Noticed the newly designed Shamrock on the door, the tail fin, and the white body, but when getting on the plane, but no shamrock inside the wingtip. Slightly disappointed that I don't have my 'Instagram Moment' wingtips.

Tenger wrote: » I’m not saying that’s it not visible but generally ppl look in front of them rather than 4-5ft to their left. I guess looking thru the cockpit window would allow them to see the door shamrock. Personally I think a shamrock right above the door or on the right hand left ‘lintel’ would be more readily apparent. Unrelated, post n Facebook earlier showed a video snippet from the livery unveil with the EI fleet mngr confirming 2 new A330s in time for Summer 2020. Was already posted here though.

Airbus doors (if you open from the inside), push out and then slide over, it doesn’t work like a door hinge where the outside surface faces the plane when open. Passengers walking down a jetbridge or even up stairs would have a very clear view of the shamrock on the door.
