home. BA expanded service into my home airport from LHR, so I've switched my transatlantic flying to them.
It says during the video that this flight was 8:09 where according to flightaware SAS are flying A321's from Copenhagen to JFK and Toronto, both approx 8:40.
They rebuilt Terminal A and its super nice. Should definitely check it out next time.
Alcohol free champagne on a flight is such a great idea!
New Jersey is a state that deserves to be recognized.
Insane all this time you haven't flown out of Newark before!
Brilliant vlog again great sunset take off thanks Noel 👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
I've done 6 hours on a 737-800 PHX-ANC before, and then I think the longest narrow-body flight I've done was GLA-PHL on a 757-200, was just around 7 and a half hours I believe that one. I always tend to prefer a widebody, I just like the feel of the larger twin aisle cabin, and they tend to feel a little smoother in turbulent air to me, but a narrow body is still acceptable on a longer flight.
People forget that well into the 1970s, long-haul flights were typically flown on the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8, which were narrow-bodies, and nobody complained. Before that, it used to be even longer flights (in terms of duration) on even smaller Constellations and DC-6s. And you do have a point in the quicker embarkation and disembarkation times, less congestion, and swifter service on a narrow-body. Hey, I miss the 727's rear stairs, which helped to fill and empty the plane in a heartbeat.
That said, there is something comforting and less claustrophobic in a wide-body cabin. For sure, it's purely psychological and has all those tradeoffs you mentioned, but it may mean a slightly less stressful experience to many passengers. It must also be remembered that a typical economy-class seat on a 707 was much roomier than today's average. It also depends on the plane model: I HATED my only flight on a 757. It was just a 2:30-hour hop (DFW-MIA on American), but I arrived exhausted, as if I had flown 10 hours. That very long cabin of the 757 made service slow, the flight very stressful, and access to the lavatories difficult. Since the A321 has similar dimensions to the 757, I'd expect a similar experience.
But to each one's own, and it's good to be able to choose. As for La Compagnie, it looks like it was a nice flight, but I found it too expensive and bad value for money. You can certainly find much more modern business-class products across the Atlantic for $1900 or less one-way, especially if you buy your ticket well ahead, and you can also accrue and use alliance loyalty miles, which you can't at La Compagnie.
I've taken several flights from Dublin to US airports on 757s, and found it surprisingly pleasant, even in economy.
Astounded this was your first time visiting EWR!
Lucky you, every time I visit NY, I seem to land there, and it’s atrocious
Gday Noel, as a real world airline Capt im glad you noticed the bumps. One of the biggest drawbacks of the 321Neo is its inability to get to altitude. At max weight it cant get to altitudes that are clear of the jetstream which generates the turbulence you felt. In short the 321 Neo cant provide a smooth ride. Then throw in its landing with very little fuel and your guaranteed with 100% certainty will get far higher diversion rate than a widebody. To give an example the 787 can go straight to 37000 on a 9hr flight the 321 sits at 27 to 29000. This puts you smack bang in the weather, turbulence and bumps. The reason why widebodies are far superior to a narrow body is you are guarranteed a better ride, aurline dependant you have more space and the biggest reason you will get there because the 321 will have 30 minutes spare fuel the 787 three hours.
Simple really..
Hey man you twp the plane before you enter. Wow. I didn't even know who else does this. Been doing this for yearssssss. Amazing
I am going to take my longest narrowbody flight from ORD to KEF in October. Going to be an exciting trip!
I grew up in Newport, Rhode Island where pineapples are the symbol for "Welcome." A lovely sentiment, they can be seen all over down, modeled in everything from wrought iron fence finials, to leaded stained glass windows, to t-shirts and flags. Then again, Newport was built on the Triangle Trade and I shudder to think of what paid for those original shipments of pineapples to Newport in the 17th and 18th centuries and who originally had access to them. Yes, definitely better to go with, "pineapples mean nothing. I just like pineapples." I'm going to use that from now on too.
