ACTUALLY, her plane will be stopping in Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia on the 21st of February en route from Jamaica. Her first visit to French Polynesia (I'm surpised it isn't Rarotonga where she'll be stopping at).. The story is at: www.tahiti1.com/en/details/tht_details.asp?news_id=162
Jump to postJust looking at a Mexicana ad promoting Mexico in the latest edition of 'Conde Nast Traveler' and there is a pic at the bottom of what appears to be a large Mexicana aircraft in flight. It looks like a 777 to me. Do they have these? or Are they just 'doctoring' up a pic to make it look like they hav...
Jump to postThey also serviced Ft. Lauderdale from Miami as well (LAX-MIA-FLL). Also I believe they served Hilo also as Kona was not the major airport then. They were also used on SFO from LAX on the continuation of MEX-LAX-SFO and SFO-SLC originating in HNL (and vice versa). THe JFK flights in 1984 were LAX-SL...
Jump to postAeroflot DOES fly to SFO. Why don't you just fly BA SFO-LHR-Calcutta. It doesn't matter which way you go (perhaps due to amount of time in air), but what YOU want to get out of the journey. Personally I would rather fly via Europe and that is just MY opinion although it is probably a little fast via...
Jump to postWhat was it I read a few years ago in some fashion magazine about f/a uniforms throughout the ages, I think it was something like: Alitalia's Armani designed uniforms evoke a 'get your own damn pillow" attitude.
Jump to postAnybody watch this show? I've been watching it for a few weeks now and an thoroughly engrossed, although it is very freaky. Tonight had to be the scariest as the one guy had to go into that coffin in the woods and close the door, then the other girl was sent in to bury him, or `the guy who had to pu...
Jump to postOr do they have this a/c? What is their equivalent to the 777 that they use?
Jump to postHi guys. Since many of you have computers and probably do these sort of things, What is the best way to learn this? I know many graphics/drawing softwares (most Adobe and Macromedia softwares), but I'd like to start learning HOW to put together websites.. any ideas on which software is best? or any ...
Jump to postPersonally I don't agree with the phrase "it's not the a/c, it's the pitch". As earlier posters have said, there definately is a psychological effect to a wider and taller a/c. In all fairness, I think this really is a personal opinion and we all have personal opinions to what we find comfortable an...
Jump to postI was part of the early punk movement back in high school (1979-81) before it was fashionable. EARLY EARLY EARLY bands such as Siouxie & the Banshees, the Germs w/Darby Crash, FEAR, Public Image, Nine Nine Nine, Dead Kennedy's, on and on and on..I used to hang out in LA at the Whiskey a Go Go, the S...
Jump to postI finally joined the DVD revoluton about 6 weeks ago. I never really considered DVD before, I rent quite a lot of movies as well. One day I noticed some great independent films I wanted to see but weren't on VHS, so I asked around at work, different peoples opinions on DVD v. VHS, and was told DVD w...
Jump to postalso where's Chieftain? or the guy who always wrote those little trip reports: EK A340?
Jump to postit may sound like a lot of seats, but the big difference is that they only have a "business class" in the upper deck, and on the lower, what would be reserved for first and business, is all economy layout all the way up to the pointy area up front! Since their cabins are "separated", you really don'...
Jump to postI don't think I've been on a flight where the cabin was not totally quiet (ie. nobody talking) during take off (from roll down to lift off). Am I the only one who notices this? Everybody mostly just staring forward or out the window, but no talking! Why do you think this might be? A realization of h...
Jump to postGeez that'd be nice! With such sought after destinations as Scranton, Allentown, Barneysville and Pookaboo they're well on their way! Go Pan Am!! Seriously, I wish they'd let the name finally fade into immmortal airline history instead of keep digging it up from the grave. Let us remember what it on...
Jump to postBora Bora in French Polynesia is BOB. Would make a nice souvenir tag for someone with the same name.
Jump to postYou might also post this on flyertalk.com in the boards there. Lots and lots of "career frequent flyers" there. Not that you won't get a great answer here, just helping you to get more info for your question!
Jump to postWhy did SAS drop this service and when? What a/c did they fly there up to the end? I know one of their DC-8's crashed into the Pacific Ocean on approach in the late 60's (from copenhagen-seattle-lax), but did they ever fly their 747's to LAX (I remember seeing their DC10's there)? I know they flew t...
Jump to postI think it actually depends on WHO is making the coffee. Starbucks is a major chain and is really not the definitive voice of coffee. I've been to Seattle and find "Seattle's Best" much better. In SF, Peets or Pasqua (which was bought out by starbucks), or Caffee Trieste or Royal Ground is far super...

Jump to postThe news in San Francisco reported on the 6:00 news of a Delta Airlines 737, flight #1877 had a flameout of the #2 engine while taking off from runway 1R.
