Almost poetic !

I see old de Crespigny has released a new book. You going to grace our book shelves soon JB747 ? :p

Jinx... posted at the same time :P

Hi jb747.. Just listening to the air traffic control transcripts of several pilots seeing bright flying lights near the UK this morning. Listen As Multiple Airline Pilots Report Very High-Speed Unidentified Objects Over Ireland Just wondering beyond the normal phenomena that pilots see at...

Imagine 18 hours with this error on your screen

Sighhh.... Seems American also re-scheduled a heap of my flights making me leave a destination before I arrive. Qantas Platinum line were very helpful but the segments are married so they have to send it to AA to fix

So I've booked my 140k rtw award flights a couple of months ago, but my first flight ADL-KUL has been retimed by MAS which leaves me with 10 mins to connect to my KUL-BKK flight (on the same booking ref). Question is do I call Qantas or Malaysian to fix it ?

All of them pretty much live off referrals to credit card offers anyways.

Begs the question, before the days of computer simulations how did aircraft simulators "simulate" aircraft handling ?

I found when I was seeing the taxes on the Qantas site I would expand out the taxes box and try to work out what was causing the most. I actually think the AY flights have a higher tax then what the Wiki said. Plus you have to add in so many different airport taxes and charges.. often seeing...

I actually did a variation on it last year post QF changes, still the best earn outside of AU. I also missed a flight due to delay but got route credit from QF anyways.

I’ve done that run it hurts

Yeah I worked out with that the major costs were in the IB and AY flights. I rerouted with MH to BKK firstly and took Cathay to Europe. I couldn't avoid IB to miami without swapping it for a BA flight (which had the similar taxes).. The site tried to send me home via HKG which is such a long...

Interestingly when I change the start part to SYD it goes through. Taxes of $1100 though .. Haha I've even avoided using QF and BA

hmm I did notice that JQ would cause points to jump outside of the range Y ticket of 140k. I assume I have to finish in the same city I started in? I'd like to finish in Syd or Bris but I can just miss the last leg My routing is : ADL-PER-HKG QF599/CX170 18/9 BKK-HEL AY142 1/10 HEL-MUC AY1401...

Did anyone say how terrible the Qantas Booking Engine is? When you complete a route but then it errors at the end ? Also there seems to be a bug when I can't search for availability flying AA POS-MIA. In that the multi-trip search box will let me search London to POS but not POS in the next...

Google the link and the site will serve a non-paywall version. Typical Newslimited fluff piece about pilotless automation and drones. Nothing to see here move along.

Interesting article. What scares me is that what control pilots didn't have in stopping the second dive. How are the automations different in say 777 compared to the Airbus. I assume Boeings method of control is that it can always override the automatic systems ?

I was reading about ETOPS certs and I was wondering what Qantas 789 would fall under having to operate PER-LHR ?

Via the UAE or Doha seems be the most direct routing I've found. I have flown Etihad and Qatar and found Qatar has the better service. Everything else requires 2 stops, BA + FY etc.
