1381345 2014-08-10 03:48:00 12 minute video covering highlights of a media introductory flight from Toulouse over the Pyrenees. Obligatory applause on takeoff and again on touchdown (I never figured out why people like to do that). A smooth flight in the interests of allowing the passengers to retain their composure (and lunches) with the only bit of excitement being when a French fighter joined the A350 in formation. The A350 captain said later he insisted the fighter keep at least 500m away ... knowing the exciteable frogs, probably a prudent step :D
