What was your latest flight, what was it like, and when is the next flight coming up for you?
-
Latest flight, Athens to NZ. 6 hours late. Missed my domestic flight. Had my alcohol stolen and travel insurance is being a cock.
Oh and it was Singapore to Brisbane, diverted to Sydney due to fog, then flew back up to Brisbane before flying people back to Auckland. Yes, they diverted to an airport closer to NZ, then flew back to the further airport without letting any passengers off.
Emirates...
-
Athens to NZ? :? OA quite going to Australia in the 90's....... :? :D
-
Well there were stopovers as we were flying 777-200s Athens/Dubai/Singapore and Brisbane before finally to Auckland but all with Emirates and all increasingly late.
-
Emirates :shock: Its so posh... not like United...
-
Oasis Hong Kong on Hong Kong - London Gatwick. Excellent flight, flight attendants friendly and cheerful. Right on time on departure and arrival. They went to the effort of new carpeting, seat covers, and overhead bins to give the aircraft the fresh look (ex-SQ 744s). Only complaint is the air being unusually dry.
-
SEA-ORD on AS 738. Same as always.... Too long a flight, Window seat sucked donkey balls......
Next one, not sure. My work schedule for next year isn't out yet.

-
i was on a school field trip when the United flight MSP-ORD for the M-Z half of the alphabet was delayed 6 hours (lucky me, im in the A-L half :D ). My friend managed to run outside security to try and find a McDonalds, walked all the way down to the other end of the security building, discover that there was no McDonalds, walk back, go back through security, find a McDonalds and eat there, and he made it back to his gate in time for the flight :P

-
1. original... IND-DTW-NRT-HKG with NW... got stranded in IND, then IND-JFK with DL, and JFK-YVR-HKG with CX. All economy. Did you know CX has Haagan Danz (spelling?) icecream bar on request for free? :D
2. HKG-DOH-TUN with QR. Posh plane for HKG-DOH. *vegetable*ty one for DOH-TUN. Lack of air-conditioning even after complaint to cabin crew.
3. TUN-DOH-HKG... worst flight ever... see http://stephenm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=35621#35621
coming up next,
HKG-EWR-IND with CO, economy. At least I would get a PTV :wink:
-
does anyone know what metal they fly on SFO-KON?
-
777-200LR? IDK :?
-
777 on a Hawaiiflight! :? (UA) :? :shock: COOL! PTV's X)
-
On SFO to HLN with UA is a 767-300
-
767's and 757's :D
-
On SFO to HLN with UA is a 767-300
This is to Kona-Keahole
-
yes, it is :roll:
anyway, you got the IATA code wrong -- its KOA. :P
-
:roll: w/e
-
Mine was DAL-OKC-DEN on December 20 & DEN-AMA-DAL on December 25! All on Southwest, the best airline ever (With UA holding a close 2nd).
-
Last flight was MUC-ARN on LH.
Last flight of note was the previous flight, DEN-MUC. Volunteered to be VDB'd, and I got upgraded to C instead. Senator Lounge in MUC was pretty nice, too.
Next flight is ARN-EWR in a few days. Hoping to get VDB'd since bulkhead bassinets are all booked up (and the flight is full).
-
Last flight...in my sig....Fort Wayne, Indiana to Taipei, Taiwan and return. Explained in detail here... :shock:
http://www.stephenm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3968&start=15
Next flight. Unless something happens to either my grandparents or great grandparents in Florida before then my next flights could be.
FWA-SXM-FWA...want to go there for 3 or 4 days...maybe even a week.
Or possibly back to Taiwan for another 2-3 week visit...This time possibly starting at IND instead.
Either way it will probably be a good year or more off so not in any hurry to plan details or decide. See how things go :wink: Would be nice if EVA got their 777-200LR and opened up nonstop service to say...ORD 8) Would save me a LOT of hassle and possibly some money if they would :roll:
-
JAL SFO-HKG transiting through NRT.
NRT-HKG leg was blissful, since I checked in like 12 hours early when I checked in for the SFO-NRT leg...they stuck me up on economy upper deck 744 :D :D :D
It's real quiet up there
-
My last flight was DUB-SXL on REA (Aer Arann) and my next one is probably DUB-SXL tomorrow depending on whether or not I take the train instead...
-
Last flight:
late November 2007 EDDV-LOWW (Hanover-Vienna and back next day) with Air Berlin. As always nice flight and nice service
Next one:
probably the same route in late January 2008
Best flight:
Dont know. There were several ones like:
1995 Delta B727 KATL-KMLU (seat in the last row closest to the engines)
1996 Sabena RJ85 EDDH-EBBR
1996 Continental Prop KIAH-KMLU (possibly an ATR72 on that route but not sure; if someone could help me to find out what a/c Continental used that time on the route Houston,TX - Alexandria, LA - Monroe, LA?)
1998 German Air Force B707 LIEE-ETNS
2000 German Air Force C-160 LPOV-EDDK (jump seat :D )
Worst (civil) flights:
1996 Sabena DC-10 KEWR-EBBR (although I had a good service onboard the seat spacing was horrible for such a long flight)
2007 TUIfly B737 EDDV-EDDS (a 40 minute ride -> too short to enjoy; snack and soft drink prices almost like mine in AM :lol: )
I love to fly with the older classic planes. All the newer birds look almost the same to me. From the inside I would not be able to find out if I was flying in a 737 or a 320.

JAL SFO-HKG transiting through NRT.
NRT-HKG leg was blissful, since I checked in like 12 hours early when I checked in for the SFO-NRT leg...they stuck me up on economy upper deck 744 :D :D :D
It's real quiet up there
hmm, on all the 744's ive been on the top deck is the super ultra mega business class :)
-
My last flight was LHR-MXP(Milan) onboard of BA. The flight was cozzy nothing to complain except for LHR Security. I almost missed my flight i got to the gate 15 min after EDT.
@DKTC CX gives HAgen Dasz ? Really? Nvr knew that. One thing for sure is that KLM gives u free hagen dasz ice cream even with out request. Although service at CX is the best.
-
I've been on a United 747-400 in First class, from Melburne to Sydney :D
-
Last was just CRP-DFW-CRP on AA...
One before was nice, CRP(AA)DFW(DL)JFK(SQ)FRA(SQ)JFK(DL)DFW(AA)CRP. Could've done AA out of DFW, or LH out of IAH but no way I was passing on a chance to fly SQ. They're hands down the best across the Atlantic.
CX is very good. SQ is better. I know the megatops will go someday and I'm very very much going to miss them. No other in-air experience matches Seat 2A or 2K... I've never been big on the 'Kirk' seat, I prefer to look out the window!
-
My last flight was DFW-JAX on AA in F.
Wonderful experience...nothing beats the convenience of direct flights to pretty much anywhere! :D
...and, IMHO, AA has the best domestic F class by far. I would say UA is a close second. :wink:
-
Glasgow Airport (UK) to Faro Airport (PT)
Futura 737-800 EI-DKD
-
Got one job notice today.....
ORD-MSP NW DC-9-30-40-50(what else)
MSP-ORD NW A-319(Hey, who stole my DC-9?)
It will be my first NW mainline flight in almost two years.....
They were a dollar cheaper than United......
-
A hole dollar. Wow what a deal you got :lol:
