Do like the LH744.
They should convert the upper deck to just 8 seats with a bed like what LH use to offer.
I believe all business class passengers with fight to either pay or other means to get upgraded to the true Private Jet experience.
Every flight between Shanghai and Beijing is a wide-body flight. Same goes for every flight out of Hong Kong to Taipei and other major mainland cities. (if you subscribe to the One-China policy) W
Jump to postIt's a much safer country who cares about the average working class! Why would you not wan to visit?
Jump to postAll of them now the price of fuel about to esculate again. The 748 can carrry cargo which something that the A380 can never do. LH use to lose tons of money flying FRA-JNB now after switching to B748 it has become a profitable route. QF had to get on their knees and ask EK to save them which would n...
Jump to postTime to purchase the B748 with the super efficient engine and boost the profit quickly. LH is making far more profit with the B748 than the A380 so maybe they can copy and learn!
Jump to postAt the least the CX pilot had a female attendant performing which is much better!!
Jump to postHow do people in AMS feel about this that they blocked night time landing in their home city and kill huge freight hub business?
Jump to postWhy don't Boeing just mount the engine on top of the wings like the Honda Jet so they won't need to design new landing gears?
Jump to postPremium flyers wants to fly VLAs. They should immediately order or lease 8-10 B748 intercontinental since they already have the freighter version. Offer real first class and premium business service. I know i look for LH or KE 748 service when ever possible. The cost cutting at CX is getting very si...
Jump to postObviously your don't fly a lot. The B787 always cruise higher on almost all flight i been on transpacific, north south flight etc.
Jump to postDefinitely because they climb much faster and cruise at a higher altitude unlike the B777-300ER or A380 which rarely goes above fl40.

Jump to postWhat happened to the last batch of NWA DC-9-40 maybe they can refurbish those to last another 15 years easy!!
Jump to postNo cabin discipline on deplaning compared to the B747 or any other wide body. Basically u are stuck at immigration behind all other passengers who should have deplaned after premium class.
Jump to postMore reason to hang on to the B744 passengers or do like what BA is doing with their fleet!
Jump to postTake Precision they have a lot more experience on the is route.
Jump to postThere's no place to land for fuel in the Pacific Ocean!
Jump to postThanks a lot! Good to see an a 748 flying around even if it is a cargo.
Jump to postDriving into Seattle today about 3.30pm.
There was a low flying 747 showing off and manuouvering over the city. It looked like the sea hawks plane but I don't think they are in season now., Anyone can clarify just for fun?
SQ and MH is the biggest loser on the flights to Southeast Asia and beyond!!
Jump to postDamn no B748 in the mix! Only CA, LH, and KE to fly on now.
Jump to postNo A380s and reward seats rarely available on international routes. Sounds like the formula.
Jump to postSAA lost the market ever since the silly government require every one to apply for a transit visa just for transferring at the airport!
Jump to postEverybody in Asia knows that the main reason <acronym title="Xian - Xiguan (SIA / ZLXG) (closed), China">SIA</acronym> is no longer profitable is because they fly the A380. The are not the ME3 and will never be able to compete with them given that it is no on anything near a even footing. Bigger is ...
Jump to postAn Airbus doing the same would have stalled??
Jump to postBut it means a much rougher ride thru storms since they don't operate aboue FL250?
Jump to postI can't wait to fly the B748 to Johannesburg it will give SAA plenty of thoughts as to buy which VLA if they want to make goods profits! I just flew recently on <acronym title="British Airways">BA</acronym> A380 first class nothing specials aomparing to the first class on the BA744 which is actually...
Jump to postThe always had a great price on business class whereever they fly. Now the new Dreamliner C cabin is much better then the old B763. Now they just need more stable pilots who don't land their plane is Switzerland instead of original destination!
Jump to postThe problem is the the max altitude of a Turboprop is only FL25000. So many times it can not climb above bad weather and we get rocked around a lot!
Jump to postCA already ordered the B748 so nee for any A380 for the near future as well.
Jump to postLH and Air France is not ordering any more A380s. China Southern lose money on every flight they operate so if you are not subsidized by the state your chance of making money operating such equipment is about nil.
Jump to postThis shows how smart LH management is with the order for the B748 intercontinental knowing that only ME3 can afford to fly the A380 at all!!
Jump to postEvery knows in South Africa why SAA goeing all Airbus. Paying more for an inferior plane especially on take offs from Johannesburg.!
Jump to postIf you are a Cathay pilot you would unfortunately fired by the airline?

Jump to postEveryone is Asia knows that the A380 is killing (SQ) their profit. They have no choice at this time but to order news ones to replace the worn out ones. QF got Emirates to save their ass but doubt they will turn to ME3.
Jump to postHow are they suppose to compete with B772LR with 2 engines on economics? no wonder they are sinking faster and faster
Jump to postLOT Dreamliner almost like first class and Warsaw airport is so easy to transit.
Jump to postAnd they want to make money with the A333neo. What a joke to compete with B789 of their competitors!
Jump to postRE-reply 20
Wrong!! What they need to order is the beloved B748 since they have no problem filling it with people and freight.
So the B772LR will be the longest range passenger plane is the world?
Jump to postjudging by recent events. Airbus really needs it!!
Jump to postThis is great. Everyone gets to experience rocket-take off performance everyday.
Jump to postIf they truly are. they would have purchased the new B748 passenger planes.
