I arrived to #Guangzhou‘s T3 yesterday, which has only been opened in October 2025 and still smells new. Modern, shiny, but in large parts not completed. No metro connection yet. Shuttle busses only to T1 and T2 so that DiDi remains the fastest option into the city. #CAN #avgeek #Baiyun
This was probably the shortest flight I have taken so far. Definitely the shortest on a wide-body jet. 84 miles from #HKG to #CAN on #CX988. Taxi times were longer than the actual flight, which offered great views over the fragrant harbour. #HongKong #avgeek #aviation #A333
Weather in Hong Kong wasn’t really welcoming. Luckily I was only transferring, which often means long walks.
However, there was still enough time for a quick snack at the lounge. #HKG #TheWing #paxex #transfer #avgeek #hkia
Got a nice window seat with extra legroom on #CX652 from #SIN to #HKG today. Slightly delayed, with a decent meal and a great opportunity to shoot today’s perfect contribution to #wingfriday.
Goodbye Singapore, hello Hong Kong.

#Cathay have their own lounge at T4 in #Singapore and it‘s really nice.
For the bubble lovers (looking at one particular): yes, they’ve got you covered. (It’s not LPGS though)
#SIN #paxex #lounge #avgeek #speedbird
I haven’t been to T4 at #Changi airport before and I am impressed. In other cities this would be an airport of its own, not just another terminal.
Modern, spacious and super efficient. And yes, spotless clean too. It’s #Singapore after all.
#avgeek #SIN #airport #aviation #paxex
That’s probably another good explanation. 👍
Full house on #LX176 from #ZRH to #SIN. Still enough privacy in #Swiss’ throne seat.
While the ME3 carriers are trying to rebuild passengers‘ trust, other airlines are seeing increased demand. SQ expects a record passenger load factor of 90+% in March.

Heading back to #ZRH from #BUD on #LX2259 operated by #Helvetic Airways. This evening’s light meal serves well as my appetizer to my main course on the upcoming long haul flight.

#LX2254 from #ZRH to #BUD for a few hours in the Hungarian capital. Long enough for a quick Lángos stop in the city centre.
#avgeek #A223 #airbaltic #Ferihegy
#LX975 marks the beginning of another exciting two week trip. With pilots of the old birthday lady currently on strike and most flights cancelled, her younger #Swiss sister is my airline of choice today. And it’s a good one.
#BER #ZRH #A223 #Lufthansa100 #strike
From sunny #MUC to the grey and gloomy temporary home of a special visitor. Quick 50 minutes right behind the curtain.
What an amazing weekend trip to Toulouse it has been with 4 out of 4 #Airbus flights to their birthplace. #avgeek
#BER #LH1926 #A321 #B763 #wingsofzion
Leaving the pink city in the morning on #LH2217 on a route along the Alps with perfect visibility above Switzerland.
I’ll never understand why people choose an aisle seat voluntarily and miss those stunning views. #teamwindowseat
#TLS #MUC #A320 #avgeek #Toulouse #happyEaster
Early departure from #Toulouse airport this morning, where they are selling #Airbus merchandise in a dedicated section of the duty free shop. From the open air terrace you can see their big whales waking up. Pleasant #paxex.
#Blagnac #TLS #airport #avgeek #aviation
F-WTSB has never flown regular passenger services with #AirFrance but has been used by French presidents on foreign visits to promote the aircraft.
Note #Concorde’s small windows. For the records: my hands are not particularly big. 😂
#Aerospatiale #monumenthistorique #avgeek
Disguised as the #A300 prototype F-WUAB, this frame is actually line number MSN 238, built for #LakerAirways.
It later flew for #Panam and Indonesian #SempatiAir, as seats and signs still reveal. (3/4)
#Airbus #aircraft #museum #aeroscopia #history
Commercial, military, private aircraft, prototypes, freighters, iconic pieces of engineering and strange vehicles from the early days of aviation.
Quite a collection of different exhibits. (2/4)
#Toulouse #Airbus #SuperGuppy #aircraft #museum #avgeek
A few impressions from today’s visit to #aeroscopia, the aviation museum near #Toulouse airport, which showcases milestones of European aircraft production, both outdoors and indoors. (1/4)
#Blagnac #Airbus #Caravelle #Concorde #aviation #avgeek
Germans don’t have a sense of humour, they say. #Lufthansa marks the exception to the rule with their iconic flight two two two two to Toulouse. A smirk on the face, an exit row seat, free WiFi and chocolate. What else could an #avgeek ask for?
#MUC #TLS #LH2222 #A320 #aviation
Must be a first class ride when it has the famous Lufthansa First Class rubber duckie next to the door, right? Riiiiiight?
Well, it wasn’t. Just a short coach hop from #BER to #MUC as as part of an #avgeek weekend.
#LH1947 #A321 #aviation
Leaving #AMM to the south and avoiding Israeli airspace gave me some extra time to enjoy lunch. Very charming cabin crew and stable Wi-Fi connectivity, good enough to follow the flight progress live on flightradar24. #planefood #avgeek #paxex
Finally going home. #RJ137 from #AMM to #BER was operated by one of #RoyalJordanian ‘s new Embraer 195-E2 which comes with an unusual configuration for a regional jet. Staggered Crown Class seats to ensure aisle access. But with reduced privacy. Not a fan of it. #avgeek #EMB #E295
Despite its proximity to some of the war affected countries, it is remarkable how #AMM airport and #RoyalJordanian manage to guarantee relatively stable operations in troubled times. #Amman #avgeek #airport #qaia
Due to the repeatedly suspended ops at #DXB airport yesterday, I missed my connection in #AMM. No problem, I got re-booked and was provided with accommodation. But please, #RoyalJordanian, consider choosing another hotel for your valued passengers. The airport hotel is terrible. #avgeek
Royal Jordanian‘s #A320neo feature the new regional Crown Class cabin, which marks a massive improvement over the previous seat. Spacious, with bluetooth connectivity and a big screen. Free WiFi too. Great #paxex!
#DXB #AMM #RJ613 #avgeek #aviation
Scheduled departure: 06:45am
Actual departure roughly 6 hours, two drone interceptions and consequent removal of debris on the northern runway later.
What a way to be sent off. Bye bye, #Dubai!
#DXB #airport #UAE #drone #iranwar
While #Emirates tries to resume stable operations as fast as possible, the number of flights of other airlines at #DXB airport is still limited. For my early departure on Royal Jordanian, #Dubai’s terminal 1 still looked like a ghost town.
#UAE #airport #aviation
What was planned as an extended weekend trip, turned into an unexpected adventure of more than a week. #Dubai has always been a stunning place and despite the recent attacks I felt very safe. Various bookings and cancellations later I left the country today.
See u again, #UAE.
