About 3 years ago I decided to create an excel file to log all the flights I’ve done to date. Just the flight and destination, not airline, a/c model or reg details as I had to work from memory and my first flights had occurred at least 11 years previously.

So far I’ve clocked 104 flights. I will start logging airline and a/c model details as well from now on…

You have to be very careful with that from now on. I’m not sure if it was BA or VS he was talking about, my boss has found out when booking his next trip that the airline was changing its terms and conditions and that anyone who failed to honour the return leg of their trip would from now on be charged for the price of a single ticket- i.e. they’ll charge your credit card for the difference.

I’ll try to find out which airline he was referring to.

Bizarre…

Have you only noticed this on the A340 MerlinXX?

I’ll be flying on an A320 for my Christmas break so I’ll keep an eye for any such occurrences…

Oh they haven’t dried up…they keep coming and coming… 😀

You could argue that this is still part of the ‘first wave’ of sales… launch customers and initial orders when the aircraft concept is first made official.

Expect a second wave of orders when a fully working and fitted A380 first makes it to an airshow (probably Paris), and a third wave shortly after the first airlines start operating it.

Funny, I was thinking how similar the two types look when compared side by side…

Perhaps I was wrong about the size similarities then… 😀

I’d be curious to see the A380’s footprint next to the others as well. Despite its massive size it is said that it will be fairly quiet.

Unsurpassed fuel consumption?

Great improvements in weight reduction and new materials?

Better aerodynamics?

Much quieter aircraft?

State of the art avionics?

It’s the wonders of competition! Airbus pushed Boeing to upgrade the 747, and now Boeing is pushing Airbus to to upgrade the A330.

So long as both manufacturers have decent sales of their new products, then the pushing ahead will carry on and we’ll continue to leap forward.

I look foward to the next generation of 737s and A320s, when the two companies lock horns in that market in about 8-10 years. 🙂
