    Aeroscopia (Airbus) Museum Toulouse

    There were numerous other aircraft on show, mostly connected with the French aerospace companies. Outside was another Concorde looking magnificent in its Air France livery. Unfortunately it was closed….. ….as was the Caravelle with its unusual shaped windows And an A 400 M which I...

    Aeroscopia (Airbus) Museum Toulouse

    There are two Concordes on display, the inside one was the first prototype. You could go inside but I didn’t take any photos there, it was full of measuring equipment.

    Aeroscopia (Airbus) Museum Toulouse

    There is an A300 displayed too, and the interior floor is partly cut away so you can see the cargo hold below with a freight container in situ. ….although the reflection made this difficult to see in the photo. Further back they have recreated a Premium cabin with very beige 80’s style...

    Japan Tourism for independent travellers

    Transited through Haneda last week and transit passengers were all deplaned first, corralled together, and escorted through arrivals security before the the locals were let off the plane. I think there is not much desire to let the leprotic Gaijin mingle.

    Need advice on flights redeemed for low silver status member due to changes in timing by BA

    At the moment BA are not flying to HND, and the JAL flight is taking longer because it is flying eastward over Alaska and Greenland to avoid Russian air space. As a result the HND -LHR flight leaves 2 hours earlier so that it’s maintains the same arrival time in LHR. This new route may explain...
