Southwest’s newer 737-800 is actually Seats and legroom are an improvement over the previous iterations.
As the only published author in a well-known motorcycle publication in the room...
A very small French airline called La Compagnie. They fly New York (newark) to Paris. They used to fly to London (Luton) as well but cancelled that route.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 8:38 amThat's nice. Where's it from?09vdubgti wrote:This one might stump some of you.
Anyone know the airline?
Another one from my collection of random things/kits.
They fly a Boeing 757, all business class seats.

Bvlgari everything inside, from lotions to a really nice sized cologne bottle.
They stocked this up full. Threw in deodorant shave gel hair comb an actual real toothbrush.

I just like watching them take off and stuff.
In continuation of the 747 love, here is Lufthansa's 747-8. I get great spotting views in newark.

I just flew home on a 340-600 on Saturday. VERY nice plane. I've flown 340s before, but not the 600. It had something I'd never seen before. All the bathrooms (for coach anyway) were down a flight of stairs, so there were no bathrooms on the passenger deck.

I grew up on O'Hare flight paths. It was a yuuge deal when the then-new 747's flew overhead. It was to see such a big plane fly by.09vdubgti wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2017 1:28 pmI rarely fly.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 7:07 pm Man, you guys are all jetsetting dickswingers.

If we're talking private jets, I do have a soft spot for the Gulfstream G650. So sleek, refined and elegant, like an athlete in the air I did a little spell around Europe recently, and wandered close to some airports known for private jets... been quite fascinated by them I must say! I spotted the info on this site about which airports were most popular for charter flights, so managed to see quite a few nice jets Paris Le Bourget and
London Luton were my fav airports.

2018 will be about the same but maybe another 20k miles.
Speaking of Icelandair, their mechanics in Iceland went on strike for a few days. Canceling their ops during that time.
They are losing customers quickly now that Wow has expanded their US operations.
Was reading Wow is now the largest (by passenger count) Icelandic airline.
