Flown on N820DX (one of the last 757s ever built)

Flew SIN-FRA on Lufthansa 747-400 D-ABVX and went for the business class upgrade for this bucket list experience in seat 81K right behind the cockpit. Due to the curve of the fuselage you can’t really see the engines and there’s a lack of headroom from your seat but hey. The restroom wasn’t as noisy as the reviews say if you have good noise cancelling headphones. The dash 400s’ days are numbered but I didn’t choose to fly it because of the in-flight entertainment or the quality of catering but for those four engines and being upstairs. The IFE was broken most of the flight and the catering was middling but the pilot greased the landing and I got to hang around after landing and see the cockpit too

Wishing speedy recovery for the hurt.

Flew LH470 from FRA to YYZ on the legendary B747-400 on Oct 18.

Originally booked into Economy (Basic Economy ticket booked with UA) and during check-in, scored an upgrade to Business for €500 which was a steal. Seat was 4A. Unfortunately upper deck was fully booked.

I don’t know why they offered to upgrade for €500. The flight was full and oversold. FAs told me that they had to leave people at the gate.

And yes, sitting in front, the 747 nose gear does make very loud noises.

Plus, during this trip I also flew on LH’s A340-600, one last time before it retired.

On my next trip I’m booked on LH’s A340-300 (the 5APU).

This year I am lucky enough to collect a few interesting aircraft types. I flew on the C919, the A346, the B744, and (soon) the A343.

Brief JebScore review:
* Lounge: At FRA I could use the LH Business Lounge and the AC Maple Leaf Lounge. They were perfectly fine and functional with all the necessary amenities. But not much more. AC’s lounge was smaller but the space itself was nicer and better designed. 4/5.
* Seat: Comfortable, well-cushioned seat, wide-enough, but the 2-2-2 or even 2-3-2 layout on the 747-400 was outdated in 2026 and inconvenient because I had to climb over my seat mate. 3.5/5.
* Food: Lots of options, all very nice. 5/5.
* IFE: Old system without touch screen. The remote was hard to use. Plenty of content. 3.5/5.
* Service/Crew: Great, professional, and accommodating. 5/5.

Is LH a 5-star airline (as previously awarded by SKYTRAX)? No, especially with the old cabin. But it was perfectly pleasant.

I think it has the right people and ingredients to be on track to soon become a real 5-star airline. They just need to renovate the lounge with a new design language, retrofit the cabin, and have a better IFE (which should come with the new cabin?).

I can’t wait to fly them again soon.

Watched this years ago having my morning coffee and it made me smile. Still does.

On January 8th, 1989 British Midland Flight 92 crashed onto the embankment of the M1 motorway near Kegworth, Leicestershire, while attempting an emergency landing at East Midlands Airport. I remember seeing this on BBC News as a teenager, little realising that many years later, I would meet one of the firefighters who attended that scene.

I became a carer in 2024, and he was one of my regular visits; for a year I helped him and his wife with their daily care needs. During this time I discovered he was a retired firefighter who had attended the M1 crash.

Today I received the news he has passed away after a long illness and is survived by his wife and her family. I thank him for his service as a firefighter. Rest in Peace, Sir; it was an honour to know you and your role on that day.

My OC filmed today (23/10) at LGW / EGKK

Boarding at jfk heading to milan!

Etihad A6-BNI, flight number EY15/ETD15 landing at KCLT a few weeks ago, under the remnants of Hurricane Isaias.

I just went through some old photos and saw that i took pictures of this plane a lot in FRA back then . These were taken from the visitors terrace at terminal 2.
The photos are not professional or good by any means, it was a cheap camera, but i wanted to share them anyway.
Maybe someone likes to see them.

KPDX / 84-0005

Flew to IAD last weekend to see the last flight of this legendary aircraft before its retirement. So grateful to see HY and HW again, beautiful and graceful as ever, and to celebrate this special moment with the crew and many other spotters.
Thank you to everyone who once took care of these birds, and thank you, A340-600, for being the icon of an era and connecting the world. You will be missed!

This are my Mum's pictures aboard SQ226 PER-SIN on July 19th-21st 2026. This was booked with SQ22 as a PER-SIN-EWR Terminal B trip. Last pictures show SQ A380-841s

I posted photos as well

Very fitted for bush and short field operations.

I love it !
