NAIA Terminal 3 is a (literally) hot mess and it deserves it's reputation as being one of the worst in the world. But we already have an alternative. #Philippines#AirTravel
Tori Lacey, 26, chronicled the troubling incident on her #TikTok & #Instagram pages, where she usually posts content about her #travel exploits as a person who uses a #wheelchair.
A Norwegian study finds that climate emissions from air travel are 50% higher than reported to UNFCCC.
Under-reporting by Member States is very likely a problem across the board, not just aviation. There are clear political incentives to do so. Climate scientists and the United Nations are working with doctored data.
After enduring the travails of air travel — stressing in the security line, praying there’s enough space in the overhead bin, weather delays, baggage fees, all of it — sometimes it’s nice to enjoy a cold one. Some airlines know this and are offering specially crafted beers during the in-flight beverage service. Food & Wine has more on this new meaning of “tasting flights.” https://flip.it/MguYCI #Culture#Travel#Beer#AirTravel#Drinking
Less than reassuring that #EdinburghAirport is showing tomorrow's flights as an hour later than they actually are, presumably because their system hasn't been set up to handle DST/BST correctly. No indication on the site re what timezone they're displayed in & I wonder how many people will miss or be scrambling for their early morning flights as a result of this. And of course it filters through to a bunch of 3rd party sites that scrape from the airport departures data. 🙄 #Edinburgh#AirTravel
'The new website, Am I Flying on a Boeing, is an incredibly straightforward way to learn the kind of aircraft you’ll be boarding for any upcoming flights. All you need is your flight number and the date you’re flying.'
Here's another, someone compile a list before I do?
A Boeing 777 has six tires on each of its two main landing gear struts, according to the airline. It is designed to land with missing or damaged tires.
I respect screaming babies on airplanes because they're the only ones providing honest feedback about the overall air travel experience — @VeryBadLlama#quotes#quote#airtravel#feedback
Has anyone flown with their #pet into the #EU (since Brexit, if from the UK)?
I'm trying to find out some info on what happens when you land at the EU point of entry - do the officials just check documents (Animal Health Cert, etc) & scan the microchip, or does a vet do a check-up of the #animal? #PetTransport#AirTravel#Airport
On the one hand, it's good to know that a Boeing 737 can land safely after a window blows out in midair. On the other, I'm not sure I could ever get myself back in a plane if I'd been seated anywhere close to the blowout.
While not new, Southwest's "customer-of-size" policy is back in the spotlight, echoing the growing need for clearer plus-size passenger protocols as Americans expand and airplane seats shrink.
