How many airlines through out the years, that is an airline that represents 3 or more countries have ended up in failure, I can think of 3, East African, Air Afrique, MSA Malaysia Singapore Airlines, in today's world I am not surprised SAS is filing for Chapter 11 it must be next to impossible for ...
Jump to postWill they have traffic rights between Perth and Singapore or is it just a fuel stop?
Jump to postSo cool...i love all these airport webcams.....more airports should have them.
Jump to postMust have been an interesting route to operate for the crews.How were the flights operated by cabin/flight crew?Long stay in each stop?I cant imagine how long it would take for them to return to home base Sydney.
Jump to postMy dad flew BOAC <acronym title="Servivensa (Venezuela)">VC</acronym>-10 between Singapore and Colombo and back in the late 60s.No idea where the flight originated from and where it stopped after Colombo. To this day i still think the BOAC livery is one of the nicest...especially on the B707s and 74...
Jump to postThe Pokémon jets are usually domestic versions of the aircraft types so you wont see them outside of Japan.I flew their 777-300 Pokémon jet from Sapporo to Tokyo Haneda in Febuary this year.Theres really nothing special inside the cabin and they pack like 400 passengers inside.Likewise for JAL..they...
Jump to postSWISS...???really?ugh...how plain and utterly boring.I think KAL n KLM's blue is so much nicer.I do agree Thai's is very nice but I still prefer their old livery with their purple running along the fuselage endind with the Thai logo near the front door.
Jump to postSingapore Singapore!!!!Would love to see their aircraft here in Changi.I think HA has one of the nicest liveries and would certainly add color to the rather dull Terminal Buildings here.
Jump to postImagine if you were the cabin crew on duty in the middle of the night while everyone is sleeping..and you see the troll standing outside the galley and asking you for a drink.Or if you were a passenger and you wokeup in the darken cabin to find that troll lying next to you and looking/smiling at you.
Jump to postI think the Thai A380 looks great...but if they had it in their old colors...even better!!!MH just looks dull.....they should add back their red instead of the black and the tail is so boring.
Jump to postYeah i remember many years ago I flew a TG 777 in J and they had a 2-4-2 config.Those must have been when they got their first few 777s before reconfiguring them.
Jump to postWhat was the inflight service like and what was the FAs uniform like?Did they have both male and female FAs?I rremember they used to fly to Asia to Singapore on their beautiful orange 747SPs.Never got to see their crews at Paya Lebar airport and wondered if they layovered in <acronym title="Singapor...
Jump to postWhat was the service like???Did they have any male FAs?I seen the youtube Caledonian Girls commercial and they had very nice uniforms.

In all honesty....on some flights.....what you are eating in J class.....they might be serving the very same thing in economy(i am talking about the hot main course).....except in a smaller portion and in a casserole.The difference in J class is we dish it out on a nice square plate....and garnish i...
