Flying Honu Joyride: Trying Out ANA A380’s Premium Economy in a Fun Way
ANA dedicated its three “Flying Honu” A380s to one purpose – flying between Tokyo and Honolulu. Unfortunately, the demand on the route dropped to near zero when Japan closed its borders at the beginning of the pandemic. As a result, the A380s were grounded. Unlike other airlines which simply sent their A380s to storage, however,

Where Are Boeing Aircraft Made?
Modern manufacturing often relies on the global supply chain, and building aircraft is no exception. While most of Boeing’s aircraft assembly takes place in the USA, the numerous parts that constitute a modern aircraft are sourced from suppliers worldwide. In this article, I take a look at where and how Boeing assembles its aircraft, and

Is Air Canada Safe? (Yes, It Is.)
Whilst Air Canada does not have a perfect safety record, few airlines do, I would consider it a safe airline to fly with. As safe as any other major airline like American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines. Air Canada is IATA safety certified and its safety regulator, Transport Canada, scores highly in ICAO’s

The A320 family is one of the world’s most successful commercial aircraft types. The main type within the family, the A320 first started flying in airline fleets in 1988 and has been revamped with more efficient engines (new engine option – neo), available since 2016. There aren’t too many very noticeable differences between the original

Is Ryanair Safe? (Yes, It Is)
Let’s admit it, Ryanair hasn’t built its reputation on customer service or the comfort and amenities of its aircraft cabins. Ryanair is unapologetically a ‘no frills’ airline, and the more optional services you opt for the higher your ticket price. This is a highly successful business model, and Ryanair consistently ranks the number one airline in

Boeing 747 vs. 777: How Do They Compare?
The iconic Boeing 747 and its younger widebody counterpart the Boeing 777 are both trailblazers. The 747 was the first widebody commercial jet to be developed, and the 777 is the world’s largest twinjet aircraft. These aircraft first flew commercially in 1970 and 1995 respectively. Both of these aircraft have been highly popular with airlines

There are five Disney hotels including the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel, Hotel MiraCosta, Celebration Hotel, and the recently opened Toy Story Hotel inside Tokyo Disney Resort. In addition to those, there are also six “official hotels” – hotels located within the resort and run by major brands. One of those is Hilton Tokyo

Boeing 757 vs. 767: How Do They Compare?
The Boeing 767 and Boeing 757 were developed concurrently and embarked on their first commercial flights in 1982 and 1983 respectively. Both the 757 and commercial aircraft versions of the 767 are no longer in production, having been succeeded by new aircraft such as the Boeing 787. While both still feature in significant numbers in
