so…..they only allow hand luggage, not head luggage? :p
yeah, 3rd one is nice
the joy of flying in a MD11 would entertain me enough ๐
Thanks for that rdc, i’ll try those out
You guys are lucky it will be years before I see one in Canada
From recent press release of testing of GP7200 engines:
The first two aircraft have been successfully carrying out trials including aerodynamics, low speed and flight vibration tests. Cold weather trials are due to take place in Canada shortly, where the aircraft has to prove full functionality under extreme weather conditions of up to minus 40 degrees Celsius. The high altitude campaign successfully took place in Colombia earlier this month while the hot weather campaign will begin in the summer.
So it looks like you won’t have to wait that long! ๐
donโt knock it, it might turn out in your favour! I spent 10 hours on an ANZ LAX-LHR flight sat next to an attractive student about my age (and her not-so attractive friend). spent the majority of the flight drinking whisky with her and teaching her how to play poker, although she ended up beating me ๐ฎ
:p
im about 10 or so miles from EDI and the fog has lifted here at the moment…..not too sure if it will stay like this though, but good luck ๐
I think that as airports slowly adapt to the new aircraft, it will become an increasingly common site, just like the 747 was in it’s first few years. Admittedly though, not all major airlines will require an aircraft of that size. The 747 seems to fit airlines needs quite nicely and so I think there will only be a certain number of 747 (or A330/40, T7) operators that will need to upgrade to the A380.
I just hope that they’ve got this aircraft right, as an accident with that amount of people on board would not look good at all for either Airbus or the operator (I suppose the same could go for 747D operators that cram 500 odd people into them).
I can handle the troubles caused at airports eg queues at immigration, baggage etc because i realise how many thousands of pax the staff there have to deal with each day.
what i donโt enjoy about travelling however, is when i actually want to get some sleep on a long haul but cant get comfy enough in the seats to have a decent sleep. worsened when im in the isle seat and people to the left/right of me need to get out to go to the toilet, or when there are crying babies near me ๐
magnificent shots!
anyone know why the NZ (freedom air) and USA (northwest) flags are back to front?
i cant see it being fixed. the odds of getting the jackpot is something like 1:76million so there are really high odds. however, with the amount of people that have been playing it recently i am surprised that it has not been won yet.
although my flat mate said something about this is the last week it is allowed to roll over due to regulations on the maximum prize draw or something? i think what he really meant was that they were just letting it build up for me :p
What routes will they be serving ๐ As long as they don’t use the horrible economy pillows, theyre awful!
Personally I’d probably buy a boat.

How much are BBJ3’s going for these days? I’d quite like one of those or if I was patient I’d let my money build up so I could get a 2nd hand 742 as I doubt there’d be any 744’s in my price range.
best pic anyones produced on these forums yet ๐
