Re: Just for fun Round The World

With the current Russian overflights ban, you can do LHR/CDG/FRA/MUC to HND or AMS/CDG to NRT as a 2 leg RTW flight.

Leg 1 takes you down thru Europe, Turkey and into China before getting to Japan.

Leg 2 takes you out over the Pacific and up over the top of Alaska, Canada and onwards to Europe.

Re: Edinburgh Airport chief flags North America and China flights hope

Probably Air Canada redeploying aircraft to other routes rather than US flights.

Given the stories coming out about treatment of tourists at the US border, it wouldn’t surprise me if US travel suffers a decline this year.

Re: Global Airlines JFK

These may be route proving flights for the CAA. Let's hope so! An A380 on GLA-JFK blows the competition out the water down the M8. I’m not so sure that is the case when it’s a new operator with no track record. Had it been Emirates with an A380 or 777 that would have been a different matter.

Re: GLA and social media

Maybe the Numpties on the social media team should go on some training to understand the difference between a pic of a landing aircraft and a departing aircraft.
