It just turned midnight and @SAS officially joined @skyteam. Somehow I’m impressed that my frequent flyer card changed from @staralliance Gold on the dot!

@gatisstanga @airBaltic @Airbus @riga_airport Congrats! Was just taking about this with Martin yesterday. Can’t wait for 50!

48th @airBaltic @Airbus #a220 YL-ABV has started it’s journey to @riga_airport from Mirabel. #aviationdaily #aviationlovers #aviation

Today I am flying to @HeathrowAirport with @lufthansa for the @FIAFarnborough. My plane today is D-AINF, the same plane that last flew me to Heathrow.

On a LuftBaltic (or airHansa?) flight from Munich to Bilbao! Lufthansa is wet-leasing several Airbus A220s from @Gaussm’s @airBaltic to support its summer operations.

@RachLoxton Just wow. I left my last apartment with one more smoke detector than was there when I moved in. I hope they don’t hold that against me! 😅

One thing that would improve life in Germany is having a bureaucracy bodyguard to shield you from all the crazy and threatening letters you get sent randomly. Today - my landlord accusing me of stealing a smoke alarm and billing me for one🙃 (it was never installed)

I recently got the chance to sit down with Gareth Rogers, CEO at @FIAFarnborough to talk all things airshow including the heat, aerobic displays, and the order outlook. Check it out on @simple_flying here: simpleflying.com/video/intervie… #FIA2024 #FarnboroughAirshow #Airshow

Every now and again I get to escape the office on the hunt for engaging content for @simple_flying readers. Today took me to #GICInternationalCatering to take a look at what goes into making meals for @airastana. Here’s a sneak peek, with a full report coming soon!

@JamieJBartlett Couldn’t have been 18 months and 2 days? My wife is away and won’t be happy if I listen to it without her 🙈 in all seriousness though, can’t wait to give it a listen!

It’s taken 18 months. But there is finally a new episode of The Missing Cryptoqueen. Sorry it took so long - you’ll understand why when you hear it… Available here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@EconomyBeyond Don’t forget the wonders of ß and ü

@EconomyBeyond Safe flight! See you tomorrow at RECARO

@HeadForPoints I don’t know. I love the creativity. Certainly seems unique to me!

Is it just me or is this a terrible place for a video ad?! It’s the hot desking area of the British Airways lounge in Heathrow Terminal 3.

@rschuur_aero @WandrMe @HofmannAviation Flew return Salzburg-Dubai in J if that helps?

@FlyingFan1 Not necessarily. As a non German EU citizen resident in Germany I have to proactively register.

Unlike Americans we are automatically registered to vote, Twitter.

@Delta Slowly growing, but @lufthansa and not @Delta 🫣

@EconomyBeyond And? What’s the plan! 🙂

@tomfgoodwin You think that’s bad wait until you see the milk lids!

This was the second worst idea the EU has had in the last 10 years .

So the pilot told us that because the jet bridge was broken it was @Airport_FRA’s job to sort a bus out, but the didn’t. This meant it took us almost 40 minutes from arriving on stand right stepping foot in the terminal 🥲

Was super excited when we taxied to gate A14 at @Airpor_FRA, knowing it’s one of the closest to the terminal. Less excited to know that for some reason we’re not using the jetbridge, and have been waiting onboard now 20 minutes for a bus… 🥲
