Re: A British Airways captain was stabbed after going for a run during his layover in South Africa,

It was his own fault, that rule not to leave the compound exists for a reason. South Africa is a high crime country, going out in public you're just asking for trouble. He learned a hard lesson, I bet he won't do it again. What an awful comment. Yes, he probably should’ve stayed inside but going ou...

Re: Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW/DAL) Aviation - 2023

If all 3 added flights, that would be nice (increased competition is always a good thing) However, I doubt that BR could sustain flights to DFW considering how we're not a Star Alliance Hub and I doubt that there are enough Taiwanese. If BR expands to any of those 3 cities, it would definitely be I...

I’m guessing they’d rather give their passengers pretzels and peanuts than pay for full service catering

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2023

BWI-KEF/PDL/TER are within the range of WN 737 MAX 8 planes as WN currently operates 737 MAX 8 planes on a few nonstop routes longer than BWI-KEF such as LAS-LIH and PHX-HNL/OGG. BWI-KEF is also the same distance as LAS-HNL, and PDL/TER are both closer to BWI than KEF is. Any chance of WN adding se...

Re: JAL’s strategy @ BOS

If it were inefficient they would’ve stopped a long time ago as they’ve been doing this for years.

Re: AA and LGW

LGW is closer to Brighton than London. Also Gatwick is catered to the leisure crowd, Heathrow is where the money is for both business and tourism.

That’s the second runway

Re: Incident at BUR

This is a non-issue, a very standard a common procedure. On top of that, it wasn’t even close to being a near miss

Re: Copa will fly PTY to AUS

Which cities those 2 will be? Not sure. But I would expect that at least 1 will be in Latin America, just to balance the number of destinations to be open in the US. Going to mention 16 destinations, betting the other 2 new ones will be among them: USA: PHX, HOU, DFW, STL, CVG, PHL, RDU, JAX, RSW, ...

Just like El Al serving both JFK and EWR makes lots of sense, so does FLL and MIA.

I’d much rather us improve public transportation than this.

Re: Hawaiian Airlines HAL51 JFK-HNL Diverting to SFO

I mean this with all due respect, but unless it was something serious, is it really necessary to create a thread about this?

Re: The Chinese Ballon over the US and its potential impact

Majority of civilian planes don’t fly above 43k, so I guarantee there’ll be 0 impact.

This entire situation is blown out of proportion and just another case of fear mongering

Re: American Airlines Fleet - 2023

Bummer that it will now likely arrive at JFK after sunset. N725AN (a -300ER) landed in GUS earlier this evening. Maybe this is the one they're repainting (repolishing?) :duck: In all seriousness, very odd that AA would post that teaser and then follow it up with nothing. I'm holding out hope! N725A...

I can’t explain the Japan one, for South Korea chances are this is in retaliation due how Chinese citizens were treated on arrival in Seoul

charter flights for the European football club tours

Hello all, I made this thread in regards to the euro teams traveling the world. I was wondering if anyone knew what airline and aircraft Juventus will use for their tour. They should be flying to Las Vegas in a few days.

Why don't flight crews just stay at the airport hotel?

Re: Does FX normally use the MD-10 to HNL?

Not showing up on FR24 anymore and has estimated location on Flightaware. Odd. Does anyone know the reason they’re using a -10? With all due respect its hard enough to find out why a PAX flight swaps aircrafts for a one off flight or two so with a cargo flight its even harder to find that type of i...

Re: Too late to change these airport realities now?

Many frequent travelers I know have occasional back pain issues that are exacerbated by long stretches of sitting. Unbuckling and standing in the aisle as quickly as possible may seem annoying to some, but is sometimes instant relief for some. Sounds like your friends need to see a chiropractor Thi...
