Excellent photos – all of a very high quality! ๐
Stansted surprises me as an airport, because I was one of this ignorant people who believed that the only airlines that operated out of it were short haul charters, easyJet and Ryanair. I found out fairly recently that Malรฉv Hungarian Airlines also fly from there and have just discovered that CSA Czech Airlines do, too!
Any idea why they do it? Heathrow isn’t that far away and Stansted does techincally qualify as being a London Airport.
I don’t like it either.
The Star Alliance colour scheme seems to vary from airline to airline. The fact that the title only fills about two thirds of the fuselage in this example doesn’t make it so appealing.
I am quite keen on the Thai and bmi examples, where the “Star Alliance” title fills the entire fuselage, with the airline squeezed in below.
Eww..! ๐
Mind you, our postal system is something to be proud of. What more could you want than a company who doesn’t deliver First Class post the following day (like it should) and a company who even loses recorded mail (like they do)?
Ah http://www.flight “all nodes are busy” sim.com, to start off with i’ve never been able to get into it, and when i could, twas like 4 am in the morning!
I allways use AVSIM much better in my opinion, and sorry Michael, hehe that does not answer your question!
LOL… I know what you mean. I only even attempt to access FlightSim.com in the afternoon. Any time after 5.00pm and there is no chance of getting onto it.
I am a regular user of Avsim.com as well – faster downloads and guaranteed access.
Nice shots! Seeing 2 767s in a day can’t be that bad! ๐
Also, the latest Airliner World (October 04) has an Air Nostrum article in it, so that could be worth a read.
๐ฎ Stunning…!!
My only criticism is that you went to Bangkok and Phuket, and as of yet, I’ve not seen a single Thai Airways shot.
Looks like you had a fantastic time though. Did you fly Phuket Air from HKT to BKK?
8. Britannia airways B767-200/300 ๐ฎ
It’s a -300 ๐
A noticeable difference in quality compared to your last shots, so keep up the good work!
I notice you have the British Airways 767 “Russia” model.
I order that from America but put it straight onto eBay when I received it – making quite a nice profit! I’m a huge fan of the 767, so I’ll have to order myself another one.
Yet more great photographs – absolutely brilliant! ๐
The shot of that person stood in the sea with the MYT A320 passing overhead is my favourite.
We’re spoilt for choice with photographs today! ๐
Some wonderful shots…!!
Some fantastic shots, especially the night-time one. ๐
Excellent photographs!
I’m not at all keen on that Singapore 747-400 Star Alliance colour scheme! ๐
That’s one hell of a good review and set of photographs.
The Iran Air 747SP ride sounded like a lot of fun! ๐ฎ
I say it every time… Thai Airways International.
I do not know of any airline that offers more than 34 inches of seat pitch in Economy Class -but if anyone else does, I’d really like to know.
Like others, I’m not in the slightest bothered by airlines without PTVs in economy. As long as there are some televisions and some inflight radio available, I’m very happy!
The inflight service with Thai is unbeatable by any other airline I have flown with. The meals are nearly always of a fantastic quality. Well cooked, brilliantly presented and with plenty of flavour. The beverages to accompany the meals are also very impressive. There’s no 150ml cans of Coke here! You get your own, full-sized 330ml can. There is also an extensive range of fine wines, spirits (lots of cognac) and beers available throughout the flight, being offered to all passengers every 30 minutes or so.
The Thai crew are beautifully presented and change several times during the 11 hour flight to Bangkok or 12 hour flight to London. All are Thai, but their language skills are amazing – with nearly all being fluent in English, too.
I couldn’t think of a nicer way to fly! ๐
For hans
That’s a nice design. It looks quite ‘old’ if you get what I mean? A class-looking colour scheme.
