After a bit of a delay (sorry - been very busy with work/family commitments), my latest video is out this morning, covering my fantastic first visit to the new @americanair.bsky.social PHL Flagship Lounge and my flight to LAX . youtu.be/2fsZC4eWB48

I love that, even in their righ-wing cartoon, drumph still looks fat and orange 🀣

I never find the noise on the old Airbus aircraft that big an issue - but then, I've usually got my NC headphones in - and it's only an hour or so in flight.

Not sure I've heard Gatwick called "pretty" before! Safe travels!

I think they forget and think they are there to keep their hands clean - not to keep your food clean!

Last month, I tried out the new Flagship Preferred Suite from @americanair.bsky.social on its inaugural flight from London to Philadelphia Watch my new video to find out what I thought of it! youtu.be/PIqmSB0-WrE

Two out of our three (these two are best buddies). Love the "teefs" in this pic.

Is Belfast City Airport REALLY the β€œBest Little Airport” in the World? I’ll let you know what I think in my new Trip Report video! #Easyjet youtu.be/RUoXoQnaDqQ

Good morning from seat 7F on todays BA1475 - operated by this 25 year old Airbus A319.

Morning Bluesky peeps. Today is a travel day, so I'm looking forward to being back in the air! Short hop down to Heathrow and then onwards with American Airlines onboard one of their new 787-9P aircraft (with new Flagship Suites) to Philly! Exciting!

Finally getting to fly these new suites from LHR to PHL on the 7th of August, and from LAX to ORD on the 9th. Looking forward to seeing how they live up to expectations.

Global Airlines: Headed for Storage or the Scrapheap?
Global Airlines: Headed for Storage or the Scrapheap? YouTube video by Glasgow Flyer

With the unexpected move of Global’s A380 to Tarbes Airport in France – best known for being an aircraft graveyard – it raises the question of β€œwhat’s next” for Global? Storage, maintenance, or the scrapheap?

If you click on the link it will work - seems to be an issue with embedding the video on Bluesky posts.

New trip report video out today – things didn’t quite go to plan due to delays on my BA flight to Dublin, and I learned a valuable lesson about the difference between BA and BA Holidays! youtu.be/J9f1zyzieC0 #avgeek #tripreport #britishairways

I've never understood how this became such an accepted part of US working culture. In the UK, as is the case for most of Europe, sick leave is completely separate from any holidays/annual leave, and is something you are legally entitled to. Using holidays for sickness is such a messed up notion!

Aw - here we were thinking it was the blinged-up, VIP gold golf cart you were getting to ride! You should absolutely be demanding a gold golf cart now!

With Global having (finally) released a statement yesterday to address some of the rampant speculation surrounding the airline, I've taken a look at this in more depth (along with a bit of a "mea culpa"). youtu.be/SLLR6vm8yAk #globalairlines

With Global Airlines having completed their two inaugural flights from Glasgow and Manchester respectively, they seem to have gone radio silent. With their website offline for the past two weeks, I take a look at what the future holds for the airline. youtu.be/NAMrEzf01Ys #globalairlines

Very interested to hear your takes on the new suites onboard (business and PE). In the publicity shots, they make me think of the JetBlue Mint suites (transatlantic).

I think Vendetta was my all-time favourite TNG novel - so sad to hear of his passing. 😞

Money is obviously very tight, hence the $11 bottles of wine being served in business class and they have done the bare minimum cosmetically on the aircraft - unfinished livery (vs all their promo material); mismatched engine cowls (look closely at some of the pics); and soooo many clrrosion patches
