Woke up just in time to hear the loud interception. What a start to the day.

@stats_feed But largely uninhabited

🇸🇦 The true size of Saudi Arabia

@claireindubai As long as it stops all the attacks.

Not that we haven't had much happening here lately, here comes ALL the weather ....

@NorthRacingClub Revolutionary back in the day.

@jamiebsmith Wow! What a shame! Just literally taking about the BA 747s today with their upstairs deck & first to have flat beds in business!

What a state this Queen is in.

Hi. I’m Julie.

Amazing how Sean describes it as; “A complex and highly-skilled upgrade.” Whereas Qatar claim; “Starlink has made the installation of the new system incredibly simple, and far quicker than previous systems. The kit for each aircraft literally turns up in a crate, ready to go.” 😂

@m_jharrison @SERobinsonJr @elonmusk @Starlink And now their rollout is complete

STARLINK: British Airways has revealed that its first aircraft fitted with Starlink is a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with registration G-ZBJJ. It is currently in flight as BA197 from London Heathrow to Houston, Texas; the first BA commercial flight with Starlink! It departed London around 3:25 p.m. GMT, and should arrive in Houston around 9 p.m. CST. Per British Airways CEO Sean Doyle, "The roll out of Starlink is making excellent progress... This is a complex and highly-skilled upgrade to our fleet, and I want to thank all our teams who are working hard to make this possible. I know our customers will be looking forward to using this service soon." Kudos to BA making the service free for all passengers in every cabin. Starlink is complimentary, gate-to-gate, with no extra charges for streaming, working, or connecting on multiple devices.

@m_jharrison A huge compensation bill!

Please make it make sense. The UAE should be getting compensation from Iran!!

Eid Mubarak everyone! Wishing all a joyful and prosperous year ahead.

@JasonUnsworthAA So greedy. Daylight robbery.

Absolutely 💯 disgraceful prices!

@m_jharrison Can’t beat a West Beach sunset. Enjoy!

Oh, I thought Dubai was dead and everyone has fled???

@Geordie_Obroni That’s great to hear. The airport and airline staff are doing a fantastic job of making everything as smooth as possible.

@jamiebsmith It went off just as my husband was leaving for the airport for a quick Eid break. But the all clear came timely and the phenomenal staff at DXB and Emirates had his flight take off on time.

Another alert. Just as I took my contacts out.

@AJaln Or beat someone up so that they sustain life long injuries but then claim for compensation from them because your shirt needs dry cleaning because of all the blood.

@jamiebsmith When I read this I was like you crash someone’s car that is correctly parked and you ask for compensation from them?

Wow. How can compensation be due from a victim, a victim that has not even retaliated to extensive attacks?

Exclusive from @oliver_wright Airlines have been warned that they will face jet fuel shortages as soon as next month, risking flight cancellations to long-haul destinations at the end of the busy Easter holiday period Oil traders expect to see shortages of jet fuel from the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz within the coming weeks as reserve supplies are run down and not replaced This week, Vietnam became the first country to warn of possible flight cancellations from April after China and Thailand announced they were halting exports of fuel to maintain their own supplies Other countries are expected to follow suit in the coming days with industry experts warning that airlines could be forced to stop serving some long-haul destinations because they may not be able to get the fuel for the return journey Britain is also vulnerable to potential disruption if the conflict continues as the majority of the country’s imported jet fuel comes from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates thetimes.com/uk/transport/a…

@afscott That’s a very rare sight.

the dubai 10 day forecast includes 7 days of rain 🫠

@JSS779 @JonoH @ADNOCGroup Yeah. Used to be my regular coffee spot in Greenwich, London.

@jamiebsmith @JonoH @ADNOCGroup Oh fab, do they have their own cafés?

Considering it’s a complementary coffee McDonalds still makes an effort. For a while I’ve personally rated their coffee as pretty good, especially when you consider the price point.

@JSS779 @JonoH @ADNOCGroup GRIND is also a favourite of mine at DXB.

@JonoH @jamiebsmith @ADNOCGroup One of the lovely BA ladies handed me a bag of their new coffee in the CCR a few weeks ago. I've not got round to trying it though, too much ✈️ 🙈

@monkeyhead78 @SkyNews DVLA are ethically corrupt.

@SkyNews Heartless fkrs!
