Airbus Versus Boeing

02/01/2020 by peter.doornbos@outlook.com

12/06/2018 by peter.doornbos@outlook.com

How can I maximise my carry-on luggage? I remember when carry-on luggage was simply a bag of goodies you took into the aircraft cabin with you to keep yourself amused for a long flight.

Flight mode, why do we need to use this when we fly?

27/11/2017 by peter.doornbos@outlook.com

At this time, make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position and that your seat belt is correctly fastened. Also, your portable electronic devices must be set to ‘airplane’ mode until an announcement is made upon arrival. Thank you.”

20/11/2017 by peter.doornbos@outlook.com

Aircraft noise can be a very emotional subject for those who are affected by it in their day-to-day lives. Yes, like other aircraft enthusiasts, I love being next to an airport taking in the sights and thrilling at the gut-shaking sounds of powerful jets.
