Alexander Thomas+FollowInside the World’s Longest Flight!Ever wondered what it’s like to spend 19 hours straight on a plane?

Think lie-flat beds in business class, premium economy perks, and only two fare classes for max comfort. The crew preps for a nearly day-long journey—would you splurge for business or tough it out in premium economy? #Travel #TravelGoals #Aviation2410Share
Danielle White+FollowWhy Planes Aren’t Getting Any FasterEver wondered why your flight still takes as long as it did in the ‘60s? Turns out, airlines are sticking to the same speeds because it’s way more fuel-efficient (and cheaper for them). Supersonic jets like the Concorde were cool but guzzled fuel like crazy. So, we’re all stuck with budget seats and slow-ish planes, just so airlines can save some cash. Who knew flying faster just wasn’t worth it? #News #AirTravel #Aviation148Share

darrell47+FollowThis Airport Is Basically a Small CitySaudi Arabia is building an airport so massive, it’s the size of 14,000 football fields and costs a wild $30 billion. The King Salman International Airport in Riyadh will have six runways, a luxury terminal, and enough shopping to make your head spin. By 2030, it’s set to handle 120 million travelers a year—and could hit 185 million by 2050. Oh, and there’s a cube-shaped building nearby that could fit 20 Empire State Buildings inside. Mind blown? Same. #News #SaudiArabia #Aviation00Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowWould You Fly on a 45-Year-Old Jet?Here’s a wild one for your next coffee break: there’s a Boeing 737 in Venezuela that’s been flying passengers for over 45 years! While Boeing’s newer models are stuck in red tape, some airlines are sticking with these vintage planes. The twist? Older jets like this one can land on gravel runways—perfect for remote spots. But with spare parts running out, this flying relic might not be around much longer. Would you board a plane older than you? #Business #Industry #Aviation00Share

Now that’s impact you can feel. #Business #Industry #Aviation00Share
Justin Dixon+FollowWhy Southwest Won’t Fly to CanadaDid you know Southwest Airlines has never flown to Canada? Seriously, they hit up places like Mexico, Jamaica, and even Hawaii, but Canada’s a no-go. Turns out, it’s not just about the cold—high airport taxes, their unique point-to-point flight system, and no ground partners up north make it a no-brainer for them to skip it. Maybe that’ll change someday, but for now, you’ll need another airline for your poutine fix! #Travel #TravelNews #Aviation1712Share
