If you look at KSFB it went from a Class D to Class C below the MCO B a few years ago. This was very needed. KSFB was incredibly busy with all the flight training and a huge uptick in commercial air service including European heavies including 747s. I did a lot of flight training out of what was Del...

Jump to postIt was a busy time trying to get home from MDW to PHX. Using apps, I found that I could get home as followed via Southwest MDW to SDF to BHM to BNA to PHX. The crazy thing is that I only had to change aircraft once. The first two legs were same flight number. Then the BHM to BNA was using same aircr...
Jump to postI'm guessing no one here has ever parked at east economy and taken the Skytrain in? Takes about 30 seconds. Or if I'm picking up, I'd rather avoid the airport entirely and have them ride the Skytrain to the 44th street station and pick them up there. While Sky Train is convenient, you might have to...
Jump to postI find it odd that there isn’t a new design (unless I looked over it) that puts phx in a better position for international expansions. Terminal 4 seems to be at capacity....especially in the winter because of lack of gate space. They need a concept, maybe even one that allows big international expa...
Jump to postI have gone back and now see a concept that has international moving...but it also appears it will be limited and the walk for international pax.....yikes!

Jump to postCan’t forget that all airlines had to cut capacity the last couple of years in winter to deal with the 8/26 runway closure. I’ve also noticed less availability of gates because of construction. During the closures, I did a lot of time lapse photography of the traffic and it’s insane how busy the two...
Jump to postThe article is non-sense. What killed STL, MEM, CLE, CVG and so on is more than just geography. - The hubs were simply not profitable. - O & D numbers low - Cities with slower economies, growth and potentially shrinking populations. Phoenix is a booming city with a growing economy with lots of s...
Jump to postIn the United States, the problem is and always has been the lack of consistent enforcement of the carryon baggage rules. This! Americans pack way too much! I’ve personally seen a family of 5 who check in 50lbs massive suitcases for each adult and their 3children plus had large carryons & backp...
Jump to postOne cool thing from a window seat perspective is if you fly the LHR to PHX route in December, you get to see a 10.5 hr sunset. I experienced this on December 13th, 2017. I also got to see this in December of 2009, but we left a little late so it was for only 2/3rds of the flight. Snapped this first ...
Jump to postAnother thing I notice was the female cabin crew on all my BA flights no longer wore hats. In the past, I kind of found flying BA as an opportunity for me to experience some of the "golden age" of flying. Is this a recent change? I personally thought this uniform touch gave the airline so...
Jump to postI have flown this route RT 3 times, most recently in Nov/Dec 2017. While I can't say I am a BA expert, I've flown them a decent amount of times out of LHR to various destinations in Europe and Egypt. I love this route for the 747, and non stop Europe flight, but it greatly needs an interior update. ...
Jump to post[quote="airzona11"]Anyone have any knowledge of the loads of the BA flights with those 3 weekly additions? Very cool to see PHX getting 2 international widebodies certain days, fun for us in Phoenix. Just pulled today's loads up.. and Wednesday.... I've been monitoring the flight from time...
