I am an American expat living in Ghana, West Africa. We had a number of US visitors here when flights were shut down. Most of them ended up leaving on repatriation flights. They were told to expect to pay up to 2,000 USD each. However, there have been instances in the past of evacuated passengers ne...
Jump to postI am an American expat living in Ghana. I never flew SAA, but many people with our organization regularly used their IAD-ACC-IAD flight. Sometime in 2019 it went daily, and it was quite popular. It was part of the daily JNB-ACC-IAD-ACC-JNB route. I know a number of people who had tickets with SAA, e...
Jump to postFolks need to get a clue that just because you go to DST, doesn't mean you magically add an hour of daylight to the day - you just shift it to the right.......... Does anyone actually think that? I don't think so. The idea is to shift the daylight to a more useful time on the clock. In general, DST...
Jump to postI'm pretty certain I flew a DC-10 to KUL at one point. I also flew the DC-10s many times between SFO and NRT. In addition, NW flew the 10s to BOM Yes, you are correct. In the mid nineties NW flew a DTW-AMS-BOM rotation on a DC-10 30. It didn't last very long. Maybe a year. I'm pretty certain they f...

Tarom does not fly to Chicago, they just announced their intention to do so, like they did a few times in the past. I flew Tarom ORD-TSR and OTP-ORD (with a brief stop in AMS) back in 1997. I believe it was operated by an A300. The routing of the outbound flight was unknown until we arrived at ORD ...
Jump to postYeah I saw that the airport was not exactly in Lancaster but we're planning to arrive via Amtrak to Lancaster at like 9am and the flight (in theory) leaves at 2pm so we have loads of time to get to the airport from wherever we find ourselves in the area that day. I have heard that 9X sometimes move...
Jump to postThinking about taking the LNS-BWI EAS route they operate as part of a day trip I have planned when I´m stateside in April. That said the delay/cancellation tendencies of 9X I´ve heard about worries me a bit. I don´t really care as I´m doing it more for the C208 but I have a buddy agreeing to go tha...

Update: I booked BWI-MGW-PIT. I booked the longer layover in MGW to give me time to experience the restaurant. It wouldn't do much good to take the earlier flight to PIT, because the people I'm meeting won't be there until later anyway. I'm very much looking forward to the experience! The trip is in...
Jump to postSince this is a forum for aviation enthusiasts, it is somewhat likely that OP wants to fly this route and experience the Cessna 208 Caravan or the Piper PA-31 Chieftains. If OP wanted to experience the car or the Southwest 737, he would probably just have chosen either of these options and not post...
Jump to postI need to fly BWI-PIT. Southern Airways Express is an option that looks interesting, plus it is by far the cheapest. The two itinerary options that work for my schedule have a layover in either MGW (Morgantown, WV) or DUJ (Dubois, PA). The layover options and overall flight schedules are very simila...

Jump to postI do that quite a bit. Not only here, but on other forums as well. Sometimes I "cool down" by the time I'm done typing and reconsider my attitude. Other times, it seems that simply typing it out is the only therapy I need, and not posting my response saves flamebait.
