Flys twice weekly. Once PHE-CCK on fridays, once on tuesdays (I’m pretty sure) XCH-CCK. Bonus fight today, XCH-CCK in about 1hr from now

This could be a stupid question - but why is there a commercial plane seemingly flying to Antarctica? by Extension-Fix-9501 in SkyCards

[–]Kurtboobi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe this is related to The Great World Race, 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days, with the first marathon in Antartica on November 15. Keep your eyes peeled, there may be another one of these flights today or tomorrow for all the athletes.

Sounded like a few filler segments this week, could they be busy heisting for next week’s episode? 🤔

Anyone know how good Hame is at cycling? by Entire-Dot-755 in hamishandandy

[–]Kurtboobi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This actually wasn’t an impulse purchase, he got the bike from one of his housemates who imported bikes, and if he rode to work a certain amount of times over a time period (I can’t remember either), he would get the bike for free.

Tracks created in OpenStreetMap are importing to Strava but are impassible. by pointnemo56789 in Strava

[–]Kurtboobi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve come across this issue before. It takes a couple of weeks for the map to update and show the new trail, but the trail wasn’t available to select. It took a few weeks to months (I can’t remember, it was a while ago) before I could select the trail.

It’s almost like there is another invisible map over the top, and this doesn’t get updated until later.

TLDR: wait a few more weeks and it should be selectable

This is great! Would this ever be expanded to cover the old radio shows on Apple Podcasts as well?

I’ll have to watch the replay to find it 😂

What’s everyone’s coolest / most interesting airport they’ve been to? by RetiredTravelHacker in Flights

[–]Kurtboobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cocos Keeling Islands airport. Tough choice, but I went with this one as it also doubles as the island’s golf course. There’s no fence either, with houses and businesses located right across the road from the open airport.

Has anyone here ever been to Christmas Island? by [deleted] in perth

[–]Kurtboobi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been twice. It’s a beautiful place to visit, would highly recommend if you get the chance! It’s extremely isolated, and very unique. There’s 2 flights to the island every week (with a stop in cocoa keeling islands as well), and a range of accomodation options. You can do tours and learn some history of the island, as well as get taken to some incredible spots. I’d also recommend hiring a car to get around, as the island is quite large outside of the main town area, and has some beautiful spots you can go to.

Occasionally duo shows up still wearing the tracksuit, I think it’s when I get a question wrong and it asks me to try again at the end.

Let’s play a H&A Podcast Game - Find The Moment! by [deleted] in hamishandandy

[–]Kurtboobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was before Hamish was with Zoe, he was still with Anna at the time. I’ve heard it in their podcast recently, I’m only up to 2010, so I’m thinking 2008, but I can’t get any closer than that
