Not sure why the planned ICN flights would matter to the US network. Far cheaper and quicker to go between Seoul-USA direct over the pacific using Korean Air / Delta. Because the OZ slots that Virgin would allegedly get at LHR mean that the aircraft they use for the flight would have to sit overnig...
Jump to postAny idea what VS is going to do with the slot pair they're currently using for Pakistan flights ? I see VS flights to Pakistan leave at 10:20pm and arrive back at 6:00pm into Heathrow (LHE 4x/week and ISB 3x/week). These times don't work for TATL, unless they do some creative shuffling with their c...
Jump to postIt would be after the merger. So the new combined KE/OZ will cut a flight and give the slots to VS to operate the route. I believe KE and OZ both fly to LHR 1x daily so after this remedy KE/OZ will continue to fly to LHR 1x daily in competition against a daily VS flight. The problem with the OZ slo...
Jump to postKey to this: "Korean Air will provide Virgin Atlantic with slots at London Heathrow and Seoul Incheon to operate up to seven flights per week" Korean have been sitting on spare LHR slots? They've never been more than daily in all the time I have been living in London? Does this include th...
Jump to postI do wonder about how viable all of this is, and whether it is just to make it look like the CMA is doing something. 1. What slots will be available at LHR? If it is the OZ ones it will mean VS will need to overnight an aircraft in ICN which is a hugely inefficient use of an aircraft. 2. I assume if...
Jump to postDoes anyone know if there are any plans to re-time the Haneda flights? It is being boosted to double daily (on some days) but both flights are morning / early afternoon departures in both directions. With the longer flight times due to avoiding Russian airspace, wouldn’t an evening departure from LH...

If a flight from Europe is disembarked by bus at IST instead of a jetbridge, are the passengers still exempt from security or not?

Jump to postThis is unacceptable if you want to be the best hub and transfer point in the world. This is a brand-new facility, and all similar bottlenecks should have been considered. 5 km taxi by an aircraft before taking off or after landing is unacceptable, what an unnecessary fuel cost, extra carbon emissi...
Jump to postTK will be redesigning some of its IST hub waves in 2023. The most obvious change will be shift in some Far East flights into a consolidated 4pm departure bank from IST arriving at their destinations early in the AM, with a quick turnaround and return to IST in the afternoon. This bank will be in a...
Jump to post787 and non-Turkoflot J seats are more stylish and private but a lot less spacious, especially on the leg area. As for the investment needed to upgrade, I would say TK doesn’t have much of a choice if they want to stay competitive for the transit passenger market. That said , I hope they choose a d...

Jump to postExtension tubes are a good option. I use Kenko ones and they work well. What you may find though is it makes the depth of field extremely shallow, so depending on the type of photo you want to take you may end up having to focus stack to get the whole photo sharp.
