Jump to postAnd yet this season frequency of BUD-ICN grew over previous season. as LOT cannot go over 5 flights from Poland, it has to funnel the passengers through BUD, cutting yields. Maybe they got their quota canceled as they just announced a one weekly from WRO to ICN. South West Poland has a lot of S. Ko...
Jump to postNice trip and a nice trip report. It was so nice of them to give you a little gift. Thank you for posting.
Jump to postI had my first two flights on Pan Am so I have a lot of sentiment to the airline. There was a lot of mismanagement, old planes and finally Lockerbie gave it a final kick into bankruptcy. A true icon in air travel.
Jump to postORD could work once Delta moves to T5 making easy transfers from int'l to domestic.

At this rate I might be retired before it opens! What started off as a running joke is now a Grade A embarrassment! An embarrassment is an understatement. Remember when people were talking about "Deutsche Wertarbeit" (German craftsmanship) being one of the things Germany is most famous fo...
Jump to postThe Italian government is again promising a 'new" Alitalia. The airline is organized into a new company every few years however the old problems remain the same. Hopefully, the new owners will stop wasting money for repainting the aircraft and concentrate on what really matters. The old livery ...
Jump to postHopefully for the better. With fewer travelers hopefully the airlines will start caring more about service and get rid of ridiculous fees for bags or selecting seats.
Jump to post[quote="MohawkWeekend"]To those who wonder - I flew as a passenger during the CAB years and it was, well sorry to say really good. The crews seemed happy and those were very difficult jobs to get. The planes roomy, service was good. And you could look at a time table and know exactly what ...
Jump to postOne would think that MXP would make more sense then FCO, but DY is trying what they can as their finances are not that great. On another front after years of playing with Spanish and British markets they are expanding in OSL adding shot haul flights to: DUS, KUN, POZ and WRO. as well asn some flight...

I avoid Lufthansa. Awful legroom like being in a cattle car. And Frankfurt Airport is a mess. I agree, LH used to be an excellent choice, but lately their food sucks and they reduced the legroom from 32 inches to 31. Now, you also have to pay attention as some of their fares do not include bags. Lo...
Jump to postVery nice trip report. I like Haneda more than Narita, more restaurants and it feels more airy. TSA is surprisingly busy for a small airport. I took a short hop from here to Hualien on now defunct TransAsia ATR72. The weather in that region is very unpredictable. I know it is a short flight but I wo...
Jump to postNice report. Thanks for sharing. United food is not a step below. LH food is step below as of late, but United is 5 steps below. The food looks reheated 10 times, even the salad is not of first freshness. This is why I do not fly long-haul with US airlines. Like you said once you experience some oth...
Jump to postI can't figure out why so much hate. LOT has publicly stated that longhaul flying generates the majority of the profit for the airline. Launching East Asia flights in the last 4 years has been a huge success. See NRT starting 3 weekly in 2016, seeing steady upgauges, and going daily this summer. Se...
Jump to postI hope they don't pick Calatrava. His designs are all the same - white rib looking things, overpriced and over budget. I have to agree. I used to like his designs, but they are all copies of each other. Just google his name and see what he produced. I think the SOM looks very Chicago like but not v...
Jump to postOK people you base your responses on preconceived knowledge from 1960s. Just because the west sold Poland to Soviet Union at the end of WWII doesn't mean that the country is in some kind of a isolation with no business connection. There are a lot of Korean, Japanese and Chinese firms in Poland from ...
Jump to postI guess we should be happy while its lasts. Not sure how long can Air Italy expand before Qatar pulls the plug on them sort of like Etihad on Air Berlin. On another note T5 is a zoo in the afternoon with immigration lines way down the hallway and wait time more than an hour. How many more flights ca...
Jump to postI am surprised anyone had cash as it is illegal to take Chinese yuan outside of China. I was in China twice and I remember that everyone wanted cash no credit cards. I persuaded my travel agency in Beijing to have half send through pay pal as not too many places took non-Chinese credit cards.
Jump to postGood to see another Polish destination being added by KLM! I hope more destinations in Central/Eastern Europe can be added. Currently flying Wizz from EIN is the best option for many destinations in that part of Europe. KRK 3x daily I didn't realize KLM was up to 3x daily on this route already! Did...
Jump to postIn my several trips around China China Southern was one of the better experiences, but I agree I would not believe anything they tell you. Getting anyone to understand English outside of Beijing and Shanghai is a miracle. I noticed that FA and check in staff only recite the same few sentences giving...
Jump to postA very nice trip report with plenty of great pictures. That "Price Polo" wafer snack has been Lot's staple for the last 30 years or so. I read somewhere that LOT is expanding their catering services on longer flights but I guess 3 hours from TLV is not one of them. I do agree that WAW term...
Jump to postIs that a DL jet on the left? I had no idea they used to fly to WAW.[/quote]
Yes, After DL acquired some of PanAm's assets they flew FRA-WAW and later FRA-WAW-PRG-FRA eventually switching to JFK-WAW service.
These “big adjustments” consist of the following: - removing tomato juice and Sprite Zero from beverage options - some cutbacks to first class meals on domestic flights under four hours (i.e. some flights going from hot meal to cold meal <sandwich or salad of some sort>) I thought tomato juice was ...
Jump to postLOT started its BUD-ORD route this week. Anyone has any info on load factors.
Jump to postThank you for posting so many great pictures. I have been to China three times but not to Canton. I love dim-sum and your picture make me hungry. SQ is very consistent and keep the quality of service well above the average.

Great Trip Report. It looks like you always have so much fun. How did you like those sliding chairs on ANA? My knees appreciated the fact that the seat back in front did not recline but the sliding function made my lower back a bit uncomfortable. And apparently the sliding function was too intuitiv...
Jump to postSee how long they last. Virgin Atlantic had a seasonal service which lasted only a couple of seasons.
Jump to postWizz is adding frequency on their Ukraine-EU routes so it will be a tough market for FR. They've probably missed that boat.

Jump to postFor me it is simple - do not nickel and dime me for everything. If I pay $1200 round trip ticket to Tokyo why do I have to pay $25 for the bag (do you expect me to fly half around the globe with no luggage?). Incidentally not charging for the first bag would speed up the boarding and the fight for t...
Jump to postLH 748 will stay for years, but KLM and BA will eventually faze out so the only B747 will be multiple cargo runs.
Jump to postAs for the Czechs, according to official government data (available online) there are roughly 45.000 Czechs in the UK and 40.000 Czechs in Austria. These numbers are from the Austrian and UK national statistics. I couldn't find their numbers for France, Belgium or the Netherlands but I am sure they ...
Jump to postThe race to the bottom will continue as long as Joe average wants a ridiculous cheap fare... This is a myth. If we don't count Basic Economy (and similar products), the prices are going up, not down. At the same time legroom and comfort is decreasing. I noticed that too. Everyone is hiking up the p...
Jump to postAmerican's 7M8 has 34" pitch in MCE (was 36" on 738), 37" pitch in F/J (was 40" on 738). I'd pay a bit more if I could for MCE, but there are only 18 seats (3 rows) and the pitch is what regular Y was only a few years ago. AA got a lot of flack when they introduced their A319's ...

Exactly! Why screw up a proven trade mark. This is like Coca-Cola trying to change the taste of Coke in the late 80s.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-city-hall-story-20180223-story.html I'm still skeptical Western Terminal will ever be built unless ORD starts consistently posting double digit passenger growth every year. You could setup some temporary concourses on the western side if T3 w...
Jump to postI’m scared to imagine how an similarly configured A321 would look like. If customers want more legroom, they will - in virtually all cases - have the opportunity to either pay for it, and/or select a competitor that offers it. All true, however you can not buy more room in the toilet and as it is r...
Jump to postAA decided to squeeze in extra 12 seats into their new B737-Max also reducing the size of the toilet. Both passengers and now even pilots express their frustration with the aircraft configuration. I recently flew with AA on their NG B737-800 and thought the seats were cramped and the toilet was the ...

And ORD isn't really a direct replacement for IAH in terms of hub connectivity or geography either, the two routes can easily coexist and serve complementary roles. I'm not sure I ge...
Jump to postBoth JAL and ANA send their internationally configured aircraft on long haul to US with the economy seat pitch about 34 inches. I flew ANA and they had 2-4-3 configuration and their seats were sliding not reclining and each had a foot rest. I liked the idea that nobody would recline into my face and...
Jump to postI like the HGH airport - small and clean. The only problem is getting to town. Long lines to taxis and no trains.
