Elgan's Star Alliance RTW Christmas 2006

Sorry, its another RTW thread! I hope you don’t mind, as we have 2 superb other threads on the go!

But with FS collecting dust after me going back to Uni, and with 4 weeks of nothing (:diablo: ) to do, i thought, during a drunken night last week to do a RTW trip, using as much airlines associated with the Star Alliance!

So today i start, and over the course of the next 4 weeks, i hope to use as many airlines as i can, and visit as many countries as i can, whilst using only payware aircraft! All flights will be on VATSIM, using real world callsigns!

And it began in Manchester 10am this morning, with me flying “Midland 2 Papa Kilo!”

Stand 18 for my A319

This will continue to Toronto in real life, i don’t, its off to the States for me tomorrow morning!

So despite the fact that i thought up the idea when i was drunk, my word i enjoyed it! The major factor was the worldwide network that Star Alliance carriers offer!

I flew many airlines, sadly not all, but i touched bmi, Air Canada, United, Ted, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana, Thai, Singapore, Austrian/Lauda, and Lufthansa, which isn’t bad at all 😀

I kept a log of my flights via the data on the FMC, and i clocked up 36759 Miles in 11 days! :dev2:

The map below is a superb graphical description of my travels

So, it was an excellent way to end 2006. I hope you enjoyed the shots!
