I Know You guys Said It’s Random, But I remember returning with Winglets Faster After 2 or 3 Roundtrips
Its already the fourth Roundtrip
I tried using A320 From Thai Airasia Bangkok and Phuket starting a new contract and I’m still having the same issue.

I have to cancel my contract and rebuy them again.

Not seen that, but have been to a hospital with train and bus departures shown.

Here’s an example

It took me a few minutes but I finish translating it
Translate:

To the airport of the city: Vnukovo
Departure time: 7/1/2024
Flight code: TK-3950
Departure time: 20:30
Hotel at the: (had to be censored)
Time of departure: 15:30
Arrival time 3 01.01.1900 01:10

If you mean flight information from tour operators then I’ve seen it many times (I mean that’s how you get your transfers in most instances). I thought you meant the nearby airports main departure board.

Ecoaviation · August 28, 2024, 1:32pm

Exactly or that what I have though of before I made the post…

Well I didn’t stay there but to lgw from a car park you go through the Hilton hotel as a shortcut. There were flight departure boards in there if that counts.

carlsberg72 · August 28, 2024, 1:54pm

Yeah I’ve seen departure information in many hotels, especially closer to the airport that you are. Tour operators do this all the time. My last trip to Jamaica had 4 boards full of departure times, airlines, when you need to board the airport buses.
This is way more frequent than you might think

Ecoaviation · August 28, 2024, 2:41pm

Here are more examples

All Russian tour operators surprisingly especially where I stayed in Dalaman, Turkey have not see a departure notice board to Germany, Poland and UK.

Mid 2010s, late go around at Zakynthos due to a goat on the runway!

T3X45ranger · August 30, 2024, 7:45pm

Summer 2010. I was on an Allegiant Air MD88 from KEUG to KIWA and we did a low fly over the airfield then circled around to land. Didn’t feel like we were ever in approach and no TOGA thrust, so I’ve always wondered if maybe we had a landing gear concern so we overflew for someone on the ground to confirm?

ukplanespotter757 · August 30, 2024, 7:52pm

Average Allegiant MD-88 experience.

carlsberg72 · August 30, 2024, 8:06pm

Thankfully no go arounds, but I did witness someone trying to go the bathroom, 500ft up from landing. Never seen a flight attendant move that fast in my life. Grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back to his seat. 10 seconds later. Touchdown

Ecoaviation · August 30, 2024, 8:08pm

I haven’t but my friend has in 2022 on Aer Lingus flight from LHR to DUB was so windy that they had to go around 3 times before diverted to BFS, never thought Aer Lingus was going to visit BFS

Jamesonplanes · August 30, 2024, 8:12pm

Mine was in Gibraltar. Still a pedestrian on the runway

Ecoaviation · August 30, 2024, 8:16pm

At least he didn’t got killed…
First a Goat then a person and in my local airport rabbits.

Wildlife runway incursions are surprisingly common. So much so at some airports near habitats like rivers/lakes that it’s a permenant addition in their NOTAMs and even weather OBs.
