Traveler Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I flew once on a Tupolev TU-154. Very noisy and fun. That plane was an old Soviet era thing built without any thought to commercial viability. Even the toilet seat was heavy, solid wood. Didn't Lion Air first start flying with the Yak 40 or 42 type before they had enough money to buy modern aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgmaven Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think we have generally been spoilt by SQ and the new modern fleet. I remember going to Peru back in 2001, and all their domestic carriers flew 727s. The only airline flying the then modern 737-800 was LAN Peru. I also remember riding in a Fokker turboprop in Mexico, only to realize that it was formerly a MH plane. A lot of the internals had traces of its past, including some Malay signs! Слава Україні!

Guest loveairtravelling Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I like planes a lot since i was young. Always pester my family to Changi Airport to see planes landing and departing. Last time, Changi airport had viewing galleries that show u the entire stretch of the runways. Now not anymore. As an adult now who is able to afford overseas travel once a year, usually i will opt for the windows seat to view the scenery. The floating feeling when the plane ascend and land getting further away from me towards the fluffy cloud simply excites me. I don't understand how come some people choosing the window seats can just shut their windows when the plane reach the sky. For me, I will keep my eyes glue outside the windows, admiring the sky, ocean, mountains and the limitless fluffy cloud. hopefully one day I can find a job that allows me to travel overseas frequently.

Guest blah Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think all commercial airliners now fly at mach 0.83 - 0.85 at max speed. So pretty much standardised. Unless you are thinking of SpaceX or have access to a private jet. Not sure have fast Gulfstreams and Embraers and Bombardiers can go. Doubt they can be very much faster.

SOUTH african airlines and usually middle east or african airlines. Air Nui and air caledonia mat also use a340 to singapore. Some eastern european airlines also and Scandinavian airlined SAS may swop some of their planes interchangibly with legacy A340. SWISS AIR also intermittent swop a340 to singapore via bangkok.

flyerboy88 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yes SAA operates A346 to HKG. LX now uses B773ER for SIN-ZRH direct, no longer via BKK. SAS has suspended service to SIN too. Air Tahiti Nui TN uses A343 but doesn’t fly to SIN. Fiji Airways uses A332. LH used to operate a mixture of A343 and A346 between SIN and MUC. Not sure what a/c type now.
