The Royal Wedding Trip

Hi All!

I am still away on the Royal Wedding trip but all went well. It was a fantastic day and I have lots to write about when I eventually get home. I am on my way back to Australia now for my sisters wedding so once that is all over expect a steady flow of blog posts to hit the page!

Cheers

    As a new follower I'm LOVING catching up on your previous blog entries! You seem to enjoy the bits of travel that I also enjoy and other seem to overlook - amenity kits, seat configuration/ selection, lounge meals/drinks (I'm a champagne lover too) and repeating the meals/drinks experience once on board, toiletries in the bathrooms etc. I also don't mind delays and am VERY happy to settle back in a comfortable lounge and do some more snacking and drinking. Keep up the great work mate.

Turkish Airlines Business Class : TK65 Bangkok to Istanbul on the A330-200

Turkish Airlines has been rapidly expanding in recent years and now has a huge worldwide route network that rivals that of the big middle eastern carriers. I had heard good things about the airline so I decided to give them a go and visit Istanbul for the first time. The flight I am reviewing today is TK65, the daytime service from Bangkok to Istanbul. When I booked it was scheduled to be on an Airbus A330-300 with the latest business class product. Unfortunately when I went on Flightradar24 the night before the flight to see which aircraft had left Istanbul to operate the service I found out my flight had been swapped to the smaller A330-200.  I suppose the fact that there was a military coup with strict curfews in place in Bangkok at the time meant that the flight would be lightly loaded but unfortunately it meant I would be stuck in the older and much less exciting angled lie flats for the 10 hour journey. Disappointing but there was nothing I could do about it. Turkish

A Ride On A 'Classic' - The Double Bogey A320 With Air India

Here's a look at another flight I took on my trip around India from November 2016. This flight was from the beautiful town of Udaipur to the metropolis of Mumbai. I booked it with Air India since their price was hard to beat and the timing suited me too. Originally this was scheduled to be flown with a fairly new A319 but a couple of weeks before departure the timing was changed slightly and the equipment swapped to an A320. Knowing that it was going to be an A320 I was aware there was a chance I might fly on a very rare beast, the double bogey model A320. I believe only 31 of these were ever produced and there is less than 20 still in operation. They were ordered new by Indian Airlines to operate on the rather poor airstrips that were around India in the late 80s and early 90s and were eventually inherited by Air India. By now the runways have been replaced but the double bogey aircraft are still flying around, but I can't imagine for too much longer as they are becoming
