Re: User's rides

I absolutely love my 2019 Volvo XC40 R-Design. It is a T5 with the 252hp 2.0l engine. I had a Mercedes C200 before, but the rough asphalt of my city made me look for a SUV. Yeah, I know it's kind of a trend in some places, but this Volvo really exceeded my expectations. I love every bit of it, speci...

Re: São Paulo to Orlando aboard LATAM - Airbus A350-900

Thanks for sharing this with us. During this gloomy time it is a bring spot to read about travel, even if it was from a year ago. A350 on LATAM looks like a reasonably comfortable Y ride... especially if you have a trio of seats to yourself! Yes, I was really lucky on that day. On the flight back t...

Re: São Paulo to Orlando aboard LATAM - Airbus A350-900

Great report! Looks like a really nice experience. I often miss having a meal or small snack on a flight. The food festival in Epcot also looks delicous. Maybe one day i will also have an opportunity to go there. Thanks a lot! It was a very pleasing experience with LATAM, I was really suprised. Go ...

Re: São Paulo to Orlando aboard LATAM - Airbus A350-900

Great report! Could you mention the flight time? I´m curious about how many hours it takes to get from GRU to MCO. I did GRU-MIA and I can´t recall. The food looks great. Better the lunch than the breakfast but the mere fact that they serve a real meal as the second service is outstanding in this e...

Re: The airline that won my loyalty: All Nippon Airways (Manila to Tokyo-Narita) in Y

Awesome report!!
ANA is on top of my airline wishlist and whenever I see reports like this, my desire to go to Japan with them gets even bigger.
The meals look fantastic!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Re: São Paulo to Orlando aboard LATAM - Airbus A350-900

What a great report and a fun reminder of what travel used to be like (and hopefully, that it will come back). Surprised LATAM was using the A359 on GRU-MCO but very cool nonetheless. Yes, LATAM used the 767 on low season and the 77W on high until 2018. For 2019 the A350 was scheduled year round wh...

São Paulo to Orlando aboard LATAM - Airbus A350-900

Hello everyone! This trip to Orlando occurred last September, before the Covid-19 pandemic has spread worldwide.

Re: *Video Only* Virgin Atlantic 747-400 Orlando to Belfast - VIDEO

The video showing the little avgeek perspective is so awesome!! It reminded me so much of MCO in the 90's, when I was around the boy's age, Virgin operated a mix of the -200 and -400 series there. I have always been amazed by them and used to envy those VS passengers, when my ride was usually a Tran...

Re: Do we dislike our national carriers?

Everytime I flew with TAM they were a mess. I really avoided this airline domestic or international, as I had rough experiences on both. My last time with them was in 2012 and ever since they became LATAM I haven't tried their service. Anyways, I still keep looking for GOL or Azul on domestic and fo...
