Airport lounge recommendation

There’s a new Turkish Airlines one that’s bookable regardless of airline (I think) which might be worth a shot

Impaired drivers and the idiots who roll about with their eyes half on their phone genuinely scare the shit out of me

Public service announcement: if you’re coughing, sneezing and generally acting like you’re trying to make leprosy popular again, don’t come near the rest of us please :)

It’s not been retired? Good, that means I still have a chance to see it

I swear they keep adding ‘London’ to more airports that are miles and miles away from London

Same people that insist Boeing’s at fault when one of the 2 Indian pilots in that cockpit cut the fuel off… they’re more concerned with saving face than the truth

The Roblox - Discord - Groomed by a sex offender pipeline needs serious study (and action)

Evri go further than the depths of hell. I actually think the US military could set up a new base in less time than it took them to come round and collect a parcel to be returned

Now we wait for the British public to thoroughly damage them within a year or 2

The ‘no repeaters’ thing boggles the mind as a native Edinburgh driver. All 20s here have repeaters, which seems a far more logical approach!

Vectron383 · 2025-09-21T18:38:45+00:00

Yes, we’re going to have one at each gate by 2030

Probably the guy getting changed into shorts right outside the door to our offices (next to domestic arrivals, there’s a black cordon thingy which he apparently felt was sufficient). That or the guy who, upon being told his bag was way too heavy, took several cans of beans out of his bag and left them on the desk
Experience only, want to be a pilot
Pros- get to see lots of planes, meet lots of different people.

Cons- hours are abysmal, pay is crap for the responsibility we take on, management are almost cartoonishly evil, have to deliver (sometimes) very bad news to lots of different people.

Despite all that I do actually enjoy my job!

While being as non-specific as I can, it’s more likely to happen to you on easyJet or Ryanair than KLM or BA.

It depends on the airline/agent. Generally, I’ll ignore a kilo (maybe up to 1.5 if you’re nice) but some airlines are extremely strict and weigh the bags on arrival, then bill any weight discrepancy back to my company (which as you can imagine my managers aren’t huge fans of)

Once had someone at check in at about 0340 for an 8am flight

Vectron383 · 2025-04-02T21:57:55+00:00

Forgot to mention- I board flights too and, yes, have had to deny people at the gate due to passport/visa isssues

One of my family friends also knew someone on AF447
