Besides the fact that this is really horrible aircraft utilization, one other thing about this pic interests me. How come GIA was allowed to have its 77W depart LHR at close to 1am, when I thought LHR had a curfew of no flights past 11.30pm, and stories of plane-full passengers ready for deprartu...

I'm a QFF member based in Indonesia, and I want to use my some 28,000 QFF points one of these days. From the 'Where can I go?' page, it is advertised Sydney-Singapore in economy is 28k + 135AUD, but when trying to actually book the rate it seems impossible to get it, with most rates (even saver o...

As many people have said, mechanical issues aren't rare in the airline industry. They're part of the industry.Could SQ have handled it better? Maybe. Do you deserve at least some compensation? Absolutely. But step in operations' shoes for a minute. As far as they knew, that plane could've been fi...

If you want to try your chances, by all means go ahead. But if no one wants to swap with you, no crying allowed.

Why are there so many Chinese Airlines in SkyTeam? There are 3 - China Eastern, Southern, and Xiamen Air, while oneworld doesn't have any (Cathay doesn't count).

Not just Europe, but most of their schedule. Was considering flying them to PVG in Oct last year as the 77W was loaded into the GDS but once they took that out weeks before departure, went with CX/KA instead due to QFF.

The runway in CGK is apparently too old and improperly maintained to properly accomodate a fully fueled 777-300ER with full passengers and cargo.
