An airline doored business class suite in an outward-facing herringbone pattern. Each seat gets two windows, but none of them are blocked by the monitor side panel assembly, which is quite unusual in modern seats.

But can I ALSO just say how GREAT it is that this business class seat structure doesn't block out any of the windows?

Far too many modern seats would have some annoying cupboard blocking the view, which is WHY I CHOSE THE WINDOW SEAT, AIRLINES

Genuinely impressed by so much of this Philippine Airlines A350 cabin — the smart customisations of the seats, the evolutionary design approach, the way the visuals cut off the looooooong front cabin of the A350, and the MANY moodlighting scenarios.

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

For me, it's not just the churnalism, although I'm obviously no great fan.

It's that nobody seems to be asking questions, like "what have you done to ensure that this new livery and interior fits the red-white-and-blue GBR brand when CrossCountry is taken back into public ownership NEXT YEAR?"

look buddy, this medicine didn't socialise itself

…and in figuring out that agreement in French, I am suddenly struck by a semantic quandary: is it the *toffee* that is sticky (thus stickeuse), or the *pudding* that is sticky (thus stickeux)?

at the risk of being quite the cliché, I have started to prefer a good pouding au toffée stickeux with a light, chilled custard chock full of vanilla bean — like the crème anglaise one gets with an île flottante

yeah but do they still reek of Voyager

This — and the video above it in the thread — are genuinely horrific from an aviation safety standpoint, not least since so much of the world has relied on the FAA as a trustworthy regulator, operating in good faith.

From what Chair Homendy is saying, that is no longer the case.

learned the hard way to just name the discord "do it for the lolth" to start with, and be done with it

I decline to answer for professional favoritism accusation reasons.

346 Airlines, branded as just 346. Mostly eurowhite livery with big purple sans-serif billboard titles and a purple swoosh tail.

NGO base (24h airport, underserved market) with strong cargo market to take advantage of the 346.

Shorthaul fleet is A321ceo/neo, replacement fleet A330-900 + A350.

WEST EXPRESS 銀河：JRおでかけネット 新たな長距離列車「WEST EXPRESS 銀河」

Not technically! Apart from the cruise trains, the West Express Ginga has a night sleeper mode that it uses regularly.

I wouldn't say « très bien ». Her accent was rather Âllo âllo even when reading from a script, and her expressive language when not reading from a script was riddled with basic grammatical errors like not knowing the differences between singulars and plurals.

Nothing like this Ambassador, though.

In 2026, 57 of 62 ICE Air flights through MSP went to or from El Paso.

I've seen him doing a to-camera bit for socials but that's it — decent accent and fluency, haven't seen any interviews yet.

This former Ambassador is now, you will be entirely unsurprised to learn, now in charge of a Cambridge college.

The perfect example of this is that the UK Ambassador to France from 2021–2025 could barely speak French.

LIke, "bongjore gee swee" level of fluency.

It was just so embarrassing, and so very typically British.

Breaking news: one third of travellers absolute muppets.

A bar graph, with a smattering of bars of ~30 people some days between Nov 10 and Jan 1, then a large crescendo to 250 per day lasting 12 days, before slowing down to ~25 per day most days in February.

Three months of ICE flight observations at MSP: since November 10 there have been 84 known ICE Air flights operating through Twin Cities, with an estimated 3,563 detainees, in shackles, sent away from their homes in and around Minnesota.

Ah, thank you — in terms of rules, are you saying it won't work as easyJet Free Personal Item but would work as Paid Carry-On?

Basically I'm keen to understand if the extra couple days of clothes on a Japan rail trip would tip it over the "can use it as carryon in Europe" line.

this is the most egregious understatement of a thread and indeed a day that is FILLED with them

i am both making this face and chortling myself nearly off a chair right now

Mate… this header graphic is in extremely poor taste.

Did you consider the 44L version by any chance? I'm not usually as constrained by carryon dimensions and I'm 6'3" so am tempted by something a bit bigger.

Oh, I wish that had a passthrough!

Yeah — I realise I have weird criteria because:
• elderly millennial back needs backpack not duffle/tote
• 3-5 day Japan trip packing requirements
• absolutely must have passthrough
• rarely need to worry about airline limits
• need to use as pro work bag sometimes

OMG yes the onebag spreadsheet! I love it but also super keen for actual friend recs, so if you have one you love I am, as we (do not) say, tout oreilles.

What on EARTH would possess you to say "ask AI" to a question asking for personal recommendations? Absolute gen AI brainmelt behaviour.
