Air-ships were on another lower level. They had constant leaks.

747 (big one) at the end of the line.
Boeing’s 747 assembly line is winding down. The aircraft manufacturer only has 12 orders left to fill. When the last jumbo rolls off the assembly line, it will mark the end of an era for an aircraft that’s spanned fifty-plus years. Production of the plane is expected to wrap up next year.

I always travelled in business class on that plane (8 times upstairs).

Must be satisfying to have the farts of the beer class slowly waft up to those lofty perches.

I've only twice ever flown business class. Once to Iceland, once out of South Korea.

When I used to travel 100% for work I got a lot of business class upgrades, but not any more. Until I win a Lotto I'm stuck in the cattle car.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Long distance always business. Got an upgrade twice to first class which few airlines have. It is business plus. Food is the same though. KLM called it the Royal Class with even bigger seats and huge tv screens.
Within Europe just cattle grade. Well Aer Lingus does not have anything else in Europe but I liked it as flying Schiphol Cork was a doddle.

In economy? Cant hardly buy beer there. I was once asked if I was an alcoholic when I asked for a second beer on Easy Jet once coming home from Edinburgh. In business it started and ended with champagne with the odd dram in between.

Lithium is like o-rings (space shuttle), we can't live without them. Just like silicon.

Wow, I never noticed before, but I get why it was called jumbo jet.

One flight on the A380 ...lovely plane but 17 hours DFW to Sydney ....never again.

We did the 380 from Joburg to Dubai last year. Wait a minute, it was 2019. Jesus. It's fucking huge, and when turbulence hits it feels huge.

Atlanta-Joburg runs about 16 hours, the return about 17. It's fucking brutal, that's why we started flying via the UK. This last trip we did Joburg/Dubai/London/Tampa, spending a few days in the UK with family. The stop in Dubai is a bit of a pain, we'll probably do BA direct Joeys/London in the future.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
