Re: Airport Mistakes

LAS - After God knows how many years, they "shoehorn" most of the passenger vehicles into the T1 arrivals/departures areas causing daily chaos, while those same airlines (Delta and AA) are much closer to T3. Meanwhile, the T3 arrivals/departures area is completely underutilized and has bee...

Re: Passenger Opens door before landing Asiana A321

I have two comments on this: 1) Is it possible that there is enough disturbed air just off the back of the wing where this door was located, that airflow can actually wrap around and travel forward? 2) Why did they keep these passengers sitting right where the open door was? Shouldn't they have been...
