Awww thanks.
If you weren’t spoken for…Awww thanks.
I always thought the point was that by carrying more passengers it would be less fuel per passenger, is that down to them not being configured for maximum occupancy or was that never the intent?Still, it is remarkable that several airlines who had mothballed their A380s during Covid and had expected never to reactivate them again are doing just so, even with the higher fuel cost per passenger seat.
I’m nothing but a nerd, but according to various articles on the subject and discussions on aviation fora, it’s a combination of factors. The first one is that four engines will always be more uneconomical than two, and as engines have continuously evolved and become ever more powerful, you can now fly 400-seat planes on two engines on ultra long haul routes that used to be possible with 4-engine planes only. So it’s a simple mathematical calculation: despite the A380 carrying more pax, for most routes a large twin-engine plane can do the job cheaper per passenger mile.I always thought the point was that by carrying more passengers it would be less fuel per passenger, is that down to them not being configured for maximum occupancy or was that never the intent?
I did get to go on one about eight years ago on a trip to Australia with Malaysian airways. It was nice inside.

A Dutch airline is creating an 'adults only' area in the cabin on their long half flights to the Caribbean. For an extra €45, you can sit much further up towards the front of plane, separated from other people's ankle-biters by walls and curtains. Worth every penny if you ask me

The quiet zone will be separated from the rest of the aircraft—and comes at a premium.www.cntraveler.com
Fuck. Off.
Watch to the end and then let your brain work out what the yellow thing above his cockpit is.
But also
Couple of large vodkas and I reckon I'd pull that off.

Barrel rolls and loops. Let me “fly” it as well.
