Ok, once I was ok with the new 1K status, then I've found out theybinvented a new ceiling,mit was Global Services, so 1K is behind the status line of a highe...

Jump to postI will appreciate your recommendations, the one I have is not working properly: flight radar 24. Anything better by chance?
Jump to postI downloaded the flight radar 24 app for iPad, and I am a little disappointed, as it has frequent mistakes. Any suggestions what is there better? It worked better at the beginning, but I've seen that lately it doesn't detect some flights and some areas. I was in Bogota this past week, and it was cle...
Jump to postI flew on an A300 back in September 1987 in Continental Airlines from beautiful Mexico City (evidently my home town) to Houston. I was in window seat in the back on the right side.

Jump to postSuch is the headline of iReport.CNN back in August 1, 2012. I thought that instead of the Dreamliner, Peña Nieto's new administration was acquiring the space shuttle. Today, I was very happy to read that Aeromexico will negotiate with Boeing, the acquisition of the 787-9 for newly elected president ...

Jump to postI think they should retire the 757 and offer a better bird to cross the pond, such as the A330, and soon the 787. Flying the 757 going to Europe made me feel like flying in a cheap low cost airline.

Jump to postThanks to Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Al Gore (ha ha) we are now connected through internet. Business trips have been cut thanks to videoconcerencing, so I don't really see the need to invest gazillion dollars in an aviation department. My two cents my friends!
Jump to postAeromexico has changed its livery as we change socks, so it doesn't surprise me its dropping of the clean metal livery. If the new composite material of which the 787 consists of, I'd say it would be nice to see it, but it's going to take a little while before it is 100% reliable so Aeromexico or an...
