I am always shocked at how people have to put their bare feet up in planes. It’s absolutely disgusting and they have no respect for anyone else.

As a huge aviation fan, my fav part of this trip was seeing that A340 in such a remote and icy world. You just don't see that every day. I would have loved to have watched the takeoff and landing from the ground. One of the awesome things about modern aviation is that humans can (if they have the money, of course) travel from Antarctica to the Maldives (essentially, two completely different worlds) in a matter of hours. Amazing.

@theresarossouw1637 Жыл бұрын

My thoughts exactly...would have loved to see the take-off from the outside. Loved this though...

@Kev376 Жыл бұрын

Seriously can't believe they brought out an A340 for like 12 people lol. If they were doing a private flight like that they should be using something like a G650 or if they really wanted more than 2 engines maybe a Falcon 7x.

@Republic3D 7 ай бұрын

@@Kev376Seems like a lot more than 12 people with all the scientists and staff. I'd feel safer in an A340-300 than in a Gulfstream or Falcon.

It was a particular treat to have Andrew as our special guest guide--he took the time to read our comments and responded to many of them. I had to laugh a bit at you showing us the accoutrements on a plane formerly owned by Emirates--of course you already knew how all the features worked in your seating area. A thousand thank-yous for sharing the gift of travel to places near and far.

@canadajointops Жыл бұрын

I really love the look of the plane, I read online that they needed to carry enough fuel to cover each leg since there are no ground facilities. So they had to land at maximum landing weight. Plus they would have 4 engine redundancy incase something went wrong.
