Thanks for sharing and the food on ANA looks amazing. I am surprised at how generous they are with snacks in the galley! The food looked and tasted amazing. I was so stuff by the end of it. The snacks in the galley were quite quirky - typical Japanese. There was a mayonnaise flavoured cracker for e...

Jump to postGreat report and photos. When JAL retire the SAABs, I bet Regional Express here in Australia would be interested in them as they are always on the lookout for SAAB 340s that are in good condition. I am sure Loganair would gladly take them as well, especially in that condition. Lovely report. The Sa...
Jump to postI did that one a few months ago. Was in Sapporo and found out I could get a ride on a saab340. Was indeed a nice flight. I could not really figure out how to the the airport by bus.

Jump to postNice TR, great pictures - well done! Can anyone read Japanese? The picture with the seat map shows the 2nd and the last row in yellow with an explanation; I think something like "given out last". Maybe someone can confirm? Indeed, I was shocked how beautiful and modern the cabin looked. M...
Jump to postLove it! Looks great fun, thanks for sharing. Thank you! It was well worth it and despite the short distance, it was so much fun and a trip to remember.

Jump to postHello fellow avgeek boys, girls, and anyone in-between and beyond! Earlier this year I went on a 15 flight trip to Japan over 2 weeks. The outbound journey took 48 hours and took us from Glasgow to Sapporo via Paris, Zurich, Hong Kong, Seoul and Osaka. All in one go. It started out with us taking ad...

Great report and nice to see the venerable B737-300 still gracing the skies over Europe and in such nice shape too :) thank you for a good trip report.

Jump to postThanks debonair! Had it not been for the bathroom fittings and the overhead panels, I don't think I would have realised how old the plane really was. Re. the window blinds, I think they must have taken them out for weight saving purposes just like Ryanair. The wall panels must have been new as the L...

Jump to postThanks for the interesting TR. Flying on the B744 seems like such a rarity these days! Did the crew not ask you to remove your GoPro from the cabin windows? Did you get any strange looks from the passengers around why you have a camera stuck to the window?! Thanks, glad you liked the TR :) I know, ...

Jump to postU excpected 2 meals on a flight that is less than 6hrs? That's laughable. Back in the days they would serve a meal after take-off and a snack prior to landing. Last time I flew Qatar on Doha-Bangkok, they had two meal services and it's about the same flying time. The removal of printed menus is not...

Jump to postNice TR... How does the crew differ between SYD passengers with a meal included and local "BOB" passengers? Must be a complicated affair...

Jump to postNice TR! Unfortunately, things have since then dramatically changed to the bad on EK! EK is now offering lowest Economy tickets with only 20KG hold luggage, also advanced seat reservation is now only available against payment (in the lower fares!). On top, EK eliminated the transfer voucher meals i...

Annoyingly, the opportunity of flying them hasn't materialised for me yet. Although that might change if I can convince some mates to go via DXB on our trip to Bangkok next year, as opp...

Jump to postAs for the dinner service, Europe bound flights from YVR are typically served about an hour into the flight, regardless of the carrier and time. I think just the fact that they switched off all the lights was a bit odd - never had that before on any carrier coming back to Europe from North America....
Jump to postEntertaining trip report! Why does everyone get so defensive when someone has a bad flight with AC? Your good experiences do not invalidate the author's bad experiences. Exaggeration? Maybe the author just feels strongly about certain aspects of the service and wants to channel them in an engaging ...
Jump to postA little exaggerated and I would agree with some here. As in your own words "A little drama never hurt anybody"...Just in poor taste, really. Outch, that hurt. I am truly sorry if my report got your knickers twisted. The crew on the AC flight were stellar. I am happy for you that you had ...

Jump to postThanks for the nice report! Definitely a much better way to fly than in the back ;)The food looked good - the pork chops themselves looked great, shame about the messy plating.

Jump to postThanks for the TR, Akinsoul. Sounds awful. I too was considering SYD/YVR/SYD on AC, but I might switch to NZ, CX, or QF if I wind up going when they have their seasonal 3X weeklies.

Jump to postcultural awareness and etiquette Yes, there was definitely none of that! I was really hoping AC would buck the trend Hello Papa New Guinea!

Jump to postActually the legroom on Air Canada is 32" compared to 31" on Lufthansa and British Airways unless they reduced it since 2 years. It is indeed 31" these days which in itself isn't too bad but coupled with 10 abreast makes for very uncomfortable flying. The desert is a joke. One measly...
