Thread: Flying LH, YV, UA, And Unexpectedly, KL

Quoting TheGov ( Reply 20 ): I agree with this 100%. While its been 15 years since I worked for an airline, please allow me to go into a little more detail based upon what Prinair has stated. I suspect that the UA agent told you the truth as he saw it. When he confirmed you, once he ended the PNR he would have gotten an HK (holds confirmed) in the status line of the flight segment (pretty much an automatic response between res systems). But,...

Quoting FlyingFinn76 ( Reply 14 ): Did you even think taking the train home from CDG ? You could've ridden the TGV up to Brussels and changed there, I reckon it would've still been speedier than your wait. But of course if your "next" flight was always only an hour or so away you didn't really anticipate your wait to be that long. I think the TGV's last moments tickeets are so expensive those 7 hours don't...

The AF system probably oversold the AF flight and never sent any type of PN (Pending), HL (Holding List), UN (Unable to confirm) or LL (Listed on standby) message into the Apollo PNR. The UA agents would not be aware of any oversales on the AF side as technically the space is HK (confirmed) and at the bottom of their Apollo PNR they would still see a record locator sent back by AF meaning a PNR has been created on the AF side. There is no...

Hi Martijn, great report about an interesting tour. Too bad you had to wait so long at CDG . Quoting CrimsonNL ( Thread starter ): After that the lunch was either chicken, or bratwurst and sauerkraut (at least they are keeping it real Wink ) I opted for the first choice and it was surprisingly good! My dad had the second and said it reminded him of the food he used to get at german army bases while training there hehe. The best part about the...

That was a great TR ! Well done. Great pictures! I hope to fly on LH one day soon!!! That was unacceptable from UA though

Hi, A very nice report of an interesting trip to the US. I for one would've liked to see some more destination photos as well, but the ones here are very good as well. Congratulations on the VDB , are those UA vouchers exchangeable for cash at half of their face value? Most of the European vouchers are. Did you even think taking the train home from CDG ? You could've ridden the TGV up to Brussels and changed there, I reckon it...

Hey, Martijn, what a nice read. And you definitely done a great airline/aircraft compilation. Also when its not every leg from your own decision!. Thanx for all that activity pics around you´re journey. I love that US museums with all that historic machine´s. Regards, Markus (FLIEGER67)

Great report, Martijn! Interesting how UA did not get you on the flight... Typical UA ... Again, fantastic rep, lots of pictures! Axel

Quoting CrimsonNL ( Thread starter ): The take-off roll seemed never ending, if I timed correctly about 50 seconds! That sounds about right. I counted about 45 seconds on my UA 744 SYD - LAX take-off roll. It sure does seem like a long time when counting 45 seconds sitting in my living room! Great pics, especially the beautiful KLM 744 and those brats are making my mouth water! Thanks for the great report, I loved reading about your...

Quoting CrimsonNL ( Thread starter ): I did have a PTV, but no AVOD. This basically included that you can select 10 channels where movies are on a loop, its sort of like a regular TV , you can choose channels, but not what is on. That's weird. I thought all 'modern' carriers had AVOD for a long time. Great TR though!
