$15 beers was the worst part.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Hong Kong is too big. Spent 12 hours there going from business lounge to business lounge. We were transported on electric buggies but it is massive. Shops were few and far apart.

Tell us about sin tax... and I suppose, that at that price, you got a half pint of donkey piss rather than a pint or more of good brew.

Re: Airplane and airline stuff
Grounded 737s went into dry rot. Wiring problems also. "Grounding." Should just ground the whole lot.

Just scrap them. It is a problem plane. Just a badly designed rush job.

Re: Airplane and airline stuff
I've done Emirates A380. The bar and everything is nice, but I prefer something more cosy like the 787 Dreamliner or A350. Also, flying through the Middle East, I'm just starting to enjoy the flight and then we have to transfer, 7 hours' in. I'll be looking to do Singapore Airlines or BA direct when things return to "normal".laklak wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 3:00 pmWe 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.

Re: Airplane and airline stuff
Airbus tells suppliers to gear up for record production on bestselling jets
Aerospace firm predicts strong but belated Covid recovery amid move to raise A320 output to 64 per month by 2023
Airbus has told suppliers it is planning for record production of its bestselling planes within two years in a sign of the manufacturer’s hopes for a belated but strong recovery for aviation from the coronavirus pandemic.
The European manufacturer said on Thursday it would increase production of A320 single-aisle aircraft to 45 per month by October, up from 40.
However, it said suppliers should be ready for a rate of 64 per month by the spring of 2023 for the A320, which is well suited to short-haul travel that is expected to bounce back the quickest. That would beat its previous highest rate target of 63, and would be followed by 70 per month at the start of 2024 and as high as 75 by 2025.
The aerospace industry has endured months of weak demand for planes during the pandemic as airline customers cut back on orders as their revenues dried up. Airbus and its US rival, Boeing, together cut tens of thousands of jobs worldwide as demand plummeted. Demand for Boeing planes was hit further by the crisis over its previously top-selling 737 Max, which was grounded for over a year after two fatal crashes caused by malfunctions.

Re: Airplane and airline stuff
I know plane production is kind of medium long term planning, but this looks like excessive optimism
