Broken 777s.
Not sure about the DXB route but CPT is the 789 stretched to just about it’s maximum performance.
Pretty sure the other China city is Chongqing. In terms of gate capacity/space, I'm not too familiar with the layout of SEA, whenever I've had a layover there it has just been a quick hop up from PDX through the AS terminals. How many gates are in the S concourse, and how many are utilized on any p...
Jump to postLooks like SEA's 2024 peak season is starting to wake up a bit. I noticed Aer Lingus restarted DUB-SEA. On Flightradar24, I noticed two TK aircraft coming to SEA today...an A350 and a 787 right behind it. FI upgraded their equipment to mainly 757-200's from 737-8's, with an occasional 763 thrown in...
