Congradulations indeed to Trinadad on their new modern airport...From what I saw a few weeks ago the airport looks very user friendly...I'm sure a lot of passengers will miss walking up and down to their flight..
Jump to postThere is an article in todays N.Y. Times 5/21/01 on Terminal 4....They have a few good photos of the interior...
Jump to postWithout a ticket photo opp's aren't going to be plentiful..However, outside on the departure level you may be able to get some shots...I went at night and really couldn't tell...
Jump to postI last had the pleasure of flying an L-1011 last August from ATL-Fll on DL of course...The flight was very comfortable..I remember the take was steep and the engines running very quiet once we were cruising...The landing in FLL was one of the best b/c the plane kept making sharp turns to get lined u...
Jump to postI would go with National Airlines...Their 757's are very comfortable b/c they have a little more legroom..Also they use the "D" gates in Las Vegas and you should be able to get a good deal on the airfare..
Jump to postOver the weekend I decided to drive out to JFK and check the progress of Terminal 4 and was surprised to find it open to the public and operating..The exterior and interior are lit very brightly..The ticket counters are arranged in "row" similiar to Terminal ONE. After ticketing, passengers proceed ...
Jump to postI was reading the lastest issue of Airliners and saw a photo of a Horizon CRJ700...I was very impressed with the size of this RJ...Compared to the original it seems higher off the ground and you won't need a neck brace after the flight due to the windows...Am I correct in recalling American Eagle pl...
Jump to postGive Terminal 4 a chance....At least wait until it is completely done before you rip it apart...I'm sure there won't be too many complaints once it's fully operating in a few weeks...Besides anything will be an improvement over the original....I can't wait for the AA terminal to open....From the loo...
Jump to postI recently flew NW LGA-MSP-MCI-MSP-LGA and all the flights were very enjoyable....From LGA-MSP I was on a new A-319. You could tell the plane was brand new by the lack of streaks on the flaps and the smell.. The other flights were on DC-9's and they were in pretty good shape as well. MSP is a pretty...
Jump to postI think BWI, LAS (D gates), and AUS are all really nice airports/terminals. Hopefully once the construction is done at BWI it will be even better.
Jump to postI think the airport looks great.....POS will be one of only a few airports in the West Indies with jetways....When is the new terminal scheduled to open for passengers?
Jump to postEveryone is talking about all the delays at LGA due to the traffic and two short runways. However, how is it that DCA has one "real" runway and about the same amount of traffic but you never hear about their delays being so bad? Can anyone out there explain?
Jump to postI really love AUS. I was there last month and it was one of the nicest airports I've visited. The car rental facility is very convienent. I also visited SAT that same weekend and it was ok. The terminal with UA, NW, SW, and DL was pretty nice but nothing compared to AUS. US needs to start service in...
Jump to postOn Saturday Jan. 13th, 01 I had the pleasure of flying CO's new 762. Here's the report: CO Flt# 63 767-200 aircraft #152::: We left EWR from gate C75. I could tell it was a new aircraft from the smell (or should I say lack of smell). The interior is the same as the 777 with the new overhead bins and...
Jump to postGood going HPA318....United introduced it but American perfected it.....I like both airlines but AA is number #1 for me.....
Jump to postI can remember arriving DCA from STL on a TW MD-80
and as soon as we hit the wet runway the plane
slowed so quickly the seatbelt fet like it was
keeping me from falling out of my seat. Good feeling though!!!!!
I'm going to have the pleasure of flying the CO 762 in January between EWR & IAH....I can't wait to see what that 777 interior looks and feels like on a 767...Those are my two favorite planes....
Jump to postGood trip report...I love hearing trip reports from the West Indies....I like the take off from Kingston b/c of the great view of the airport while the plane is making a right turn....I did it a few yrs ago on an AA A300 (KIN-JFK)..It's strange how they built the airport on a penisula in the middle ...
Jump to postGood trip report....I'll be flying to London for the first time in Febuary...They have a program here in the US called "Airport". It shows the daily routine at LHR....It's going to be pretty interesting visting such a busy airport...JFK is my home airport and doesn't seem so busy...I see the BW 738 ...
Jump to postI would have to agree that NYC and Washington DC are both breathtaking at night. Arriving into JFK from the west is really nice b/c you fly over Manhattan and Brooklyn first....After, you fly over the airport turn back over the bay and get a nice view of Queens right before touchdown. LGA is a littl...
Jump to postOnce on a red eye between LAS-STL (TWA MD-80) I was most likely the only one looking out the window and I saw a shooting star. That was the nicest thing I've seen from the air....
Jump to postI travel fairly often ( once a month on average) and have noticed that I'm the only person on board with their head plastered to the window for most of the flight. It seems flying has become a bore to many people these days. Some might say due to the delays, lack of seat space, etc but I go through ...
Jump to postI have been on AA's 777 (ORD-DFW), UA (IAD-ORD, LAX-IAD, SEA-ORD), and DL (ATL-MCO) and I must say they are my favorite aircraft...It always amazes me how powerful the engines are on take off and how quiet they are during cruise..Those engines get the plane off the runway in no time...FYI of the thr...
Jump to postI have flown on the 777 on UA (IAD-ORD, LAX-IAD, SEA-ORD), DL (ATL-MCO), and AA (ORD-DFW)....Take off is the best part of the flt...Those engines are both powerful and quiet (at cruising alt)...The IFE keeps you busy....FYI of the three AA is the best...I was in AA789N w/ the More legroom in coach a...
Jump to postI would have to say the AA 777....That bird is as
good as it can get....
Can anyone give me an update on how many 777 AA currently has and how many are planned to be in svc by the end of the year? Thanx in advance!!
Jump to postOn Saturday June 10th, 2000 I had the pleasure of flying on my first AA 777. I was on flt #2347 leaving ORD at 5:30pm. When I arrived at gate L8 I noticed the aircraft looked extra shiny. I asked a pilot who was jumpseating back to DFW and he told me that this particulary aircraft (AA789N) was AA's...
Jump to postI'm not a boug fan of airbus planes but the 332 is really a good looking plane. The 340 and 333 are too long for me. I wish USairways chose the 332 instead of the 333.
Jump to postI just read BA is selling some of their 767's. Would it make sense for TWA to buy a few to replace the 767's they sold last year?
Jump to postI was in Detriot metro 2 yrs ago and I must agree it was the worst airport I've seen in the US....It's too congested and old looking...Some of the NW concourses made me feel like I passed through a time machine and was back in the 70's...The new NW terminal should improve things a lot..
Jump to postI've lived in both areas and noticed similarites between the airports. IAD and JFK are the int'l airports, LGA and DCA are for parking MD-80's and 737's, and BWI and EWR are a combo of both...But in terms of convience, aircraft and facilities which of the two area airports is better in everyone's op...
Jump to postThe livery wouldn't look too bad if there was a blue and/or red line under the windows. But the way it looks now is a very plain. That all white fuselage looks so "follow the leader." The livery before this one was the best. Thank goodness for US AIRWAYS and TWA. Those two are the pride of the U.S. ...
Jump to postIt's a simple question and here it goes....On the DL 738's do the TV moniters drop down from above the seats or are they down the center above the aisle? I think AA 738's are down the middle of the aisle like the 757's? Thanx in advance
Jump to postLast month I flew UA from BWI to SEA and back. United is one of my favorite airlines and I fly them whenever I can. All four of my flts were on widebody aircraft. That's the main reason I like UA..Plenty of large A/C 2/19..BWI-ORD UA DC-10-30....I was looking forward to this flt b/c as we all know t...
Jump to postI lived in the DC area for three yrs and have grown to love the new DCA terminal...If anyone ever traveled through the old terminal you would really appreciate the new terminal..The new terminal is 150% better..I feel proud when I pick someone up from the airport and here them say "This is one of th...
Jump to postThanks for the info..I've never been on a DC-10-30...Only AA DC-10-10's and once on a UA DC-10-10 w/ the old colors back in Feb 98....Do you know if UA 942 from SEA-ORD on the 22nd of Feb is a 777 w/ PTV's?
Jump to postI love the DC-10 and I'm not looking forward to them leaving the AA and UA fleets. Next week I'll be flying a UA DC-10 from BWI - ORD. I have a window right behind the wing so I can see those flaps lower for take off and landing.. I like the L-1011 but the DC-10 has a slight lead in my book..
Jump to postOn my birthday 8/98 I was flying on a US 757 from CLT to DCA...We were delayed 40 mins b/c of storms...When we finally took-off about 30 seconds out we went into the clouds and all h*ll broke loose...The plane was bouncing around like a pin ball machine for about 5 mins...The overhead bins and bath...
Jump to postI grew up near LGA and remember seeing Eastern and Delta 1011's, American, TWA, United and Air Canada 767's, and my favorites American and United DC-10's...Now thanks only to Delta all we get are 5 or 6 767's daily to/from ATL,CVG, and Florida..Anyone know the reason for this? I'm thinking the rece...
Jump to postI grew up not far from Lga and use to see the big birds all the time. Eastern 1011's & A-300's, TWA 767's and 1011's, United and American DC-10's and on and on..I even remember seeing a few AC 767's.. Now it's only Delta 767's about 5x a day...Thank Goodness for Delta..Does anyone have any info abo...
Jump to postI also have flown many MD-80's mainly AA and DL and I love to sit as far up as possible because on take off I love how extremely quiet it is on take off and climb...It's amazing how quiet it is right after take off. It's like going up in a Lexus LS400...
Jump to postThe 767 is my 2nd favorite aircraft.( after the 777 of course).. I flew from Lga to Tpa last weekend with a connection thru Atl and 3 of the 4 flts were on 767's..They are the perfect size...Not too big not too small..I love sitting behind the wing and hearing those engines kick in on take off...To ...
Jump to postHere's a question I'm hoping someone can answer for me. On the Sunday after Thanksgiving I was at Lga watching planes take off. I noticed two DL 763's on line for take off. One was headed to Atl and the other to Pbi. I assume they were both packed to capacity. The flt to Atl took off using most of ...
Jump to postI recently read that Delta was ordering up to 30 777's in addition to new 767-400's. Is it me or will Delta have a lot of 767-300's being converted to domestic schedules once the larger Boeings arrive? Let's hope...They already have more 767's on domestic flights than AA and UA combined...(excludin...
Jump to postI think it's about time 777's are going across the Pacific from the U.S .I think in a few yrs they will probably replace the DC-10's from Ord and Dfw with United and American. Also the Tri-stars from Atl with Delta....Anyone agree or disagree?
