Great report. Thank you for your efforts.

Re: BA57 - Strange Routing

Yup. Avoiding French ATC due to industrial action. I flew to Rome on the 15/3 out of LHR and we went Belgium then down through Germany to avoid France.

Re: American Airlines considering flying to SIN

That is not quite true. SIN is a major scissor hub for AA’s TPAC JV partner, QF. On any evening in SIN, there’s a bank of QF aircraft heading to points all over Australia. If you were in PER or CNS, say, a one-stop routing to SEA/DFW via SIN would be preferable to two stops via SYD and LAX on QF. I...

Re: American Airlines considering flying to SIN

AA has no feed at the SIN end and any flight that long is always challenged when fuel prices are high. That is not quite true. SIN is a major scissor hub for AA’s TPAC JV partner, QF. On any evening in SIN, there’s a bank of QF aircraft heading to points all over Australia. If you were in PER or CN...

Re: TATL flights to GLA and EDI

Forgot about AirTransat to YYZ Fair, but there's a rather distinct difference between 0 and a half-dozen, when it comes to transatlantic nonstops. :lol: Most airports in the UK would kill to have what GLA does, lol. Yeah, I can't believe SOU doesn't have a flight to JFK. Jeez, what are you going to...

This is definitely news and i hope those all injured, recover shortly but if you are sat in your seat why on earth can you not buckle the belt. its not rocket science.

Re: Edinburgh Ryanair passengers 'terrified' after 'group of 70' swig vodka and party onboard

...they are a reliable and safe operation. What you see here is everything but a safe operation. And the next shipment of cretins can now see that they can do pretty much anything on board Ryanair. I guess you don't want someone flourishing a portable speaker over your head the next time you fly an...

Re: Jet2 Increases Airbus Order With 35 New A320neo

Having flown them a number of times of out BHX, I have been pleasantly surprised with them.

Re: Rumor: American Airlines To Eliminate International First Class Product

Surprises me that AA have taken this long to potentially ditch F internationally. Unless you are offering something off the chart ala SQ, with the enhancement of the J product, I cannot see any reason for F in this day and age.

Re: Lufthansa lost its 5 star rating

Does anyone even look at Skytrax, been a bit of a joke for some time.
That said, LH 5 star. Nope!

Re: AC Launches seasonal YVR-BKK (Nonstop) and YYZ-BOM (via LHR)

Cannot see long term success with BOM via LHR but I hope I am wrong. I just don't see the feed being there from the Star partners and BA will defend this route big time.

Shameful scenes. You cannot ban alcohol because of a few idiots but I do think that better policing needs to be introduced, whether that be at security, at the gate or onboard. Over the limit...sorry your not flying. I would be the first to admit that that some of these people just hurl abuse but so...

Ballistic missiles…FFS, what in the hell is going on, and where did the Houthi rebels get hold of these…? Amazon. Next day delivery with Prime!

Re: United New International Routes October 28, 8:00 a.m. ET

2 x DEN - LHR. Wow!! They always used to struggle with a daily! No, they didn't? Yes they did. They operated with a 777 back in something like 2008-2010 (stand to be corrected on exact dates) but it was not dropped because it was a stellar performer! possibly the 777 was too much aircraft back then?
