At Christmas time 1968 (age 5), my family embarked on a classic multi-leg, four-airline odyssey of a

Last Friday the Boeing 787 Dreamliner paid a visit to American Airlines and DFW. A few hundred people cheap airlineticket from American, DFW airport, Boeing, and the media were on hand at an American Airlines hanger to see the plane as it made its Dallas stop on the Boeing Dream Tour.
I ve seen video and photos cheap airlineticket of the 787 in flight and one of it s most distinguishing characteristics is the upward sweep of the wings. I thought that it was mostly due to airflow. I was surprised to learn that it s the shape of the wing.
AA Gate Agent Robin giving me a demo of the overhead luggage compartment. She had stopped by to see the plane on her way home from work. She was so excited to see the Dreamliner that she gave me a quick tour of some of the features.
It s a gorgeous plane. I talked to someone cheap airlineticket that had been a passenger on the 787 that oneworld member JAL just put into service between Boston and Tokyo. He said that the because of the greater cabin air pressure and higher humidity he felts less jet lagged, and tired from the long 13 hour flights.
I did a LOT of flying between the ages of 1 and 3 on BA between London and New York in the late 60s but forgot to ask what kind of plane I was on. Looking at the BA website, I m guessing I was probably on a BOAC Boeing 707.
I honestly don t know but talking to my mother I have it narrowed down to it was a flight from ABQ to either DAL or DFW around mid to late 1984 on one of 2 airlines (American or Southwest). But I am not knowledgeable enough about historic airline aircraft cheap airlineticket choice cheap airlineticket to know what plane those 2 airlines were using at the time and what type would be used on that particular route. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about these things could chime in.
Mine was a Boeing 767 charter to Hawaii. Originally scheduled SFO-OGG-HNL, diverted to LAX because another charter got cancelled. Tried to then fly to HNL first, SFO passengers in an uproar, captain had to get involved and agree to fly to OGG as originally scheduled.
[...] AAdvantageGeek is giving away 1,000 free AAdvantage miles and a bag of nuts. I don t understand what s so amazing about these nuts, but I m sure I ll find out eventually as I start using my new EXP status. He sure does like to talk about them, though. As for my answer to his quiz, I think my first plane ride was on a 767 to Hawaii. The charter flight from hell, as my dad remembers it, but I just know I was running up and down the aisles the whole time. [...]
I guess I was an airplane nerd back then, because I remember it was a DC-10, and the part that was most amazing was, as we started our approach into Hawaii the movie screen on the plane was showing a view from above the head of the captain.
So, as a kid (not to reveal my age) I was able to see the view from the cockpit runway and the airport as we approached. I really think it would be cool if planes still did this. For sure one of my top memories of flying cheap airlineticket to Hawaii.
I hope this doesn t disqualify me, but I have no idea what my first plane was. My parents were in the military, so traveling(moving) wasn t a fun experience, and thus my first flight made no impression on me.
It was a 737 when I was about 5 years old. I got pin-on wings, a deck of playing cards, and free snacks. The pilot asked me if I wanted to see the cockpit. I said no and my father, puzzled, asked me if I was sure. I said no again. After we de-planed my father explained that the cockpit is where the pilots sit to fly the plane. I started to cry I thought it was the cargo hold.
I was 5 and it was a PSA Lockheed Electra BUR-SFO. Remember it clearly I HAD to have my face right up against the giant window to watch the props. Made me fall in love with commercial aviation instantly!
At Christmas time 1968 (age 5), my family cheap airlineticket embarked on a classic multi-leg, four-airline odyssey of a type that ceased to exist with deregulation. cheap airlineticket We went from Fort Smith, cheap airlineticket Arkansas on an Ozark Fairchild-Hiller FH-227, switched to a United 727 at STL with stops at ORD, CLE, BUF, before finally landing in Albany. Returned from BOS on an Allegheny DC-9 to Memphis where we changed to a Frontier Convair 600 with a stop in Little Rock before arriving back in Fort Smith. We all flew in our Sunday best.
My first flight was on a puddle jumped from BUR to SAN. It was the most turbulent flight in the world. My father was worried sick for the entire flight. I was three and thought it was the most fun ride ever!
wow, this brings back sweet childhood memories! it was eastern airlines- I don t know the aircraft type, but it was JFK to miami, I took pictures of the clouds with my little kodak inastamatic, and I was hooked for life.
My first flight was on a 727, from Houston to Denver, on Continental airlines. I was 8 years old, and was assigned a middle seat. The old man in the window seat had to deal with me practically standing in his lap for the whole trip. I still remember how exciting it was to see the Earth from the air for the first time, and how strange it all looked. I remember asking the old man Is that a junkyard? , and he laughed and replied No, that is a city.
I don t really remember the make of the plane for my first flight cheap airlineticket it was in1975. I do remember, however, a woman in the seat next to me who said, when I said it was my first flight just pull up on the seat arms as we take of. It will help the plane get into the air.
Flew out of Duluth on Republic Airlines because my uncle had more free flights than he could use and thought I might never get another chance to fly! Almost certain it was a 727, nice and quiet with engines mounted to the rear.
