    Final B747 to roll off the line on Tuesday

    ….and perhaps highlights Boeings reticence to develop new models, preferring to adapt existing airframes. Look at the 737 for example, first manufactured in 1967…and even then retaining the fuselage of the now 65 year old 707.

    Travelling experiences with armed soldiers and guards

    Etihad tried to downgrade us

    Certainly happened to me. I was able to select a window seat ( 1-2-1 config ) and was reallocated a centre seat a few months later. I had heard that JAL policy didnt allow window selection on award seats so was surprised when it initially allowed me to do so on booking

    Etihad tried to downgrade us

    I assume you meant EY (Etihad). Some airlines don’t allow advance choices for certain seats on award flights. It happened to me on JAL. Made the choice but was kicked out to another later.

    Apple Airtags

    On a recent flight with QR, as I was boarding at LHR, the AirTag was reporting itself as being at a residential street in Hounslow. Fortunately the kind residents must have delivered it to the airline as it arrived with me in Doha .😄

    What was your first flight?

    Apparently my first flight was on a BOAC Britannia. London to Tripoli, Libya. I was 6 weeks old and my mother had returned to England to have me…. not trusting the local medical services !
