When we reached our aircraft, we were the first batch to board so that gave me a chance to explore the cabin. Anyway, once I settled down, the cabin crew came to distribute the menu and also an amenity kit. Once all the passengers settled down and the crew completed the pre-departure checklists, we were on our way.

This time, both of the engines were started after pushed back so no PTU (Power Transfer Unit) - 'barking' noise was heard during our taxi to the runway. It took a while before the seatbelt sign was turned off and the crew started preparing for in-flight service. The 2 hours flight in this cabin was certainly comfortable.

My cabin luggage was able to fit in but it is better to have the handle of the baggage facing you to optimise space. My in-flight experience We boarded with the cabin crew welcoming us. On final approach to LHR runway 27 Left. It was certainly a great day for flying, the weather on route was excellent.

My in-flight Experience After boarding the aircraft, the purser standing near the door gave me a half hearted smile and one of the cabin crew (let's call her A) was loud, instructing the passengers like how a school teacher deals with his/her students. Unfortunately weather at Athens was not good, it was quite windy at that time.

This is the area of Rossio Santa Maria Maior The view is absolutely stunning especially in good weather. On the day of departure Even though we had plenty of time before our flight departure, we decided to head to the airport early as dragging our cabin baggage across the footpath was not ideal. Goodbye Lisbon, until next time!

Initially a woman sitting at the aisle seat was willing to change her seat with the wife (sitting a row behind me - middle seat) then after that the cabin crew came to assist and informed them that there was a vacant seat at the first row (no idea which seat it was). One thing I won't miss is the dreadful weather. Here we are!

Do remember to your place your reservation before the deadline of 24 hours before the flight of departure as it would give the kitchen crew some time to prepare your food before being delivered to the aircraft. The cabin crew on board will prepare your food before serving it to you. For my flight, these meals were the options.

Looking around the cabin, I noticed this set of cabin crew looked stress and I can understand as they were kept quite busy on this almost full flight. The weather on this day was better than I expect. The weather on this day was better than I expect. After the engines were stabilised, we taxied to runway 20C.

The cabin crew generally was nice and I interacted with one asking her what she thinks about this aircraft and from her response she wasn't enthusiastic about working on it and I can understand why. Just took off in this dreadful weather. The weather didn't look too bad. Once our aircraft pushed back, we were on our way.

The weather was cooling and it was a great day for walk. Once that was cleared, the cabin crew were released for duty. Like my previous flights, a set of crew would come around with a camera offering complimentary polaroid photos for the passengers and not surprisingly, they went past me. The weather looks great right?

The weather that day in Singapore was great and we took off smoothly into the friendly skies. The taxi to runway 20L seem to take forever. This is where my flight departed from. Time to board!

Once on board, I noticed a cabin crew was serving champagne on a plastic cup and was pleasantly surprised I was given one, I suppose because of the occasion (New Year's Day). Once we were on our way, we flew through a bit of turbulence but once the weather was better, the seat belt sign was turned off. That's a good idea!

Introduction I wasn't looking forward to going home as I thoroughly enjoyed myself in London especially the cooler weather and more exciting places to visit compared to my country. The cabin crew were great as they came around many times during the flight to serve water and of course the 2 meals we received.

The reason is that the nice cabin crew offered to move my seat mate which she accepted to the front so that she could get off as soon as she can to catch her connecting flight. During the flight, I used flightradar24 to check on the weather and our flight progress. Good weather sometimes give you beautiful view like this.

The cabin crew were waiting for us. However, he mentioned that there was turbulence along the way, not a surprise especially June to October period is usually the typhoon season and bad weather is quite common. I wonder whether was it because of the bad weather on route that caused us to push back late.

Simpler stations could only be used if the landing of the aircraft is automatic, which would require a fully autonomous aircraft system capability, even in unfavorable weather and terrain conditions. In case of incapacitation, the cabin crew will have to open the cockpit to help the flying pilot.

Airline operations stress teamwork between flight crew, cabin crew, and available external resources. Crew resource management is an area of emphasis in training and checking in airline operations. Flight schools associated with cadet programs integrate crew resource management into every facet of their training.

Gliders, for example, are not powered and therefore require favorable weather conditions to fly. Ultralights typically have a shorter range and lower altitude capability compared to other aircraft and are also more susceptible to weather conditions. They can also be used for flight training.

But, you’re thinking, wouldn’t the “welcome aboard” spiel by either the pilots or cabin crew have given things away? More than once… In 2013, a Southwest 737 destined for Branson, Missouri, instead ended up at a small general aviation field nearby, touching down on a runway less than four thousand feet long.

The crew's working area. What else I noted about this flight is the cabin crew made a birthday announcement wishing a 17 years old passenger, a happy birthday (I wonder whether she received anything from the crew - SQ does offer birthday cakes but you need to request in advance) and our first officer on this flight was a female.

The airport currently has 2 terminals in operation with a 3rd terminal currently being built and has 2 runways 05L/23R and 05R/23L, with a 3rd runway being built to manage the increased traffic once the new terminal starts operation. Look at the cabin ambiance, I am a definitely a fan of these colours. The view from my seat.

With 2 runways, (12L/30R and 12R/30L), both runways have sufficent runway length to be able to cope with the heaviest and biggest aircraft, the A380 and Boeing 747-8F. The cabin crew on this flight was certainly better than the previous flight, the ones I met in the lower deck were friendly and helpful.

It can be things you notice, habits of ATC, a routine that dispatch does, runways that get closed, weather habits at certain airports and so on. Talking to inflight or cabin crews in a way that is pleasant and encouraging. Data makes the world go round. The company desperately needs data, all kinds of it, good and bad.

The airport mayhave 2 runways (runway 14/32 and runway 09/27) but only one runway is in operation (09/27) and if this runway is in maintenance, the other runway will be in used. Therefore it is common for flight delays in departure and arrival especially if the weather is bad.
