Lockheed L-1011 TriStar

10 July 2024 Guest
An amazing aircraft way ahead of its time. Thanks to the decision to fit it with Rolls-Royce engines, about the same time it was a financial disaster. Had Lockheed chosen the GE-CF6 as McDonald Douglas did, it would have arrived on the market at about the same time the DC-10 did. The L-1011 was a luxury liner without design flaws. Sparing pilot error circumstances, it had a nearly perfect safety record. Poor engineering decisions (power-plant choice in this case) have been the demise of many aircraft designs that otherwise were promising moneymakers. DC-10 accidents cut their production by 3 or 4 years. A rush to be the first jumbo Tri-Jet led to horrendous design flaws and a large factor in the demise of McDonald Douglas. I loved the the old tri-jets...all of them, big and small.

Airbus A320

25 June 2024 Lorna
What a crappy configuration on air Canada C-FDGQ. Just install old fashioned church pews with a narrow bench. No bottom cushion, no lumbar support and the crappiest little head rests. 4 hours in this bird will test your patience. Even business class is sitting in seats from the old cars in 1920.

Boeing 707

01 April 2024 Guest
The Boeing 707 is a plane made by Boeing, the company that makes airplanes. It started flying in the late 1950s, which was a big deal for flying

Boeing 777-300

06 October 2023 Guest
Worse plane for passenger comfort. No room for the average adult. Seat cushion was so thin. You better have some padding or you will be hurting. Only 5 foot 2 inches and no legroom. Eating was a circus act especially if person in front of you has seat back. Food was terrible. Bring your own.

Fokker F27

08 April 2023 Matt Watson
I have memories of flying in this make of aircraft back in the 70s-80s when flying regional. I do believe they were a much better aircraft than the Mc Donnel DC3 with better performance powered with Rolls Royce Dart turboprop engines. However they were quite noisy. Seats were far better with more leg room than some of the smaller planes they use today such as the Jetstream 32 and the SAB 340. Over all a great classic.

Boeing 737-700

08 February 2022 Guest
I think it is a good aircraft but the 737 MAX ruined its reputation and since then, Boeing has gotten sloppy with their work. Merging with McDonald Douglas was a bad idea since they're the Walmart of aviation. the DC-10 literally explodes.

Airbus A300

Horrible aircraft. Flown by SAA domestically, which was just about acceptable, but also flown regionally to Mauritius at weekends. Totally substandard for international flights.

Boeing 737-900

06 October 2021 Guest
I work for an airline that uses this type aircraft. The two previous comments about temperature in the front are inaccurate. The temperature controls are on the flight deck and are broken down by zones. If it was hot in the front, it was because the setting was set that way. All you had to do was tell the flight attendant to have the pilot turn the temperature down. They could freeze you if they wanted to.

Airbus A319

02 December 2020 Gerald and Siamak
We flew two of their A319 planes first class August 2019 from PK to Irkutsk with a change in Khabarosk. We were tremendously impressed with nearly world-class service, food, legroom, plane interior, hot and cold washcloths, and everything on both flights. Would highly recommend the airline, at least the aircraft as haven't flown on their craft.

Irkut Yak-242/MS-21

28 August 2020 tengle
Irkut needs to up the range to at least 8000km or 4300nm if it is serious about competing with Boeing and Airbus.

Xian MA60

21 July 2020 Guest
Nepal Airlines bought 6 of this planes. Now after 4 years all of them are grounded. Because (according to the airline)- problems occurring too frequently, very slow after sale service and parts delivery, total new sets of pilots and technicians needed( too expensive), too high operational costs.

Airbus A220-300

28 July 2018 Guest MPM
This is a wonderful, state-of-the-art single-aisle, jetliner. It fits many market segments. It is superior to the E190-E2 and even the A319. Would it be possible to configure the A220-300 with 3 rows of 2x2 Business class seats, 36" pitch, plus 125 Y class seats, 32" pitch, for a total of 137 seats, plus 2 lavatories and 2 galleys ?? Just thinking........ Thanks.

Antonov An-24

26 April 2018 Guest
I lived in Egypt in the late 60's and this was the shuttle plane between Cairo and Alexandria. I made numerous trips with my dad who was an oilfield manager. The plane constantly vibrated and like the previous poster said, was extremely noisy. United Arab Airlines (now EgyptAir) also used this model to fly from Alexandria to Athens. I flew it once and with the longer distance the left engine was smoking by the time we landed. The flight attendant said this is normal. LMAO.

Yakovlev Yak-42

09 June 2017 Guest ASHFAQ ORAKZAI
I have traveled on YAK 42D on route Termez to Tashkent in 1989. Yak 42 is nice plane similar to boeing 737 but why it is powered by three engines it is not so big plane and second it should be designed as twin engine aircraft with engines mounted on wings

I just flew on the 737-800 with the cool interior upgrades. Although I am not a frequent flyer, the next time I do fly I will fly on the 800 class again. It is truly a fine flying experience!

Beechcraft 1900

Took a flight on this recently. Fun ride but a bit noisy. No cabin crew/service - just pilot and co-pilot. Very comfortable seats. Yes there is a toilet but obviously, no cabin service - but then the flight was only a little over 2 hours.

Flew this with Air Koryo in September 2015 and was very pleasantly surprised. Spacious, quiet and comfortable. (I'm 1,94m tall). From a passenger point of view I would say it stands up well to all competitors!

DHC-6 Twin Otter

28 May 2015 Guest
They are easier to glide because they don't have massive pods and blades. However, the wings aren't exactly optimized for gliding unless you find thermals (and that will help won't it?). However, the cabin is sweet.

Douglas DC-9

The DC-9 will forever be on the top of my list for the best airplane I've ever flown. I have flown on the -50 model quite often. Love everything about it. It's a very sturdy and dependable aircraft. Wish they would bring it back to Delta Airlines.

Fairchild Metro

31 December 2013 charlie good
Flew metros for many years operated by Berry Aviation between NASNI and San Clemente Island. Miserable aircraft, crawl in and out all hunched over, very loud, vibrates, very rough in any kind of weather. But always delivered us back and forth over water alive.

Boeing 747-8

18 April 2013 MX
I've had the opportunity to fly the 747-8 already twice in economy and there are several extremely disappointing features in how LH has handled the interior design and layout. First of all, the Toilet layout and size in Y class is a pure and utter disaster. It is strange to see a product that has been developed 20 years after the 777 (superb machine) with so many flaws. The toilets are small. I mean S M A L L. I am not a big person, but i can barely move in them, compared to the LH A340-600 or the 777 or even the normal 320/330/340/380 family the designers had a problem...a bad night, bad education, no inspiration or a really bad brief from LH. It is so bad that I will avoid flying the 747-8 in Y in the future! Beware if you have little children. The diaper changing table is a joke, laugh or insult! The size of it is ridiculous and was clearly designed by somebody who never handled a baby in their life. There is also not enough toilets for so many passengers. Overall, a major design disaster. What was the LH/BOEING team thinking I do not know. Clearly they did not have passenger comfort, privacy and all that goes in the "care for your customers" corner in mind. Maybe they wanted to put in two more rows of seats, who knows. But they failed miserably.

Evektor EV-55 Outback

05 March 2013 Guest
Comparatively, this plane is better than the CESSNA grand caravan which can seat a maximum of 14 passengers which cost almost 2 million us dollars.. How much does the Evektor EV-55 cost? It is like comparing an eclipse and a cessna mustang

This planes are not the most fuel efficient in the world, but surely there is no safer one. When about building aircrafts, russians seem to care about flight safety much more than americans or westerners.
