I will "give him respect" when he shows he deserves it, it does not come automatically. The same with support for his work. As a passenger, I do no like what he has done, especially to his decisions with the elite flyers. So, he has already made his "mark" known, and I cannot sup...
Jump to postI am very sorry to hear this. Kirby is not the person you need at a time like this. He is the death knell of this airline.

These were very well known at the time. They were reported on TV and even had some live reporting on them. Very prominent at the time. There was no pre security at the time, you just walked up to the gate and boarded, even with family and friends. There was not the type of social media or internet, ...
Jump to postMaybe AA will replace QR's flights to PHL? It's considered the worst performing US route I think so AA could use a 787 which has less capacity. How bad is PHL for QR? I have flown from PHL on QR a few times and never had a packed plane, but J was pretty good. I would really miss QR. Fantastic produ...
Jump to postPEK can be a difficult airport to transit. If you are on separate tickets and have to go through Customs and Immigration the very, very minimum would be 3 1/2 hours and even longer.
Jump to postI see that the flight is now a 777. Does that have the QSuites ? I was on it last Monday and it was still the 350. No QSuites unfortunately but will go back to a 350-900 in September with QSuites Great news that the return of the 350 in September will be with the QSuites and not keep the present 77...

Jump to postNot sure why Delta opted to call it a mechanical issue instead of crew shortage or something. At the end Delta not only has egg on its face due to the pilots actions but also it's apparent initial cover up. Needless added bad PR. It is part of the culture of airlines to lie, especially if something...

Jump to postQatar and its neighbors have had a falling out, over a year ago, and several surrounding countries will not allow the airline to fly there anymore, or even fly over their airspace. Thus, QATAR has a lot of idle aircraft so they are leasing them to other airlines. BA has leased some of their aircraft...
Jump to postI believe you're incorrect about no security rescreening when connecting international to domestic, unless you're talking about a flight which precleared at its origin (DUB for instance). I was talking about TSA screening after you clear customs. Once you clear customs you are cleared onto your con...
Jump to postThey did fly EWR-NRT in the past, I was on that flight. IT may have been an SP, since I believe it was before the 747-400.

Jump to postTo be honest I don't think Oscan Munoz is the problem with United. It is far to easy to just blame the CEO and say he is to blame it sort of like blaming the coach with a team fails to perform.

Jump to postHave you ever done the drive? It’s quite easy with the M7. A bit more than 2 hours. It is easy to say "rent a car". However. to just get to the airport it does not make a lot of sense: 1. Cost of pick up in one city, drop in another 2. Insurance 3. If you do not drive stick you are very l...
Jump to postIf the US3 actually offered a good product, consistency and service then there would not be a need for all this. QATAR offers a far better product than any US3. It is time for them to grow up. Get rid of the horrible employees and remember that it is a service industry.
I have no sympathy for the US3
What’s the actual point of this thread? It’s nothing new that EK flies to FLL. +1 What is the point of this thread? EK has been flying to FLL for a while now.

Jump to postSay what you want about his comments, but having flown QR and UA, AA etc., there is no comparison at all regarding service. They are not even the same universe.
Jump to postYears ago I was on UA LHR-IAD, we were diverted to Bangor, Maine, because Cat Stephens was on board and considered a no flyer. Last month I was on QATAR DOH-BKK and was diverted to another Thai airport (still not sure which one) due to thunder storms in BKK. Was there about two hours. There was anot...
Jump to postThere is no comparison between the hard/soft/service product between QTAR and DELTA. Qatar far outshines Delta and that has NOTHING to do with subsidies, but service culture.
Jump to postI just finished four segments on QATAR PHL-DOH-BKK-DOH-PHL in J. It has to be the best J experience I have ever had. I am sick and tired of the US airlines complaining about the ME3. If the US airlines EVER produces a hard/soft product or service by FA and staff, Lounges, etc that QR did, then compl...

Jump to postI have been there several times and love it. There is a lot to see/do. A lot of South Africa is not really safe, you have to use your head. I agree to never use public transportation. As for a safari, the big places are in Kruger above Jo'burg. I would never turn down a trip to Cape Town.
Jump to postWe can complain all we want, but the airlines can pretty much do what they want, they all do the same thing. On American airlines long haul if you purchase your tickets far in advance you can pick a seat for free. You do know that on many short haul flights you have to pay for your baggage? On long ...
Jump to postMaybe the US Airlines should be required to bring back the reservation agents and customer service from India and other foreign lands?
