Yesterday, Japan Airlines and Finnair flights from Helsinki to Tokyo took very different routes. Even though it flew further, Finnair beat JAL to Haneda. We look at some of the flight planning considerations. flightradar24.com/blog/flight-...

I wouldn't be surprised if Turkish are making more on Manchester than any of their long haul routes!
I think @guardamos.bsky.social will approve!

It has a been a busy week!! Faro x2, Jersey & Geneva, Belfast & Amsterdam and an Athens.
The highlights were seeing an A340-600 in Amsterdam and a Boeing 737-400 in Geneva. The Athens was meant to be a Berlin, with my first flight on our A321NEO as crew, I was not impressed.
