QF used to fly to Greece, but haven’t done so for years. OA stopped recently. It’s ridiculous, ditto with the Italy situation. SN and TG are banking on this at the moment, as they are the only ones to offer one-stop service between Australia and Athens.

No, I wasn’t around in the 1800’s, never heard of it. I thought that expo was in Montreal, in 1986, right?

Does that mean Emirates will sell tickets between SYD and AKL, and vice versa? I know Thai flies between SYD and AKL, but you can’t purchases tickets for just that route, it’s only continuation from BKK-SYD-AKL.

Steve, I think you need to change your title to “Down Under Guru,” you are all over the Aussie aviation news, mate! Nice job. You ever notice that around this time, (11 p.m. for me, 4 p.m. for you) we’re the only ones on? This post 999 for me. I have to make 1000 a good one.

I believe that is a -300 series NW A330. Also, what is Qatar going to do with those A345’s, open up non-stop service to Eastern Australia, perhaps?

As big a Boeing fan as I am, I’m anxiously looking forward to the rollout and first flight of this beast. I thought Emirates’ order totalled 40+ after this recent transaction?

United pretty much used to serve food or some sort of snack on all of their mainline flights. Of course with cutbacks and financial difficulties/ch. 11, services on shorter mainline flights got reduced. Now, will this come back when they get back on their feet again, who knows?

Who do you usually fly with, FLA dude?
