Wow! How awesome & informative is this video 👌🏻😁

@scottiebateman Wow this is an awesome video! Thank you for sharing with us Scott 👌🏻🥰

Before dawn over Armenia, the sky starts to look almost alive. This timelapse was captured westbound as we crossed one of the busiest, and most geopolitically sensitive pieces of airspace on Earth. To the south lies Iran. To the north, Russia. Between them, a narrow corridor through the Caucasus carrying hundreds of aircraft linking Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Every light you see here is another aircraft, another crew, another story moving through the night. What makes it remarkable is the precision. At closing speeds approaching 1,000 mph, aircraft pass each other separated not by miles, but by carefully managed vertical layers of airspace. Invisible highways in the sky, built on GPS accuracy, disciplined procedures, satellite surveillance, and trust. And yet these routes are never static. Politics shapes them. Conflict bends them. Closed airspace redraws them almost overnight. What was once a straightforward great-circle route can quickly become a carefully threaded path between terrain, and diplomacy. From the cockpit, though, there’s a strange beauty to it all. Tiny lights crossing ancient landscapes. Modern aircraft moving through corridors shaped by geography and history alike. Controlled. Precise. Fleeting. A reminder that aviation is never just about the aircraft. It’s about learning how to move safely through an increasingly complicated world.

@MCCCANM Here in UK I like to get to airport 3-4 hrs before departure, caveat that by saying i’m an avgeek 😬

My Summer air travel advice: 1) Fly early. Later in the day storms brew, delays pile up & everyone who missed earlier flights are trying to get on yours. Overnight hours are a “reset” for the airlines. 2) At least 2 hours for international connections. At LEAST. 1 hour for domestic is a gamble, but usually works. More is better. 3) Assume the boarding door will close 10 minutes prior to departure time. Departure time is the time we push back from the gate, not the time the jet’s door closes…which must be earlier than departure time. 4) I still arrive 2 hours before departure when traveling on leisure. You can do less, but there is stress if something goes wrong. Get there, have a beer & be in boarding area 45 minutes before departure (60 for international). 5) Yelling at the Gate Agents will not help, and only hurt your cause. Be nice. They can’t do magic, but they try harder for nicer people. 6) It’s an extremely complex system. If you think you’ll outsmart it, you’re wrong. I’ve been kicked off a jet while non-reving after pushback because the winds changed & we were now too heavy. 7) The crews want to leave as badly as you do. They mostly don’t get paid for delays, and now their layover is shot…or they’ll get home late. They won’t leave until it’s safe, though, and ATC wouldn’t let them if they tried. It’s not really up to them. 8) The airlines are not making a ton of profit on your ticket. In some cases, your ticket was sold at a loss. Perspective. 9) It can get uncomfortable. Too hot, or just sitting around. Everyone else is uncomfortable, too, and we’ll go as soon as we can, but don’t be the person who complains loudly & adds to everyone’s misery. 10) Go to the bathroom before you board. It may be extra bumpy for a long time & the seatbelt sign will be on even after we reach cruise. Hope that helps. Safe flying!

@qmee Hi, all resolved thank you, I can now log in using the website

@grumpyoldmoo Hi there, Thank you for your patience. Can you please let me know if you managed to login since?

@qmee havn’t been able to log on for several days, password too short now needs to be 8 characters 🤷🏼‍♀️. No password reset link received. No reply to my email 🤷🏼‍♀️What’s going on?

🙈🤣🤣🤣

@qmee Sadly not. I still havnt been sent a password reset email either. I have downloaded App to ipad & able to log in no trouble with that, which has left me confused as why invalid password when using laptop 🤣

@kayliekaywrites Aww Zeus you are adorable 🥰. I’m just a little green with envy Kaylie 🤣

Hard to get anything done around here today… I think Zeus knows we are leaving 🐆

@qmee I have requested password reset from support@qmee via email when I could not log in as password suddenly too short, but have received no replies at all. I check my junk folder several times a day.

@grumpyoldmoo Have you tried using a longer password? Have you checked your spam/junk folder?

@qmee Hi, thank you for your quick reply, email is rolfe_nikki@hotmail.com

@grumpyoldmoo Hi Nikki, Could you please let me know your Qmee email address? And send over a screenshot to show what happens? Thanks, The Qmee Team

Fascinating 😁

🤣🤣🤣

@Dunibear @TaraBull Me also

@TaraBull If anyone did that to one of my dogs I’d probably end up in prison 🤬🤬🤬

Pet sitter caught abusing a dog in Michigan may face charges She was hired through Rover, but is not being named due to an ongoing investigation

@scottiebateman Far East , Australia or both, we havn’t ventured that far yet

Another early morning ferry ride in Hong Kong… I am looking forward to a hike today but my poor Scottish skin isn’t. Forecast 29C and high humidity will make it a tough one. Home this evening after a planned, but shorter than normal, layover in what is my favourite destination at the moment. If you could go anywhere, no barriers, where would you plan your next adventure to be? Mine… would be space 🧑‍🚀

🤣🤣🤣

Fully deserved imo

Totally agree
