It just turned midnight and @SAS officially joined @skyteam. Somehow I’m impressed that my frequent flyer card changed from @staralliance Gold on the dot!

@gatisstanga @airBaltic @Airbus @riga_airport Congrats! Was just taking about this with Martin yesterday. Can’t wait for 50!

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

Today I am flying to @HeathrowAirport with @lufthansa for the @FIAFarnborough. My plane today is D-AINF, the same plane that last flew me to Heathrow.

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

On a LuftBaltic (or airHansa?) flight from Munich to Bilbao! Lufthansa is wet-leasing several Airbus A220s from @Gaussm’s @airBaltic to support its summer operations.

@RachLoxton Just wow. I left my last apartment with one more smoke detector than was there when I moved in. I hope they don’t hold that against me! 😅

I recently got the chance to sit down with Gareth Rogers, CEO at @FIAFarnborough to talk all things airshow including the heat, aerobic displays, and the order outlook. Check it out on @simple_flying here: https://t.co/J8MBqhJX3m

Every now and again I get to escape the office on the hunt for engaging content for @simple_flying readers. Today took me to #GICInternationalCatering to take a look at what goes into making meals for @airastana. Here’s a sneak peek, with a full report coming soon!

@JamieJBartlett Couldn’t have been 18 months and 2 days? My wife is away and won’t be happy if I listen to it without her 🙈 in all seriousness though, can’t wait to give it a listen!

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

@EconomyBeyond Don’t forget the wonders of ß and ü

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

@EconomyBeyond Safe flight! See you tomorrow at RECARO

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

@HeadForPoints I don’t know. I love the creativity. Certainly seems unique to me!

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

@rschuur_aero @WandrMe @HofmannAviation Flew return Salzburg-Dubai in J if that helps?

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

@FlyingFan1 Not necessarily. As a non German EU citizen resident in Germany I have to proactively register.

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

@Delta Slowly growing, but @lufthansa and not @Delta 🫣

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

@EconomyBeyond And? What’s the plan! 🙂

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

@tomfgoodwin You think that’s bad wait until you see the milk lids!

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

So the pilot told us that because the jet bridge was broken it was @Airport_FRA’s job to sort a bus out, but the didn’t. This meant it took us almost 40 minutes from arriving on stand right stepping foot in the terminal 🥲

[Thomas Boon @thomas_boon]

Was super excited when we taxied to gate A14 at @Airpor_FRA, knowing it’s one of the closest to the terminal. Less excited to know that for some reason we’re not using the jetbridge, and have been waiting onboard now 20 minutes for a bus… 🥲
