Re: Andrew Anane: The fanboy that went too far

Likewise, welcome to Airliners. Sadly, the world is full of people who simply write to provoke a response. It doesn't matter what the issue or subject may be, all that matters to them is that they can be deliberately rude and insulting. They might think that they are smart but if that's the highligh...

Re: Malaysia's JCL Russian Roulette - Langkawi bound with MH

Wow. The presentation of the meal is so classy, not. Sure it's a short flight and a hot meal is welcome. But aluminium foil in business class? A sturdy plastic container could be substituted - maybe the kind that EK used to have in economy. They could be recycled rather than just scrapped, but I kno...

Re: JOINT TRIP REPORT - CX BUSINESS BKK - HKG A330

Good trip report and once again, it is pleasing to see that you also wrote a report rather than simply posting a link to somewhere else. I do enjoy a good read. The service seems reasonable for the flight duration. Is this one of the routes that CX plan to move over to Hong Kong Airlines? If so, it ...

Thank you for the history lessons too.

I do wonder what the WA skies will see when the Fokkers are eventually put out to pasture.

Re: HMAS Sydney Memorial: QantasLink Fokker 100 Geraldton to Perth

Lovely picture bonuses at the beginning, and airport museum. Hi CollegeAviator. Glad you enjoyed the report and thanks for leaving a comment. Good to read part 2 of the Geraldton trip. Hi Ryan. Thanks. I always enjoy your reports. Have you any regional flights in the pipeline? I've done the journey...

Re: HMAS Sydney Memorial: QantasLink Fokker 100 Geraldton to Perth

Hi ClassicLover! Another excellent trip report there! Love all your pictures in places in Australia that I haven't managed to visit. What I also love is all the historical detail you included in the report. Well done, a fascinating read all round - loved it! Thanks for your positive feedback. Stay t...

Re: Up the Coast: Network Fokker 100 Perth to Geraldton

Nice report! ... I dont think ive ever landed into a non gusty geraldton! Thank you for your comments. Regarding EK, I guess that with a slow-down in some markets and increased competition, even they need to adjust capacity. I was in Geraldton once when it wasn't windy, but that was back in 1995, L...

Re: Of storms and snow part 2: Jetstar SIN-TPE-KIX, NRT-CNS-SYD

Hi once more, Allrite. After reading your report I am pleased to see that you ended on a positive note. You still have a journey ahead of you but at least you're optimistic at this point. I also enjoyed your "rant" about must-be-seen-with-selfie-sticks, although admittedly despite not know...

Re: Of storms and snow part 1: QF/EK SYD-MEL-SIN

There seems to be so much hatred from all sides of politics these days that it is seeping onto everything. Maybe just keep trip reports about airliners and travel? I agree that trip reports might be better if they concentrate on the trip itself, but if what transpires during the trip leaves an impr...

Hi MaxiAir.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Great shots of the "hills", by the way.

Re: Lufthansa A350 Inaugural Flight MUC-HAM-MUC

Hi Zolagola! What a fantastic day out. Lufthansa certainly spared no expense in this special flight. No wonder there was a queue at the buffet in HAM. It was a nice touch that a low-level flight over Finkenwerder was included and a circuit so that passengers on both sides of the aircraft could (weat...

Re: LATAM Business Class from Santiago (SCL) to Easter Island (IPC)

Great report on a seldom covered destination. I'm glad that you and MrsG enjoyed your trip. The on-board service looks reasonable enough and stand in stark contrast to any business class amenity at the airport on departure. One small quibble. The runway is not 3,318 km but that many metres. Either w...

Re: In-flight gourmet dining: a taste of Italian regional dishes while flying Alitalia MXP-JFK in Business Class

And there’s a lot of confusion here in the US on what is real and genuine Italian food vs. what is being advertised as Italian food: This is quite common around the world. For example, Indian or Chinese foods adapted to fit the local market or simply to cut cost. But I must say, your photos left my...

Re: Emirates Says Flight Was Delayed After Delta Withheld $300 Spare Part

This does seem to be a weird way to do business. From the linked article, it appears that DL agreed to sell the part, not lend it. They subsequently decided not to accept payment by credit card. Now isn't that something that you would state before handing over the part? Why hand it over, allow it to...

Re: A Surprise Dash: Skippers Aviation to Ravensthorpe

There were 2 pilots, a flight attendant, the baggage handler and one passenger - me. Thanks for your memories. Yes, I remember the old aerodrome: it's still there but is really only suitable for light aircraft. Still, that was an improvement on the original strip that was on an old race track to th...

on average it means exactly that. Really?

That has been built in because The Bible said that woman was created from man's rib (and so she has to be subservient, right), and because most Republicans take The Bible literally. Really?

I'd be pretty sure he's aware of it now, but I don't understand your "liberal philosopher" comment. I could be wrong but I think it is a play on words: Darwin the man as opposed to Darwin the city. It assumes that Trump is unfamiliar with the world outside the US. An attempt at humour, po...

Re: Australian Aviation Thread Part 149
