I'm sure I've flown on an A320 before this but definitely the first time I can remember actually noting that the aircraft I was on was an A320 was on a Ted by United flight from DEN to RNO back in December of 2004 on my way to Tahoe for a family ski trip. I think I was surprised by the fact that we ...

Back in December of 2013 I was flying back to the US for Christmas break from university and got caught up in delays at Heathrow due to heavy fog. Ended up missing my BA connection from LHR to ORD and got put on AA 87 (777-200ER) which was delayed by a couple of hours - not sure what happened with t...

Many of those Youtubers get their flights paid for by the airlines they fly if they leave a good review, so it doesn't cost them anything except for time. However because of this you won't ever hear them say anything negative about the airlines they fly. Those reviews are not objective so don't put...

Jeez-oh, spot the journalist on a fishing exercise!! Nope, not a journalist (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), I'm just a passenger.

BA operates some flights that are longer than UA's HKG flights like LHR-SCL using a 2-4-2 in a 789. Just a minor correction, Club World is only 2-4-2 on 744, 77W, 772 and A380 main deck.
