I wasn’t aware the people here were so hostile... I guess rather than saying thanks, I’ll just say get a life?

So, I have a question for everyone. I was recently scheduled for a flight that was going to use a plane like a A319 or 737 or something, and then the day of the flight they switched us to a tiny little 717, and it got me thinking: With how small and light planes like the 717 or the MD 80 and...

Really Queenstown is good for summer jobs? I would have assumed that with it being such a ski-heavy town all the jobs would only be there during the winter

Yeah I need causal employment as ill be on a working holiday visa, so like cafes and stuff like that and mass transit is important because I really don't want to have to get a car when I'm down there. and i assume Queenstown has no real mass transit, or maybe like 1 bus that comes every 40...

ok so i have a bit of a weird question to ask you guys. So my VISA for Australia will be ending in October and I'm going to be going to NZ afterwards and Im wondering what cities you suggest moving to. Here is what I'm looking for 1.) Ill be on a working holiday visa, so somewhere with jobs...

oh seriously???? is it kind of a cough hole? I thought they were supposed to be super tropical and stuff! Ok well I guess my two would be between Fiji and Bali. From what I've been reading Fiji is a bit more expensive than Bali but its a lot cleaner and safer

hey guys so I'm from America. and am living here in Australia for a while and I'm planning on taking a trip around the area (to somewhere that Virgin Australia flies to) So my choices are Bali, Fiji, or the Solomon Islands. my question is where out of these destinations will the Australian...

anyways i found this on Wiki, i thought it was interesting "In October 2003, a Boeing 777-300ER broke the ETOPS record by being able to fly five and a half hours (330 minutes) with one engine shut down.[1] The aircraft, with GE90-115B engines, flew from Seattle to Taiwan as part of the ETOPS...

yeah I'm aware of that. Im saying "that somehow seemed to get lost in this thread"

Thanks JB for actually answering my question. That somehow seemed to get lost in this thread

ah sweet! thank you! I'm an idiot on airplane websites

so I've been looking on the Virgin site and can't seem to find this info. Ho many points would a domestic flight cost? or say how many points would u need to cover the difference between paying economy prices but getting upgraded to business? I know if you give numbers they won't be exact...

Yeah i know. They landed it really smoothly. and everyone was <in control> too which was pretty cool

thanks! yeah I'm actually a really good flyer. Its weird actually....I have really bad panic and anxiety, but i never have problems on planes. Im just wondering out of curiosity. Ive always been a big fan of air travel and planes and when I found this forum i was like... oh sweet! i can ask...

Here is the link ITS CRAZY! the plane just sinks! apparently someone died in it all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QguEfBMhpyc

Oh hey thats another question I have. Do planes float when they land in the water? I remember the picture of the US airways plane sit sitting in the river and people stood on the wings... but did u see the video of that plane in Hawaii where the guy filmed the whole crash wit ha go-pro? It...

yeah positive. Wiki doesn't show destinations of codeshares. Virgin Australia destinations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia But yeah I'm pretty sure its not happening now. It was on the destination list for the Sydney airport wiki page and the Seoul airport wiki page as well.... but now...

Yeah thats what I'm thinking. When i saw it on their wiki page i even checked the Seoul Airport wiki page and it says that Virgin will start flying there.... but i guess anyone can post to Wiki, so its possible someone just added it for ****s

So on the Virgin Australia wiki page it says that its adding new routes to Tokyo and Seoul in about 6 months. But when I try to Google it I find nothing. Is this true? and if so what planes will they be using? They can't fly a 737 to Tokyo can they?

Ok so what about flights from like Frankfurt to San Fran that fly over the arctic. Do they have staffed runways thru Northern Canada and Greenland just in case something happens in a remote area like that?
