So I submitted a claim with LH; 100% of my toilette's will be covered and 50% for clothing. Pretty easy process. And I was told I was suppose to get 100 euros on the spot at the airport to cover necessary items like toilette's which they might credit as well.

Hondaracer 09-05-2014 10:12 PM

so how much $ in total value?

Harvey Specter 09-07-2014 10:26 AM

I'm claiming around $1,000 because my wife had a few things in the bag she needed to replace.

Harvey Specter 09-08-2014 10:05 PM

Heading to NYC on Thursday for 2 days. Flying Cathay, couldn't get J going to JFK but coming back I could so I get a chance to experience premium eco which imo is prefect for a 4 hour flight.

PEY on CX is the economy class from 10 years ago. not worth the money

Today is one of those days that go go actually works.

Currently flying somewhere near Florida.

Harvey Specter 09-16-2014 04:43 PM

Booked the following. Reason for going through Dallas one way is to experience the A380. Decided againist coming through Dallas on the way back because I doubt I'll be in the mood to fly and sit around for 8 hours back to YVR.

Bet you've never seen paint like this before. 650+ hours of air brush time.

is there anyone here with a PPL in Canada? Just wanted to ask how difficult the PSTAR Exam is and where to get study material from. I'm planning to get my PPL here...

Hehe 09-26-2014 05:54 PM

Scheduled to fly on LH 747-400. Sadly it's old configuration on both legs that I'm flying. :(

But it got on-board wifi. I will post some pics when I'm on there! :)

Hehe 10-01-2014 08:05 PM

I'm posting live somewhere on Atlantic Ocean.

The Flynet is working shockingly well.

I did a speedtest and got a very respectable 6.xMbps... although the ping was 6xxms and a pity 0.5mbps upload. But all in all... working very stable.

LH's old business class turned out worse than I imagined. The angled seat is actually quite far away from 180 flat. So I kept sliding down while sleeping.

Good thing is I picked 1H, which has extra legroom. And with 1K empty... I'm enjoying my little space here

Here's the question bank. Read over them all, there shouldn't be more than a handful that you don't know the answer to. I do remember some weird, obscure ones...

Thanks. I guess it's ICAO anyways so it shouldn't be too different from Australia and Hong Kong? I looked at the requirements to get a PPL issued on my foreign license and it looks like all I have to do is 5 circuits...

Harvey Specter 10-22-2014 01:18 AM

Supposedly AI decided to strip down basically a new 787 for parts because their broke :facepalm: What a sad sad sight.

I don't get it how would they guessed that they were stripping it for parts. Isn't it simpler to just sell the aircraft?

It's pretty much new as far as an airplane goes. It would fetch way more money whole rather than parts.

Harvey Specter 10-22-2014 02:46 PM

You never know what's going on with AI, here's the condition of a 3 month old 787...

On a side note, just picked my seats for my trip to Dubai/Male and seems like I got stuck with the same seats for 3 out of 4 flights but a lot of pickings for the a380 leg.

CX New Product as part of their new "direction"
Spoiler!

Thought you guys might appreciate this as much as I enjoyed sitting through it

Teriyaki 10-26-2014 10:55 PM

Not quite sure what i'm looking at here. What equipment was this on? I haven't heard of anything regarding seat changes from CX on their brand refreash.

Just go through the question bank that others have already posted. Everything from the PSTAR is from the TC question bank.
