Re: It's back! F1 2020 Season

Grosjean said he was against the halo a few years ago in the video from his hospital, before admitting it's what saved his life. Scary stuff - it was the longest couple of minutes waiting to see confirmation of him being okay. Seen some pretty high impact crashes recently (Kimi in Silverstone 2014, ...

Cool report! Unfortunately I had to cancel my jfk-pek-kix and return of hnd-pek-jfk on the 748, 2 a333s and a 77W on AIr China due to covid - after reading your report I won’t hesitate to rebook with them when the time is right. I’ve heard mixed reviews but they seem fine, much cheaper than others ...

Supremely well written trip report, wow, wow! I appreciate a report with thoughts going through articulated in the writing - no, it does not make it long, it makes it very enjoyable.

Re: Flying to DFW on American 757, 787 & Spirit A320

Lucky for the upguage from the A321 to a B757, as you rightly said it added some variety to it! I wonder if the 787 would continue operating after COVID-19 on LAX-DFW. Interesting anecdote of the disruptive passenger too, good to see it didn't take too long though..

Re: One last ride on the Canadian fat boy - Air Transat A310 YQB-FLL

Lucky you for scoring this last A310 ride! They took very good care of the oldies. Nice pictures to go along. A plan to visit Montreal last summer unfortunately fell through for me: Air Transat did have the one A310 between YYZ & YUL, maybe it was a good thing as the Formula One race just awful.

Re: Britain’s Last Restaurant Car: GWR First Class Pullman Dining

Nice report, thank you for sharing this! I am always intrigued by the different services offered on rails around the world: this wasn't any different to what one would expect onboard a plane anyway.

Re: Singapore to Munich by Singapore Airlines A350-900

Nice trip report & pictures. I am always intrigued to see what SQ offers on their longer flights (to Europe), but for some reason it looked like the trays lacked a bit in quantity...? Maybe it is just me. Great deal on the 'broken' IFE - a little bonus I guess! Thanks for sharing.

Impressed that LH service to MUC is now on a A350. The only services from Denver outside of NA were BA to LHR and LH to FRA in 2013. We now have so many services, COVID-19 would impact some however. I am glad denver got so many services. Now hopefully if the rumored EK services comes in the next fe...

Great trip report. I was a foreign exchange student in Fargo and have good memories of the place, including that wonderful little airport! Thanks for stopping by! Fargo is indeed a much more happening place than Grand Forks - FAR being the largest city in ND, while GFK being only 3rd or 4th largest...
