Re: JAL pilot 8 times over the limit at LHR

Doc In Australia we do not use mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood as the standard. We use % concentration of alcohol in the blood. Can you can translate, or direct me to a site that will let me? Thanks Gemuser I stand to be corrected, but 0.05% BAC is approximately 50mg / 100ml, so this guy would hav...

Re: Qantas Airbus A330-303 QF51 BNE - SIN

OP, I have thoroughly enjoyed this and your other recent reviews of ~7-8 year old trips. Even though it has not been that long the product has certainly changed since then. Love how you let the pictures do most of the talking. Thank you. If you stopped flying QF because they never had a pen, sorry b...

Re: Emirates places order for 40 787-10's

Interested to see how they configure it...slightly disappointed personally as I was hoping they'd steer towards the A350, having experienced the 787 and A350 with QR I found the A350 more comfortable. Will keep an open mind..

Re: 2-for-1 Virgin Australia Business: MEL-ADL-SYD (738)+ VA/QF lounges

For my the automated PAs sum up the difference I find VA crew very very robotic, whist QF Crew show a polished old school personality- they are comfortable and confident in their roles. As someone who’s flies VA 1-2 a week the PAs drive me nuts so annoying. Thanks smi0006. Glad it is not just me wh...

2-for-1 Virgin Australia Business: MEL-ADL-SYD (738)+ VA/QF lounges

Welcome to my latest TR: let me take you on a tour of Virgin Australia’s domestic Business Class offering on-board their workhorse Boeing 737-800. I’m flying from Melbourne to Adelaide and later in the week, onto Sydney, so I’m combining the two flights into one review. I’ve never flown VA in J befo...

Re: Emirates New Regional Routes

Yep, ADL has been served since end 2012 by a daily 77W. Good loads too last time I checked.

Re: What are the shortest widebody flights regularly operated?

Again not record breaking but you'll find several 332s on QF's MEL-SYD service which is about 700km

Re: BA CityFlyer LIN-LCY in Business (Club Europe)

Nice report, glad you enjoyed BACF. Now that mainline has gone BoB in economy, BACF is really the stand out operating if you're not in Club. Sadly they too are going BoB sometime this year, so it'll be the end of full service down the back. Due to not having a lounge in LCY, and the lack of seat bl...

BA CityFlyer LIN-LCY in Business (Club Europe)

Background I'm based in Milan for the first six months of 2017, and I've been able to sample several carriers in my travels this year. Of course, being in Europe, it is a market saturated in LCCs, which makes flying cheap and easy but perhaps not too interesting for aviation enthusiasts or trip rep...

Re: Emirates using Israeli Airspace- why and is it common?

Having recently travelled with EK it was quite obvious we were diverting around Israel, through Saudi and then dashing up Egypt and onwards to Europe. The omission of Israel from the map too. Certainly interesting!

Re: If An Aircraft Is En Route to a Nation That Breaks Out In War

Not a war exactly, but interesting nonetheless. On the afternoon MH17 was shot down, EK had a flight en-route to KBP over Armenia (which is about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way to Ukraine), and they turned it around back to DXB. The route was suspended since, probably on cause of poor loads plus regional ins...

Re: Petition for Qantas to sell tickets on JFK-LAX?

Why would QF want to anyway? I don't have the load numbers on me (I'd be curious to look at them), but having travelled on QF11/12 between LAX-JFK earlier this ear, it was more or less full each time. QF get more than enough traffic from PAX who are ticketed onwards to, or from, MEL, BNE or SYD on t...

Re: EK521 TRV-DXB (777-300 A6-EMW) crash landing in DXB

Re: Qantas Intercontinental Routes Question

Obviously it doesn't compensate for 4x daily 744s into LHR, but keep in mind that QF's A380s can carry an extra ~130 pax over a 744. So between the two that fly in daily (QF metal), they would substantially make up for at least one extra 744, assuming full capacity. Plus eight daily EK A380s to LHR ...

Keenly awaiting the QR loads into ADL. Anecdotally, I travelled on EK441/440 out of and into Adelaide this month, and my travelling partners did the same except with QR. My EK flights were very nearly full in J and Y both times, however QR was about half full in Y on both occasions. Given when I boo...

RE: Why Russian Planes Use VP-B Or VQ-B Regs?

I don't know about all of them, but I believe with AZ (eg. their A330 fleet) are all leased in and the leasing companies register the aircraft in Ireland due to (apparently) the lowest associated taxes in the EU.
