Do we have any dates for AK's first birds?

Thanks for the positive feedback. Just FYI, the whole video was recorded, edited, rendered directly from my Samsung Galaxy S7. (flight mode on obviously) The gimbal? My hand There is enough space around the window for a suction cup, but as noted here, some airlines frown on that. If you want to get a camera, the new Go Pro 6 helps thanks to the OIS, or the smaller mirrorless cameras that has OIS. iPhone 8/X and Galaxy S8/Note 8 have great OIS tho.

Got to share my own video of my short trip with the A350 - sorry for the plug My takeaways: - That Y+(?) section is small, but i can see people wanting to pay for it - I like the fabric used on the seats - The Android-based IFE is usable. But silly there is no tail-mounted camera. - Huge windows are huge. My forehead rests on the window itself when I lean on it, rather than the bulkhead on other planes. - The best thing about the plane - it is very quiet. Similar decibel levels i think to an a380, and just a tad quieter than the 787. I flew with an a320 back and oh man, the sounds in the cabin sungguh meriah (from the hydraulic pumps and whatnot)

I think its now at the bottom of the screen? Not sure who is the supplier for the IFE in the a350.

Wish i was there to see the plane. On the other hand, the a350 microsite on MAB's site is live - you can see the new seats clearly: https://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/en/campaign/a350.html

Got to say, the downward nose of both the A350 and the 787 plays well with the MAS livery.

My only comment is why isn't the part where the wings joins the body painted?

Both MAS and D7 looking for leasing contracts for a330s? That plane family is really getting its value used to the fullest.

What are the odds. Also 75 souls on board - is the yield for LHE - KUL that bad?

Nah - their planes dont have the stamina to go 11 hours, much less 18. What i envision is that they will be leveraging on Japan - the Japanese loooooves Hawaii. We may see either of the following routes as part of their entry into US: KUL - HND - HNL KUL - KIX - HNL KUL - KIX - GUM KUL - NRT - HNL Basically Japan will be the secondary spoke for US operations. Well, unless they pick up a few 777 for their long distance flights.

Oh my. We may get the special painted ANA planes afterall!

Ah. No wonder Runway 33 was closed until like early evening.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNjGSdihqtm/ A post by Benyamin Ismail on Twitter and instagram of AirAsia branding at Tokyo ComicCon. What caught my eye is the NB airbus on the art - it looks to be an a320/321 - but with AirAsia X c/s This may just be for the benefit of the show event - or is it a sign of things to come?

Good god. The AK/D7 ladies would need super long hands (or selfie sticks!) to reach to the window passengers :D Does it need to be a B77W tho? Especially when they can load it up with the light Mirus seats?

Thanks for the except from CA Flee. Interesting indeed. So the 777 news may not be too far fetched afterall. Also June 2017 - Hawaii, but with the president-elect , will we have problems going to Hawaii? Or this flight will be mainly a Japan-centric marketing idea.

Actually the 777 was with the Olympians. The Paralympics luck was that they got the a380 for the flight. EK346 was operated by A6-EEL yesterday. The paralympians were sitting at the front economy cabin, just behind 1L. If the live feed yesterday was correct - that was a normal C gate. Not sure which gate was it though. Bunga Raya only received the paralympics - not the whole plane.

Captured these two with my smartphone. 9M-MXL doing the daily SIN-KUL run 9M-MTL doing the daily NRT-KUL run.

The fact that the investigation was for an event from last year, and only released today says alot about it. The ATSB must have been really thorough with the investigation.

Interesting. Going against Air Bayu? Want to pick up on the 777s we have laying around? Also I guess the writer of the copy punya keyboard, the spacebar was sticky. A couple of places lacked the space between the words. Good luck and safe speeds to FlyGlobal!

While the two new hires from OZ are the current stars of D7, this piece of news is quite newsworthy - at least for me: So, possible option than Cairns, which is the closest 'big named city'?

Sounds so like a clickbait title Many would like to have a single trip than multiple stop trip to Queen's land, from Queensland.

I was thinking of headwind and all, but cools. Also Jani

Perhaps their route planner jumped the gun? Even so, this may just pave their way back to UK with multi-stop itineraries. Can (on paper) the A330neo do 15 hours non stop to London?

Wow Barcelona. I wonder why BCN though.

Wonder if the Max9 can support MINT-like cabin up front. Not sure if it is economically and MTW feasible though.
