First Chinese Airline Launches Iceland Flights

Ben Schlappig — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:19:29 +0000

Chinese airlines have been growing like crazy in the past few years, and have been adding all kinds of routes. In many ways it's surprising that no Chinese airline has flown to Iceland yet, though there have been rumors for a while of that changing... and now it's official. Juneyao Airlines has announced that they'll…

What Is Going On With Air Tanzania's 787?!

Ben Schlappig — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:16:48 +0000

Unfortunately I don't have any insights here, but rather I'd just like to express my continued confusion. Air Tanzania has what I'd like to think is the most interesting aircraft delivery of 2018. This small airline previously only had turboprops, but this July they took delivery of a Boeing 787, with the registration code 5H-TCG.…

An Adorable, Must-Read Review Of Air Tanzania's 787

Ben Schlappig — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:16:07 +0000

Air Tanzania recently took delivery of a Boeing 787, which is a big move for the airline, given that they previously just had turboprops. The airline is presently using the 787 to operate domestic flights within Tanzania, but soon hopes to fly the 787 to Mumbai and Guangzhou. I'll be curious to see when that…

Air Tanzania Takes Delivery Of Their New Boeing 787

Ben Schlappig — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:15:57 +0000

Air Tanzania must have one of the most interesting aircraft deliveries of the year. The airline previously had a fleet of just three turboprop aircraft, and this year is taking delivery of a Boeing 787. That's quite a radical fleet upgrade. I've written about Air Tanzania's plans before, and about how they intend to take…

Details Emerge About Air Tanzania's Fascinating New 787

There are a lot of plane deliveries this year that I'm excited about, like Oman Air's 787 with first class, Gulf Air's 787, Singapore Airlines' 787-10, and Singapore Airlines' A350-900ULR, just to name a few. However, to me there's one aircraft order that stands out, that I've been tracking closely and have been very curious…

Review: Royal Brunei Lounge Bandar Seri Begawan

Ben Schlappig — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:12:07 +0000

I got to Bandar Seri Begawan Airport at around 5PM for my 8:35PM flight to Dubai. Brunei's Airport is small and beautiful, easily one of the most passenger friendly airports out there. A vast majority of passengers using the airport seem to be transiting rather than originating in Brunei, meaning that security and immigration are…

Review: Royal Brunei Business Class 787 Bandar Seri Begawan To Dubai

Ben Schlappig — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:12:07 +0000

I boarded through door L2, where I was escorted to my seat by one of the flight attendants. Royal Brunei's 787 business class cabin consists of a total of 18 seats, spread across three rows in a 2-2-2 configuration. This is a pretty standard fully flat business class configuration, similar to what you'll find on…

What's More Exhausting: Shorthaul Or Longhaul Travel?

Ben Schlappig — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:11:33 +0000

A couple of days ago I mentioned the following in a post in passing: "I’m constantly on the road (or in the air, I suppose), and nowadays a majority of my flying is longhaul. While I fly 400,000+ miles per year, I don’t actually fly that many segments, at least proportionally. That’s a blessing, because…
