Just like driving. The plane will stop at a regional airport and everyone gets out and stretches their legs.

Not what happened when I was on a flight from Rio to NY. Lap dog on the floor of the seat behind me, allegedly only did its stuff on a sheet on the floor, but I had to endure the smell on a very long non stop flight.

Be interested to see how they work it. Iā€™m not a fan personally but understand that many love the idea. Will only be a limited amount of seats on a limited amount of flights because from what I hear close to 90% of airports in Australia have pets as banned and most are not willing to change that so it might only be a select few destinations

I look forward to wondering if the pilots are still awake as a new passing thought on my next flight.

This isnā€™t great. We have flown Batik Air before, my wife usually flies with them.

Lion Air group are one of the worst and personally although Iā€™ve flown with them itā€™s usually down to necessity. Some countries still give travel warnings about them and at several times the Australian government has even prohibited staff or contractors from flying with them

Over the years we would have temporary travel bans on different airlines. I can recall one on a Philippines airline and Garuda, then OK for Garuda international, but not internal.
Some airlines were on perma bans.
The bans were never made public.

You canā€™t park there!

A flight coming into Auckland from Australia is understood to have experienced a sudden drop in altitude, leaving about two dozen people injured.

Emergency services rushed to Auckland Airport on Monday after the Latam flight had what the airline called a ā€œtechnical problemā€ which ā€œcaused a strong movementā€.
