UA 777 / 767 PTV

Hi guys,

Does United have PTV's on both planes. I am pretty sure that 777 has them, but what about 767? the 777 flight is from FRA-IAD and the 767 flight is IAD-Dusseldorf.

Thanks...

RE: Finnair Future Fleet

Finnair bought Kar-Air years back and in the deal they got 2 A300-B4's. They were all the time used in charter flights until they were replaced by 752's

Well this is good news as I believe my flight is leaving from Pier E (Northwest). And even if the flight leaves some other Pier, I'm still lucky enough to see some action in Schiphol.

AMS Schiphol

Hi

I'm going to fly from HEL-AMS-IAD on saturday. There is a good 2 hours to wait in AMS so where should I head for some spotting. Should I (is it even possible to) leave the transit-area. I read that there is a Panorama Terrace but it is not open for public anymore.

RE: Do Airlines Give Babies Born On Planes Free Tixs?

RE: Finnair To Hong Kong

Finnair is reducing its flights to JFK to 6 per week instead of 7 and increasing flights to BKK by 1 per week. This could be because of the Hong Kong route which is via BKK.
