Jump to postAA has 217 Airbus A321CEO in its fleet. How many of those have sharklets, how many do not?
Or is there a particular year from which on all deliveries were sharklet A321s, and the ones older than that (including the ones taken over from US) do not have sharklets?
Thanks.

AF/KL + DL is definitely the right partner for ITA (as opposed to StarAlliance). Perhaps the Italian State Railway can invest later on as a way to keep more of the enterprise in Italian hands. Linking/codesharing to the rail system makes sense for tourism/package deals. Please enlighten us: why is ...

I have an impression it's 22, but wanted to hear from people who know the place better.

BA was flying to Bandar Seri Begawan for many years, and I think up until the 1980s. Last flights I tihnk to remember were on 747s that then went on to Australia.
Does someone remember the exact routing of those flights? Thanks.
Either way, I wouldn't envy the ones responsible for naming 70 777s. International capital cities, incl. Paris? 777s are the international flagships - they should take up the scheme from the 707s. There must be at least 70 Chateaux in France. Each one is a subject of local pride and a good story ab...

So the JFK-LAX/SFO flights are then all CEOs? As you said above, the low-density ones are CEO, this is what I conclude, is that right?
The title says it all, I was wondering, which type of Airbus A321 are flying Transcontinental routes for American Airlines?

Jump to postTitle says it all. Does THY own the gates it uses at IST? Or are all gates common use, so that THY can use any gate at the airport? Are gates clustered by alliance (Star Alliance close to THY), or not at all?
They are the dominant carrier at IST, a bit like DL at ATL, so I was wondering
No, it begins after lift-off, aside from normal small pressure, 0.125 PSID, IIRC, on taxi. The cabin descends to the normal scheduled altitude for the flight. If going from Quito to Guayaquil, it’d start right down toward sea level as it’s a short flight. If Quito to MIA, it’d descend to normal cab...
Jump to postIrrespective Oxygens masks, won’t there be a cabin pressure alert in the cockpit already during approach/landing? Crews set altitude of the landing field, and then cabin pressure adjusts to that. But if that cabin pressure is 13’000 feet, won’t that trigger an alert?
Jump to postLufthansa used to have a flight in the 1980s I think (maybe early 1990s as well) that routed Frankfurt-San Juan-Bogota-Lima-La Paz, using 747-200s.
