Jump to postThe issue is far broader than what AA or UA will do. Airlines all over the world including Japanese airlines cant operate the flights they wish to due lack of demand or government regulations.

Jump to postAmericans can't enter Japan today without a PCR test and 14-day quarantine. Americans (and people of all non-Japanese nationalities who have recently been in 120+ countries, i.e. most major nations on Earth) are totally banned from entering Japan. Doesn't matter if you are willing to take a PCR or ...

So they anticipate that at least Taiwan and Macau will open border to each other in June?

Jump to postI can’t believe how alarmist and ridiculous some of the replies here are. My word!
Jump to postI always thought the SAS fuselage looked like a dirty white plane.
Jump to postDMK is such an awful facility. The oldest operating airport in Asia and it shows; immigration queues that make Suvarnabhumi's look tame. To say nothing of how bad the traffic is from there to anywhere in Bangkok south of Sukhumvit Road—there are traffic jams inside the drop off/pick up area!
Jump to postWhat's this obsession with mergers and consolidation? It's as if some people on here won't be happy until the US is left with a single carrier. In general, I would say most posters here seem to stan whatever perspective or outcome would benefit the carriers or shareholders, rather than passengers. ...
Jump to postAustin should focus on building useful public transit, solving its homelessness problem and building more affordable housing before aiming for more international flights. It’s one of the most provincial “cool” cities in America, and its people are provincial and see the world in a myopic way, but it...
Jump to postWhen combined with the horrendous Zip Air Tokyo concept, this really makes me wonder who's running the show, creatively, at JL. And I say this as someone who loves their current minimalistic livery!
Jump to postWhen I taught English in Shanghai later that year, a (French) student of mine revealed that his best friend had died in that crash. What was especially sad is that he'd had a lifelong fear of flying, and he'd been coming home from his first long haul trip.
Jump to postI was in Mongolia last year, and Koreans were by far the most prevalent travelers, for leisure and for business. UB has almost as many Korean restaurants as Mongolian ones (mercifully).

SIN-SEA is 14 hours 40 minutes block time so unfortunately the B781 cannot operate this route nonstop.

Are they preparing for the facility (and the city) to be underwater by 2050?
Jump to postMe too. And I think it will look even better on larger planes. I imagine the reason it looks so LCC-ish on the 737 is because the 737 is a popular LCC aircraft of choice, not because of the logo itself...

Jump to postTG is definitely not preferred at BKK. TG planes seem to deplane at remote stands more often than other airlines, for one.
Jump to postI love how my posts calling out climate denial were removed, but the people denying it are free to keep doing so.

Jump to postCan you imagine flying in a ratchet, decade-old Continental business class seat for 16 hours? No thanks.

Jump to postIt is overrated, though. It’s a good city, maybe a great one, but far from the best. Yet most people who sing its praises write a symphony.
Jump to post1) NYC is the most overrated place on the planet. 2) I'm shocked more of the climate deniers who post here haven't come in this thread to "debunk" the obvious truths being stated here. 3) The aviation industry will be among the most screwed by climate change, which is actually poetic justi...
Jump to postI understand wanting a "real" airline on TATL, but why BA? They offer one of the worst J experiences among global carriers, and aren't anything special in economy either.
Jump to postI shutter when the words "ride the metro" are said in this city given the amazing track record of security. When I flew from FOD-STL last summer, every single person on that flight was coming to STL for the weekend and going to the Cardinals games. They told me they just ride Metro downto...
Jump to postTaiwan is what the rest of China could've been.
Jump to postIndonesia in particular is a very low-yield destination. Malaysia is too, it seems, though the general economic trajectory of the country (it's more or less "developed" at this point) would suggest that shouldn't be the case to the extent it is.
Jump to postThe seats are angle-flat, and are the same as what OZ, KE, TG, etc. offer on some Asia routes in J. I knew the food service wouldn't be on the same level, but I was amazed at just how awful it was. They actually served the entire economy cabin before bringing anyone up-front our food! And there wasn...
Jump to postDJ/XJ can order all the planes it wants, but it's still a trash airline. I tried their "business class" for the first time last week, and while the seat was more comfortable than I expected, their service is absolutely deplorable.

Does this mean the A350 is better in your opinion, or the others are?
