Does anyone recall when NZ ceased operating WLG-OOL? I remember that had come from Freedom Air back in 2008. Was curious as to when it ended. Cheers.
Jump to postCan anyone recall or know when South African Airways ceased operations at Amsterdam? Thanks for any information.
Jump to postTWA actually did a short lived experimental 11 abreast configuration on the 747-131 around early 1983. If I recall correctly, the seating was 3-5-3. The middle section of five seats had a jagged layout so as to provide room for elbows. This setup was only in the forward most coach cabin (zone C) as ...

Jump to postThe press release mentions five new wide body gates. Are all of these in the concourse B, gate 14 and 16 area or combined with the new wide body gates in the former American Eagle area in concourse B, gate 31?
Jump to postIt was mentioned in AA's 1976 annual report. The 1976 annual report said the facility had opened in early 1977, and would be doubled in size in 1977. Prior to the opening of the customs facility, the "general information" page of AA's timetables said that international arrivals from places...
Jump to postWhen AA purchased Trans Caribbean in 1971, they began using T7 for international arrivals. AA continued to use T7 for international arrivals until a customs facility was completed in AA's terminal in 1977. Thanks for that AA terminal history regarding the addition of the customs facility being compl...
Jump to postFor what it's worth, Eastern ceased DFW operations in August, 1988. Not sure if they were still in 2E by that point.
Jump to postSJC and at one time OAK were co-terminals of the main SFO crew base, as JFK, LGA and EWR are co-terminals of New York crew base and DCA, IAD and BWI are co-terminals of Washington crew base. The only satellite of SFO was SMF from 2012. SEA was a stand alone crew base from 1991 until early 2002.
Jump to postAppears as if 757 Luxuryliner signage was removed from the 757 fleet during 2003. Not certain about other fleet types.
Jump to postDoes anyone recall where the former runway 14-32 at JFK was located? Apparently this STOL runway closed in 1990. Can’t find any specific information on where on the property it was located.
Jump to postThanks for the info about the A321 refurbishment. Do you know the N # of the last aircraft that was reconfigured?

Jump to postCan anyone offer clarification on EI DUB-SFO service? I had read that the service was set to resume in 25 Feb. Looking at flight aware however it appears as if EI 61 has been operating since at least Dec, 2021. Also the new flight number is confusing. Could these be cargo flights? I've tried searchi...
Jump to postHas there been any update or discussion regarding the future of 777s ZK-OKN, OKO and OKQ recently. Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere.
Cheers.
Will be nice to see Qantas back in DEL. Was it in 1974 that QF ceased services at DEL, along with CMB?
Jump to postWhen was BDA last served from JFK? Didn't realize that this route no longer operates. Thanks for any replies.
Jump to postWas the T5 FIS utilized at all since DL moved to T2 / T3?
Jump to postWhat a journey for VH-ZNH. Thought it interesting that they departed Rwy 29 at EZE and also landed Rwy 29 at DRW.
Forgive me if this has been discussed, but why the QF14 flight number?

Does anyone know what became of the MIA-PBM Paramaribo proposed service?
Jump to postThey are A321-231 aircraft. Not NEOs.
Cheers.
The retro TCA scheme on C-FZUH appeared in August of 1997. AA's retro 757 scheme unveiled in January of 1999 was actually a "Flagship" scheme, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first 707 in 1959. The Astrojet scheme didn't appear until 1962 and this retro scheme was later applied to ...
Jump to postAt SFO, Terminal 1 I was recently looking at the yet to be opened new gates and noticed that gate B11 has a jetway extending from an upper level area (also not yet completed). Could this have been envisioned for an A380?
Jump to postLooks like no further Qantaslink 717 operations in WA. VH-NXG, VH-NXL and VH-NXM did their last flights into PER from PBO and ZNE on 26 March.
The 717s were so much a part of WA going back to 2005 when they transitioned from Jetstar.
Is this the first time, or one of the few times that two carriers from the same country have been in the same global alliance?
Jump to postIn the 1 Jan 1972 Qantas timetable, QF757 (Th) operated SYD-BNE-MNL-HKG-DEL-THR-VIE-AMS-LHR, QF761 (Sa) operated SYD-MNL-HKG-DEL-THR-ATH-AMS-LHR. Both utilizing V-jet 338s of course. Next Qantas timetable that I have is effective 4 Mar 1973 and HKG is not included on the Kangaroo Route. Also FWIW lo...

Jump to postQantas began SYD-LAX in April, 1984 with the 747SP-38.
Jump to postBA began MCO back in 1985. For the first several years via MIA, BDA or MAN. Does anyone know when BA first began nonstop service to MCO? I assume this would have been from LGW. Cheers.
Jump to postDoes anyone recall when AA introduced a sort of southwest (Arizona, New Mexico - not the airline) inspired type of color pattern of Y seats in the early '90s?
I recall that they were on a DC-10 and very nice and more professional in appearance that the grey / blue combo that is being discussed.
Haven't read anything recently about the NJS 717s that are going to mainline. Anyone know how that is progressing?
Jump to postCan anyone on here confirm that BA58 CPT-LHR on 4 Jun 20, operating with G-CIVP was in fact the last 747 passenger service with BA? Sorry if I have missed this being mentioned elsewhere.
Jump to postThe postcard text when referring to the Luxuryliner zone B tables includes the phrase "or hold a business meeting". Perhaps a marketing replacement for the absence of the Astroliner stateroom? The text also refers to the "redecorated first class lounge", validating that something...
Jump to postThanks for re-posting those images. Seems AA was, understandably experimenting with their first factory fresh Astroliners. The fact that they had the PA upper deck configuration on the safety cards and not the stateroom config. is noteworthy. Seems they weren't fully on board with the stateroom plan...
Jump to postI can't seem to access the images of the paa upper deck. Was it the one with the semi-circular couch, or the standard "Boeing 747" generic upper deck lounge setup?
Jump to postI so respect your tenacity wernerga3 with all of your research on this topic. You have unearthed previously hidden data regarding the Astroliner staterooms. As much as I have been interested in topics such as these I never knew about this initial AA 747 configuration. Being that all of the airlines ...
Jump to postDelta initiated 747-132 service on 25 Oct 1970. While I'm not certain if DL had the "Penthouse" setup when the type began revenue operations, I suppose it's possible that they liked what they saw in AA's Astroliners "stateroom" that had entered service in June.
Jump to postNice catch on the phrase upper deck stateroom, The Captain's Deck. While the accompanying map in that brochure does show the Pan Am seat map (main deck galley units for PA vs. lower galleys for AA), I'm sure we can eliminate any possibility that the PA 747-121s had that "private stateroom"...
Jump to postFor the upper deck lounge we'd leave a plastic cup containing a certain amount of coat tags at the bottom of the stairs for passengers to take before going upstairs. If the cup was empty you couldn't go up. This was because there were only so many oxygen masks in the lounge in case of a decompressio...
Jump to postWhat a great post. I'd never before seen the two early 747 seat maps that you posted. It appears as if AA continued to call their own 747s Astroliners upon initial delivery. AA must have installed the couch lounge and more familiar upper deck lounge and renamed the 747s Luxuryliners shortly after de...
