Re: Transatlantic J

Hello, From what you have listed here, I would choose UA. Direct flight, quite good on-board service and nice seats. The only part of the "Experience" I tend to see US carriers lack in compare to the European ones are at their lounges in the US and occasionally the cabin crew. From my exp...

Re: Transatlantic J

I would fly Air France, I recently tried their new J seat and I was pleasintly surprised with it. And you can't beat french food like Foie Gras!

Why no winglets on C-GHLK?

The entire 767 fleet of Air Canada Rouge has winglets, they have been either retrofited with them before being delivered to Rouge or simply came with them already installed. However I've noticed that C-GHLK has no winglets and that she has been with Rouge since May, I was wondering if there was a sp...

No special Christmas livery this year at Air Berlin?

Since I started following this livery back in 2011, Air Berlin has painted every year in December on of their airplanes with a special Flying Home For Christmas livery. However, unless I've missed something I have not seen any this year? Did they stop doing it this year? 2011 D-ABMC : 2072206 2012 D...

Re: Identify this aircraft type (is it an A330?)

Does anyone else have that color of grey on the belly + fly A330s? Honestly don't know, but at a loss as to anyone else. Yes, Lufthansa. But they don't operate -200s and their A330 fleet is Trent powered which this A330 is not. So my money is also on a A330-223 of Turkish Airlines. As for the peopl...

Re: Delta to begin Saturday DC-Florida flights

Some of DL's JFK-TPA flights operate with the CRJ-900. It is a comfortable seat with only around 70 passengers. Most passengers gate check their larger carry on bags so you don't have as much of a hold up with storing the bags in the over heads. I use to avoid the CRJ 7 & 9 flights and now I li...

Re: Which carriers do not fly on Christmas day?

It's beyond me to why anyway sane who celebrates Christmas would want to go on anything but the shortest flight on Christmas Day or have an early arrival. We who celebrate Christmas are a minority in the world, so its totally logical for airlines and companies to offer service (maybe limited) on th...

10 Years Old Girl Dies On Air Canada Flight

A 10-year-old girl died Saturday after falling ill aboard a transatlantic Air Canada flight. The airline says Toronto-to-London flight AC868 diverted to Shannon, Ireland, after the child suffered a medical problem. Air Canada says a doctor and a nurse were on board the plane and helped the flight c...

Qantas serves dildo shaped root vegetable to passenger

A plane passenger got quite a surprise when she received a decidedly phallic-shaped meal on a Qantas flight from Sydney to Brisbane. Perhaps this is what you get when you upgrade to business class, as this woman did. The passenger, who did not want to be named, told news.com.au: “I asked the server...

Suing for monetary damages is appropriate in this case by all means. The crew, one dead and the other with no career left, likely supported families and millions in potential earnings is now lost.

How sad. Tragic. Poor man... I really hope the families of the pilots involved received adequate monetary compensation. Wow, that is really low in my opinion. You can't replace someone with money, and money won't change the situation. I personally find it useless to have a monetary compensation as ...

It would be an added expense with little if any revenue upside to offset the cost. - You mean perfectly rational livery decisions? So they don't look great. Who cares?

I think the whole idea of logos and lettering on the belly is a silly idea. Same goes for winglets, which as merely upturned wingtips, should remain grey.

Re: What if American Airlines painted their logo on the belly of their planes?

I agree that the new logo would fit nicely on winglets as well, and maybe their website or something? I find that it would be a better idea to paint the logo of the airline instead of its name on the belly because if you have letters painted you need to place your head the correct way to read it whe...
