    Incredible Flight - Scoot's 'Pokemon' 787 Jet To Singapore Review

    In March, I flew Scoot from Melbourne to Singapore aboard their Boeing 787 Dreamliner for the first time. I was lucky enough to board their one-of-a-kind Pokemon jet and experience what it had to offer. So, how did the airline stack up for value for money, was the seat comfortable, and would I fly the airline again? Here's my review of Scoot's 787.

    The Worst Travel Experience.. Missed Flights & Cancellations

    In January, I attempted to travel to Seattle to celebrate with Boeing the final delivery of the iconic 747 series.

Here's a documentation of one of my worst travel experiences.

    Flying United Airlines & Air Canada through Canada

    In November 2022, I had the pleasure of flying United Airlines onboard their E170 from Newark to Toronto, followed by an A330 with Air Canada from Toronto to Montreal and one more regional CRJ flight after that.

    A Nightmarish 14 Hour Layover In Newark

    In this episode, I cover my nightmarish 14-hour layover in Newark following a flight from San Francisco to Newark Liberty. 

    Today's topics cover dealing with United Airlines baggage staff who could not locate a missing piece of luggage and run-ins with Uber Eats drivers while coping with the madness of Thanksgiving as police escorts, roadblocks and traffic were all present—making for quite 14 hours before eventual departure into Toronto Pearson, Canada.

    The Final Boeing 747, Alaska Retires A320 and Bonza Cleared To Fly!

    The Final Boeing 747, Alaska Retires A320 and Bonza Cleared To Fly!

    The last 747 emerged from a painting in Portland. However, instead of sporting a retro livery representing that of RA001, the first 747 appeared with a standard Atlas Air livery featuring Apex Logistics decals. Why is this? 

    Alaska Airlines has marked the end of an era by retiring its final Airbus A320, a rapid retirement following previous fleet announcements. The airline had already retired its A319s and now only has 10 Airbus aircraft remaining in its fleet. How it acquired its Airbus aircraft is quite intriguing. 

    Bonza, Australia's newest airline, has secured approval from CASA to begin scheduled passenger flights to regional airports from the Sunshine Coast and soon Melbourne. The airline had been seeking its certificate of approval since 2022 and encountered several delays that forced it to adjust its commencement date. However, Tim Jordan, the airline's CEO, says that the airline should begin flying before the end of the month.

    A New Runway and Airport Rail Link - Inside Melbourne Airport

    A New Runway and Airport Rail Link - Inside Melbourne Airport

    Melbourne will become the biggest city in Australia by 2030, and with this comes added constraints on an already busy airport.

    Melbourne will also subsequently overtake fierce rival Sydney. The city that Melbournians will tell you to steer well clear of. 

    A spotlight has been shone on infrastructure, especially in the transportation sector, through the added growth. 

    At the 151st IATA Slot Conference, held at the Melbourne Exhibition Center in the middle of November 2022, delegates from the aviation industry came from far and wide to discuss slots, future growth plans, technology and recovery from the pandemic, with Melbourne Airport being the host airport, it allowed them the opportunity to highlight growth plans in their city.

    On the sidelines of the 151st IATA Slot Conference, I had the opportunity to sit down with Jim Parashos, the Chief of Aviation at Melbourne Airport, to discuss the COVID recovery, new airlines, future outlook and how necessary upcoming infrastructure will be for the airport, communities and travellers.

    In addition, I was joined by Michael Cullen, SVP & Head of Airline Business Development at Melbourne Airport, to discuss all things Bonza, Australia's newest airline.

    Airlines Launch, CEO Interviews + More Aviation - 2022 Review

    Airlines Launch, CEO Interviews + More Aviation - 2022 Review

    2022 comes to a close, and it's time to reflect on the year, including the many ups and downs from attending the Northern Pacific Airways airline launch event to being fortunate enough to visit the 151st IATA Slot Conference and everything else in between as well.

    2022 allowed for interviewing key executives at airports and airlines, alongside much more that wasn't comprehendible initially. I appreciate your support throughout 2022 and am thoroughly excited to see what 2023 brings.

    The Man Saving Historic Air New Zealand Aircraft - DC-8s, 737s and 747s

    The Man Saving Historic Air New Zealand Aircraft - DC-8s, 737s and 747s

    Bring Our Birds Home is a campaign headed by Paul Brennan to bring historic aircraft that once flew with Air New Zealand back to the country where they can be displayed to future generations, and the importance of their role in New Zealand's growth can be understood.

    Dan sits down with Paul Brennan for what can be best described as an emotional love letter to aviation, understanding why Paul does what he does, the process of obtaining aircraft currently stored around the world, from the United States to Cuba and even to parts of Brazil.

    Discussion includes focusing on a DC-8 that Bring Our Birds Home is focusing on bringing back, alongside a Boeing 747 that's iconic to the Air New Zealand history, meanwhile exploring other aircraft types that are on the radar in the future.
