It just turned midnight and @SAS officially joined @skyteam. Somehow I’m impressed that my frequent flyer card changed from @staralliance Gold on the dot!

Today I am flying to @HeathrowAirport with @lufthansa for the @FIAFarnborough. My plane today is D-AINF, the same plane that last flew me to Heathrow.
On a LuftBaltic (or airHansa?) flight from Munich to Bilbao! Lufthansa is wet-leasing several Airbus A220s from @Gaussm’s @airBaltic to support its summer operations.

I recently got the chance to sit down with Gareth Rogers, CEO at @FIAFarnborough to talk all things airshow including the heat, aerobic displays, and the order outlook. Check it out on @simple_flying here: simpleflying.com/video/inter…

Every now and again I get to escape the office on the hunt for engaging content for @simple_flying readers. Today took me to #GICInternationalCatering to take a look at what goes into making meals for @airastana. Here’s a sneak peek, with a full report coming soon!

Was super excited when we taxied to gate A14 at @Airpor_FRA, knowing it’s one of the closest to the terminal. Less excited to know that for some reason we’re not using the jetbridge, and have been waiting onboard now 20 minutes for a bus… 🥲
So the pilot told us that because the jet bridge was broken it was @Airport_FRA’s job to sort a bus out, but the didn’t. This meant it took us almost 40 minutes from arriving on stand right stepping foot in the terminal 🥲
Excited to be heading to Munich today!
Content Manager @thomas_boon here! Follow along as we head to @MUC_Airport to see @lufthansa’s new Allegris cabin on an aircraft! First stop, the #SenatorLounge. You can read my previous review of the facility here: simpleflying.com/lufthansa-s…

While flying during the eclipse will be a unique experience, you will not be able to log night time. You'll need to wait until official night to log those 3 minutes. 😎 Check NOTAMs and fly safe!
Hey @FAANews, can you log night time while flying through the area of totality today? Inquiring minds want to know
Can’t wait to move into the new @simple_flying office space! simpleflying.com/simple-flyi…
The new @traveloneworld lounge at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is now officially open! Congratulations 🥳
ALT Senior employees of oneworld and its member airlines cut a blue ribbon outside the entrance to the new oneworld lounge at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
Off to… Amsterdam with @British_Airways! Why? There’s a clue in the picture 🤫 #LondonHeathrowAirport #AmsterdamSchipholAirport

In case anybody is wondering how bad the German security strikes will be tomorrow, here is a picture of the Cologne Airport departure board! #germanairports #securitystrike #cologneairport #cgn
You’ve got to praise @BluebridgeFerry for having the nerve to play the Grinch movies back to back in the onboard cinema on a four hour ferry crossing. 🤣

Today’s @Ryanair flight delay reason:
Missing equipment from first aid kit.
10/10 for an excuse I’ve not heard before 🎉 but who noticed this on the first flight of the day, and if it’s due to previous use, why was it not replaced overnight? 🤔
