Good question, given there is a fairly high chance that B Johnson will be the next PM, will we see the stupid idea for an island in the North Sea get resurrected? Boris has stated, if I am right that he will not go back over Heathrow plans due to it having the majority in the commons. I think it wa...
Jump to postIs STN easily accessible from London city? It isn't the best, but it is doable. Not particularly less convenient than LHR or LGW (which isn't saying much). The issue with STN is you are 100% reliant on O&D traffic. No one is going to schlep from STN to LHR or LGW for a connection. True that, ho...
Jump to postFrom 1 December 2019, British Airways London Heathrow - Bahrain will be extended to Dammam on B777-200: https://twitter.com/SeanM1997/status/1107944543574523904 Interesting, I would have thought it would make more sense to fly Dammam first then add Bahrain as the tag along instead due to Geographic...
Jump to postDo when LTN? ;) Surely, LTN does get one jet-way and EK will likely be enticed to come. Has EK smallest aircraft any issues taking-off from LTN runway? El Al have managed to get 777s into the airport, however I'm not sure if they manage that due to the shorter distance to Tel Aviv requiring less fu...
Jump to postLooking at FlightRadar24 planes are still landing and taking off however all news sources are claiming the Runway is closed.
Jump to postEK9 and QR331 both seem to be heading into the Heathrow holding pattern so I imagine that's where they are diverting to.

I probably can't quite give a good view as my experience with Emirates A380s tends to be out of LHR which is more of a city bus operation. Both British Airways and Emirates have multiple flights a day out of here and the public tend to prefer one or the other, however it should be noted that the mor...
Jump to post[ They could but this would require a new subfleet with an extremely premium configuration. Creating subfleets only makes economic sense of you can use the aircraft on several routes. Just because Qantas can make AUSTRALIA-UK nonstop work, it doesn't mean BA will be able to as well. That's not real...
Jump to postAll of Emirates' London flights have 1st class, although there's too many of them to remember numbers.
EK1/2, EK3/4, EK5/6, EK7/8, EK29/30, EK31/32 off the top of my head but I'm sure I've forgotten some, including all of the LGW ones.
I have two strong attachments. Being from London British Airways is certainly one, I remember flying on their 747-400s back in 2005 on the LHR to MAA route and it would always be nice to show off that you were flying on British Airways which is a well respected airline among locals at MAA. Another a...
Jump to postThe inaugural EK23 from DXB operated by A6-EGC just landed at EDI at 2:37pm local time. I hope someone with video or pictures of the arrival will be able to post them here later. The return flight EK24 is scheduled to leave at 8:15pm and I wonder why the aircraft has to spend nearly six hours on ta...

I'm surprised DOH isn't on the list of potential routes, I wouldn't be surprised to see Qatar try to give Emirates a run for their money with the traffic to Asia and Australia. Not too sure how they plan to get any of the Indian destinations workings, most of the Indian population in the UK lives fa...
Jump to post...the A380 replacing some select 747 routes they've shown that they're happy to downsize. The 744 was the best option at the time but it was probably too big for a lot of routes that they flew/fly I'm still curious about LHR-JFK, since its slot-restricted at both ends, and there's seemingly infini...
Jump to postDoesn't the 747-8 need similar facilities gate-wise to the A380 which would have meant Terminal 7 wouldn't have been able to take the aircraft anyway?
Jump to postFlightradar is showing Emirates Flight EK355 as operating Hyderabad to Dubai with an A380. Does anyone know what caused this.
Has HYD ever had to deal with an A380 before?
It's now reported that GA might not be terminating LHR as a destination at all, instead moving the route to a one stop via AMS. However this same article indicates (albeit in italics at its head) that this could actually be using a codeshare partner, probably KL: https://www.businesstraveller.com/b...
Jump to postThey do, a quick bit of research will show you they fly BKK to FRA & CDG year round and seasonally in winter to LHR. DXB - no, not with EK having so many multiple A380 flights into BKK. If you just know how their A359 is full you will question why they are not sending their A380 to DXB, I alway...
Jump to postThe amount of premium seats in an A380 depends on how you lay it out -it ain't fixed!Todays BA A380's are layed out one way but that goes not prevent them having a 'high j' version just as they did with the 747. The gate 'problem' at NY is an issue though -perhaps. But there is a fact that should p...
Jump to postNot surprised at all by this. I've used it once and I'm never using it again, from check in to baggage reclaim everything there is a pain to get through. Not to mention actually getting to the airport.
Jump to postWhat are the costs of LHR as compared to another London area airport like say LGW? Ofcourse slots are more expensive, but what about trip costs? If you are talking about from someone who lives in London then 9 times out of 10 Heathrow will be cheaper to get to. It's located within the M25 boundary ...
