This will really impact India to Europe/USA Not really. India to Europe/USA doesn’t use Iranian airspace. They transit the ‘Stans, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. All those airspaces are still open. Northern and eastern Iranian airspace is still open as well. This isn’t all doom and gloom. At least...

Jump to postMy only fear of flying is being in the toilet when sudden CAT hits and you hit the roof. This happened to me.

Jump to postWondering if United will ever restart BKK, either from SFO or NRT. Seems like the next logical Asian destination. That and/or Vietnam.
Jump to postHow exactly does this happen? The 777 wheel seems to have about 20 "lug nuts" (for lack of the technical term) attaching the wheel to the main landing gear. Does it break at the main gear itself? I wish United would start agressively retiring the PW 777-200 fleet. I recently flew one from ...

Jump to postI do wonder two questions, and maybe some pilots can chime in on this: 1) How long can a given A320 fly before needing spare parts outside of MEL? 2) Once Russia runs out: I could easily see directives from Putin's government to Aeroflot to continue flying (unless it's a major part missing).

Jump to postUnited's US-India flights have taken a southerly route today, over Spain/Portugal and through the Mediterranean Sea, over Saudi Arabia, and down into India.
I imagine the US is about to close it's airspace to Russian Airlines.
The main US flights this is going to affect are US-India. They will have to take the route of AA on their DEL-JFK runs. Potentially a tech stop somewhere.
My question is what is going to happen to all of the EU-Japan/Korea flights?
No, this was not only audible, I felt it. I was in a rear facing business seat, and both times on the A350-1000 I was thrown into the back of my seat rather abruptly due to the quick deceleration. I've flown the A350-900 many times and this has never happened. This happened both on DFW-DOH and on D...
Jump to postMore likely what has happened is your ears have played tricks on you. Sometimes the standard departure from airports has a relatively low level off segment, this is often to allow for other aircraft to cross above. When the aircraft levels off it can feel like deceleration, because you are level th...
Jump to postHey there! It's been so long since I've posted on Airliners.net. I've been in the forums since around 1998, but not super-active as of recent. I have a question about the A350-1000 going from max thrust to climb thrust. Recently I flew with Qatar Airways to Dubai. The DFW-DOH sectors were on an A350...
Jump to postIt looks as though Qatar 729/730, to and from DFW, briefly went to a 777-300ER and now has returned to the A350-1000. My flight schedule this weekend with Qatar has reflected these changes. A350-1000 to a 777-300ER, back to an A350-1000.
Is Qatar shuffling the fleet around this summer?
I am booked to fly DFW-DOH-DXB July 11. Seems that QR has switched the flight from an A350-1000 back to a 777-300ER. Would this have to do with the additional frequencies at DFW?
Also, what are the new frequencies for DFW? I get it's 12 x week, but what days are double?
