Flying tomorrow on award flight with QR LHR- SYD in J. I have checked in on line but couldn’t print boarding my pass. But, I just received notification to check in for a Finnair award flight that I cancelled months ago when the QR flight opened up. Points and $ were refunded by QF for the...

Oh, and for those ex RAAF members, there was a Mirage 3

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...

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.

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...

With an involuntary change of plan I find myself in the NH airport hotel in Toulouse this afternoon with a few hours to burn. I can’t go on an Airbus factory tour as non EU citizens must book 2 days in advance, but the Airbus museum is at the airport so here’s a whirlwind visit. There is an...

Ferrari will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

As I understand it, there are no requirements for transiting HKG, but you must stay airside and have an onward boarding pass and checked through luggage. To go landside ( past immigration ) you have to quarantine, so not feasible for a layover...

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.

Thanks. I understand that atm you have to have onward boarding pass to transit through HKG hence my question…. though August is a long way off….but you never know. Where do you find the interlining information. I could find it anywhere?

I have a QF award booking (J) for August next year. MH SYD - KUL- HKG transferring to AF HKG- CDG- LHR. The booking is on one PNR. Do you think my bags will be checked through to LHR at SYD ?

LHR 12.30 T5 not fast track, 14 minutes security line.

With bags.

Arrived at T3 at 6.30 am Friday on JAL. Plane to kerbside in 30 mins. Departing T5 2pm Weds….hope it’s as smooth!

Reportedly a death on board

It now appears official… RIC is being replaced by Piastri for next year. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/mclaren-end-ricciardo-deal-piastri-2023/10349014/amp/

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...

I think Qatar only has first class on its A380, and they don’t use those to WAW
