A quick hop, skip and a jump across the desert with @qatarairways this evening onboard one of its B777s. Excellent onboard service from a very friendly and efficient crew despite the short flight time #businesslife #travel #avgeek

Some years back almost every Sunday evening was spent in a @British_Airways lounge in @HeathrowAirport . Tonight, for the first time in a while I’m repeating the experience while still buzzing from the @NUFC result v Chelsea earlier #businesslife #travel #avgeek
When the UK gets it right - warm, sunny, and calm weather - it’s hard to beat. Despite holiday weekend staring today I just found a near-empty, dog friendly beach close to St. Ives. Mediterranean-like but much closer to home!

Homeward bound with @qatarairways after a week in Doha that delivered an unexpected twist and some important learning points #travel #avgeek #highlife
Up before the larks to hop across the pond on G-VIIC—an old @British_Airways friend that’s been at it for 28+ years. Unlike me, it’s had a couple of facelifts to stay fresh… I just rely on coffee and denial! #avgeek #travel #businesslife
Relatively young aircraft for tonight’s flight to Madrid and great to have a wide body #Airbus with long haul seating on this short sector. Friendly welcome from @Iberia crew, a good menu choice and we seem set for an on time departure 👍#businesslife #travel #avgeek
Morning
Wondering if any #avgeek friends can name the airport, not from an aerial view but from photo of this high demand food item in the @British_Airways lounge each time I visit. With my stick thin figure I resisted the temptation to taste even the smallest morsel of course #travel
Quick hop north to sort personal stuff, unusually Glasgow not Edinburgh bound due to availability. It’s getting a choppy ride from many customers right now (gold card folk) but kudos to the crew on BA1492 today. A comfortable on-time flight, friendly team and good service. Photo credit shown.
Great piece in @thetimes today highlighting the work of crews bravely battling adverse weather and degraded visbility to fight the Los Angeles wildfires in their @Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopters #respect #avgeeks #aviationnews bit.ly/3WpIhoR
Just home from Singapore, and kudos to @qatarairways and @British_Airways for a great journey! Qatar’s service, comfort, and amazing food set the bar very high, and BA rose to the challenge this time around. Two airlines, one flawless trip! 🙌 #travel #businesslife #avgeeks
When you land at @HeathrowAirport early doors on @British_Airways after 15hrs of travel and see the aircraft pull up to a remote parking stand with no buses yet in sight #busineslife #travel #avgeeks
Starting the work year a couple of days earlier than originally planned with an unusual (for me) nighttime departure out from @HeathrowAirport with @British_Airways. Flying south east for a change - it’s been a while #businesslife #travel #avgeek (not my photo)
After a stormy, soggy weekend of overthinking (and damp socks), I’ve decided that Sunday evenings are officially cancelled as a source of stress. From now on, I’ll look forward to work weeks so good, even Monday mornings won’t ruin them! #SundayThoughts #BringItOn
Whenever I’m travelling at this particular time of year I’m reminded of a certain movie that may be one huge overdose of cheese but still makes me laugh out loud today. Can relate to so much of it, except this scene I’m pleased to say #avgeek #travel #businesslife
Spent so much time working with the fabulous #Gripen team I will always have a soft spot for the type. Great looking aircraft that always reminded me of the Hawker Hunter for some reason!
I'll join the crowd with a return to #wingfriday and post this stunning shot which is slightly different to the norm. Not my photo and credit to Slawomir Koziol whose work this is. I've spent a lot of time working with the Polish Air Force and this pic does it proud. Have a great weekend folks.
Excellent - only managed two flights on a B707 flying on holiday to AGP from LGW and back on this British Airways subsidiary (photo not mine credit to photographer). By this time they type was well on its way to retirement and sadly the opportunity didn't come around again.
Over breakfast, I was thinking of my first ever flight—from Abbotsinch (now GLA) to Palma. Mum, of course, got us new outfits for the flight (ugh) and 9-year-old me fully panicked during the climb convinced both rear engines had cut out when the pilot reduced power! What’s your first flying memory?
Did you know that the past 12 months was the safest yet for flying, with IATA reporting no fatal accidents or hull losses for passenger jets. Global aviation safety seems to have hit a new high. What’s contributed most to this incredible milestone achievement #Aviation #Travel #Safety
First post should have said I'm new to this platform and pleased to have joined it. Hearing it's a corner of the social media space where people aren’t arguing with or criticizing each other like it’s a sport. Looking forward to seeing how this platform and its community grows - #BlueskySocial
Today in Bucharest I was proud to witness #Romania become the 13th European nation to order F-35s (32). A key step in its air force modernisation the F-35 will boost Romania's interoperability with European and NATO allies to counter evolving threats for decades to come. #WeAreNATO #ROAirForce
