I was booked on a WN flight from BUR-SFO last night (Sunday, Sep 8) . The 8pm departure showed as on time until about 3 hours before departure, then it immediate took a 4 hour delay. Luckily, WN was very willing to change the ticket to any LA area airport to any Bay Area airport. I was rebooked on a...
Jump to postLooks like UA cancelled one of the two daily CLE-SFO flights come September. No more redeye from SFO or evening flight to SFO. Unfortunately I found this out since I was booked on both. Just for September, I believe; SFO is closing a runway for paving work. The October schedule shows two flights ag...

In the 14 flights I've had on China Eastern I've smelled cigarette smoke on every one of the transpac flights. I think the flight attendants do a bit of smoking too because I can sometimes smell it on them toward the end of the flight. But the fares are great...

Good for the pilots holding their own and not giving in. :scratchchin: Not giving in to what? Good for the pilots not giving into the snark of the controller or doing something they were pressured to do because they saw it as potentially unsafe. ATC clearly made it known to the pilots that they wer...

Who cares? Revolting stuff; full of sugar. I have never seen the appeal of cola drinks myself. I'd much rather a dry ginger ale or tonic (with gin of course). Ginger Ale has anywhere from 25-35g of sugar per 12oz serving, tonic water has 30-35g of sugar per 12oz serving. For comparison, Coca-Cola h...

Jump to postI haven't flown either, but I live near SFO where there are quite a few UA 787 flights.The A350 does seem slightly more exotic at the moment.
Jump to postLooking at flights between HAN-SGN on VN, they fly a mix of A321, A350, and 788s. Which would you fly and why? I'll be traveling in Y and all of the flights are roughly the same price.
Jump to postLandings on the 19s and departures on the 10s make for some interesting traffic changes. I grabbed this picture yesterday of the lineup for departures on the 10s:

How many international routes have been added to SFO in the last 5 years? Seems like quite a lot.
Jump to postIt's actually to reduce the amount of direct light (heat) that enters the terminal through the windows. This means less air conditioning needed, and an overall environmentally friendlier building. It's one of the ways the renovated SFO T2 achieved LEED Gold certification.
