A Short Hop on Air Canada Express from Vancouver to Seattle

-

On a recent trip to the USA and Canada I was looking for a good deal for a flight from Vancouver to Las Vegas. United.com happened to spit out a routing which appealed to the aviation geek in me! Vancouver-Seattle-San Francisco-Las Vegas. With rides on Dash 8-300, Bombardier CRJ700 and Airbus A320-200. I snapped it up in an instant! I would get to add both a new carrier and TWO new types to my log.  Airline:  Air Canada Flight:  AC8099 Vancouver - Seattle Aircraft:  DeHavilland Dash 8 - 300 C-GETA (delivered in 1989, 22 years young) Seat: 8A (Economy Class) Scheduled Departure:  17.50 Actual Departure:  18.08 Scheduled Arrival:  18.39 Actual Arrival:  18.48 (9 mins late) I took the hotel shuttle from the Hilton Vancouver Airport (Richmond) and arrived almost 2 hours before departure time. A quick check of the departures board reveals 2 direct flights to Las Vegas leaving within 10 minutes of my flight to Seattle...

The Jetstar Boeing 787

Jetstar are slowly changing the long haul fleet over from the Airbus A330-200 to the Boeing 787-8 and so far they have 4 aircraft in service. I recently took a ride on VH-VKE which was just 2 weeks old at the time. I rode on it between Melbourne and Sydney, which was a domestic tag for a flight that originated in Phuket. As such it departs from the international terminal but they do sell tickets for domestic passengers too. VH-VKE at the gate

Thai Airways Domestic Flying on the Airbus A300 ( TG203 / TG206 )

-

---------------------------- Much to the disgust of many frequent flyers, Thai Airways is still using the Airbus A300 on it's domestic and some regional routes. Most people think they are very OLD aircraft, and yes, when compared to say a 777 or A330 they do indeed seem a bit dated. What many people don't realise though is that a large number of Thai's A300-600R fleet are only 12 years old, delivered in 1998. Some of the older models are built in the late 80s though and the business class cabins on any of them leave much to be desired. But for a 1 hour hop on a domestic flight in Thailand they are quite adequate. Although there are not many A300 operators around now a days, there are many Boeing 767 operators and those aircraft are of similar age, look at the Qantas Boeing 767 fleet for example. Myself, I still enjoy flying on the A300, they are large and comfortable and quite suited to Thai's domestic operations. Today I am taking a trip on the A300-600R from Ba...
