Concorde made its last-ever flight on Nov. 26, 2003, departing London's Heathrow Airport and landing in Bristol, England, greeted by a cheering crowd gathered behind fences near the runway. These days, Concorde is sitting in museums all over the world.
TPC Flight School is excited to announce the release of our free Helicopters Basics Course. This quick and easy to digest course will help you understand the basics of flying a helicopter. Check it out! Since this is an introductory lesson, it’s focused on the basic information you’ll need to safely and correctly fly a helicopter in a simulator. This is NOT an exhaustive list of requirements, procedures, or considerations for helicopters, just enough to get you started. By the […]
Photo: Manu Venkat | AirlineReporter Now that Air France’s Airbus A380s are retired, their flagship is now the 777-300ER. That feels fitting, because Air France was the 77W’s launch customer back in 2004. During the pandemic the airline was quietly working to redesign their onboard product, highlighted by a sweet suite-style business class seat. And a month ago the first renovated 777-300ER took flight between Paris and New York, with more planes and routes to follow. Photo: Air France We […]
Our flight from Keflavik to Seattle boarded via a proper jetbridge The COVID-19 pandemic made for some mighty strange times. A January 2023 trip to Reykvavik with Icelandair marked my first time out of the United States since early 2020. I’ve been able to fly a lot domestically, but this would be the first time I’d get to use a passport in nearly three years, ending my longest international travel dry spell in decades. And, boy, was I looking forward […]
Southwest drink coupons. These won’t work since they are expired. – Photo: JL Johnson Southwest flyers, rejoice! The airline has finally added a non-alcoholic option to their premium beverage menu. This is something I’ve wanted for over a decade. I even included it in my 2019 A-List wish list. Community Coffee’s new Espresso option – Photo: JL Johnson During the opening day of MCI’s new airport terminal, the fine folks at the LUV airline were handing their new Community Coffee […]
April 2nd Author’s Note : we hope everyone appreciated this April Fool’s joke (or at least realized it was a joke by the third line in). Fake news is a problem, so to make sure nobody gets confused, we wanted to drop this disclaimer to make it clear that this is not a real story. Thanks for reading! Elon Musk announced he will purchase a 51% stake in American Airlines. This continues his recent pattern of acquiring companies that play […]
Sometimes it’s hard to beat a classic. Japan Airlines’ 777-300ERs are the heavy lifter of their long-haul fleet. And although the current premium cabins have been flying for around ten years, they’re still a fan favorite. I had my first chance to fly JAL’s Sky Suite business class on a flagship route from New York JFK to Tokyo Haneda – now I completely understand why it’s so popular. As an added bonus the window seat views were pretty amazing, since […]
To everyone who gave up hope for New York’s airports, I can see why you did. For way too long, JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark were congested outdated disasters. But at long last the powers-that-be are investing in massive renovations. We wrote about JFK’s New Terminal One project, which broke ground a few months ago. But without a doubt, LaGuardia is the airport that is furthest along in its makeover. And the results so far look amazing. What surprised me most […]
