Wow..I have to say that that seems like the worst plane experience for the average passenger. The ONLY delays I have experienced were because of the ice on the wings of the aircraft at 7 am in the middle of winter in Sydney. (Sydney have the curfew, so planes were just sitting there in the freezing cold conditions for over 7 hours). The thing I love about Qantas is that it regularly changes it's fleet to newer aircraft...I mean it makes enough money doing so anyway. The fairly new B747 they have will be gone in a few years after the A380's and 787's come. The B737-400 I think will be gone and replaced with 787 and/or 737-800. I never really complain on their flight when getting home. I always fly to Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane first when flying out of Canberra. Citizens of Canberra hate this, but I like it for many reasons. for one thing, there are flights every 20 - 45 minutes throughout each day from Sydney - Canberra and vice versa. Melbourne is a little elss dense, but maybe 7-8 flights a day and Canberra - Brisbane is about 4 or 5.
I actually don't understand why the Atalia flight didn't "speed up" if it was late. Every time there is a 20 minute delay in Sydney going to Canberra, I know that they speed up because one time the normal 50 minute flight, took less than 30 minutes! It was pretty funny because I was in Row 6 and my eldest brother was in the seat behind me, and after they gave me refreshments, the captain said "Uh...ladies and gentlemen...we are now making our decent into Canberra, can the cabin crew please (do they landing (something)??)" It was pretty cool and weird, but everyone just looked at each other with the "What the....already!!" Look on their faces.  :laugh:

Maybe the Alitalia captain couldn't care less, or he didn't want to waste fuel for "only" 20mins delay.

Hey guys, what was your first airline and flight?

My first - SkyEurope Airlines - bankrupted few hours ago :( I remember that flight very well, it was night charter flight from BTS to HRG...

Uh...that's kind of freaky. How weird is it to have an airline file for bankruptcy in real life...I mean in AirwaySim I file for it all the time.

My first flight was a Qantas Flight from Darwin  - Perth...I was like six months old...maybe younger...The first flight I remember is a Qantas flight from Darwin - Adelaide...that flight was actualyl supposed to be a Darwin - Sydney flight...but something was wrong with the plane and the Itinerary that said "Darwin - Sydney - Canberra" was actually "Darwin - Adelaide - Melbourne - Canberra"...17th January is a rememberance day for us...how it took 18 hours to arrive at our new home.  :laugh:

DUS - PMI (Düsseldorf/Rhein - Palma de Mallorca) I just didn't really notice to fly :( on a..... ??  *think* (5mins later) 737-300 in the mid nineties (arround '95). It was a LTU seasonal flight. I only remember that the sand in palma beach was that hot, that I had blisers on my feet :-[ :(..........

oh, that was when I just got 2 yrs old, and I walked even (since 2mths than, as my mom just told me).

Filippo

I was 3 months - my parents were bringing me back as if i were a prize of some sort :laugh:

There are tons of videos of me eating on the plane, watching the movie and all the sort of stuff which makes an old person happy :D There is also a video of me arriving at the airport and I look like a ball of clothes! :laugh: :laugh:
