Well, this is some news that I completely missed and it’s actually very saddening to see. The A340 is one of my favourite looking aircraft, and it’s one I sadly haven’t flown on much at all. Virgin Atlantic has been operating the A340 for several years, and they operated two variants, the -300 and the […]
Solomon Airlines is a small carrier that is based out of Honiara in the Solomon Islands. The airline itself is relatively small with their network mostly domestic but also reaching other small neighbouring countries as well as regular services to Australia and New Zealand. Solomon has a small fleet with an existing Airbus A320 as […]
While many airlines around the world are canceling flights and removing services due to lower demand, one of the smaller airlines in the pacific will be doing the complete opposite. Air Vanuatu has announced that they will be increasing frequencies to two Australia destinations, Brisbane & Melbourne. Air Vanuatu is a very interesting airline to […]
A few weeks ago, I was supposed to be headed to Brazil; however I fell ill while in Dubai, and it ultimately meant that going wouldn’t be the best idea as being sick then receiving a yellow fever vaccine is never a good idea. If I had, it could have potentially made we worse off […]
In May of this year, Nadi based carrier Fiji Airways placed an order for two aircraft that would help modernise their fleet and be able to carry for passengers with a much more economical and environmentally friendly aircraft. The airline ordered 2 Airbus A350-900’s and they have recently taken delivery of this aircraft, two days […]
Good afternoon from warm and sunny Dubai. As you may know, I’m over here for the air show and while yesterday was a quiet day in regard to orders or big announcements, today has been a little bit more exciting. Yesterday the only real news was Biman ordering some aircraft but that’s not really an […]
Continuing on with my reviews from my last Europe trip and this review is of Lufthansa’s A319 business class product on the short hop from Amsterdam to Munich. I’ve flown euro business once before, so I knew there’s absolutely nothing special at all – if anything it’s a joke considering how much more the airline […]
As the peak travel period is starting to creep closer, more and more airlines are switching up their aircraft to help meet the extra demand and this often fantastic news for passengers. I’ve already posted about a couple of airlines and now I’ve got another one to add to that list, Asiana. Asiana is a […]
The A350 has to be hands down my favourite looking aircraft right now, especially the -1000 variant. Here In Australia, quite a few carriers actually operate the A350 on services but at this point in time, they’re all -900’s. Qatar is one of those airlines and they use the aircraft on the Adelaide service. The […]
If you’ve ever travelled in Australia during our Summer months, you’ll know that it can be an extremely busy time. Luckily for passengers, airlines will often switch to using a larger aircraft during these peak months as it’s an easy way to fill more seats without having to add another service. Many of the Asian […]
During the peak summer travel months, it’s not uncommon to see major carriers into Sydney upgrade the aircraft they have to help meet the higher passenger numbers. Korean Airlines and China Southern are two that do this and both use the A380 for the services at the end of the year, they also make First […]
After arriving into Noumea on my flight to Sydney, I cleared immigration and exited the airport. I had a layover of about 7 hours so spent that time at the Le Meridien. My next leg was from Noumea to Tokyo onboard Aircalin’s brand new A330neo in Business Class. After leaving the hotel, I made my […]
