On the way over I'd definitely stay in central London. I'd look at somewhere around London Bridge. Taking the Elizabeth line & then a short tube connection it'll take about an hour from Heathrow. This puts you in the centre of the city, can have a walk to Tower Bridge, have a look through...

Does anyone know what time Qantas check-in opens at LHR? I'm flying QF2 and will likely arrive at the airport around 2ish. Will need to have a checked bag and would rather spend the time waiting in a lounge. Qantas says on their website "Airport check-in opens 4 hours before the first Qantas...

I see that Etihad is now allowed to have their pilots fly both the A380 and A350 concurrently. Is this reasonable? Are the systems similar enough that they can do this with no issues, or is this a case of the company wanting increased flexibility and possibly compromising on safety/pilot...

I did the LHR-PER-SYD routing about 3 months back. Very smooth transfer. One benefit is that you clear immigration in Perth so arrive in Syd and can walk straight out. Passport control was quick, then go and pick up bags, walk outside and they had a people directing you to a dedicated counter to...

Other beauty of LCY is that its so small you can easily arrive 30 mins before departure and still comfortably make your flight (Checkin/bag drop closes 20 mins prior). This is partially why there are no lounges as its expected people just turn up and go.

Ryanair have been hammering these emails for months. I haven't seen anything similar from Easyjet/Wizz etc. Not sure what they are hoping to achieve/influence.

With Qantas currently operating a return flight from London to Tel Aviv (ASY1168) would this be operated by pilots who were on a London trip and then were just told we are extending your trip and you are now flying to Tel Aviv tomorrow? With the heightened risk there at the moment would the...

I'm flying J with Qatar into Doha, and then onwards to LHR in Y. For the Doha transit will I have lounge access based on the inbound business flight?

I'm flying J with Sri Lankan airlines out of Sydney. Does anyone have any idea which lounges i'll have access to (and which might be the best option?) Cheers

How much leeway do you have time wise? If they do need to carry a 2nd first officer will they need to be trained to sit in both seats?

This was a 737-800

I was on a flight into London Stansted last night and about 8 minutes before landing the captain came on the PA and said something along the lines of "This is your captain, please leave your phones on flight mode, it is interfering with our radios". Then again once we had arrived at the gate he...

Would there be any reason they are doing them in the aircraft as opposed to the sim?

When you say block hours what exactly is that? Is that hours per pilot or hours per plane or something else?

Spectacularly good if you were a shareholder which sold.

I flew through Gatwick aiport in late 2019 after Thomas Cook had collapsed. I don't have any pics but Gatwick's snow ploughs had all been moved to block Thomas Cook's aircraft in. Disregarding the legalities of this, Perth airport aren't alone in doing it although I don't know how British &...

The UK government added the below message to their foreign travel advice website the other day: There’s a heightened risk of terrorism against aviation. Additional security measures are in place for flights departing from Egypt to the UK. You should co-operate fully with security officials at...

I thought that captains/first offices were only trained to sit in the left/right seats and second officers switched between the two? I'm assuming in situations like this its ok for one of the captains to sit in the "wrong" seat during cruise?

Just did Foxtrot Tracker. It took about 9minutes for 150 points. It was about WA tourism.

Google flights is pretty good at things like this. Shows all the destinations on a map and can filter as needed. Majority of destinations from Stansted is Ryanair though. Flights
