It is always cool to see some personal information relating to certain currently active [Infinite Flight Community] (https://community.infiniteflight.com/) members!

First of all, of course my favorite seat is the window seat. Any avgeeks would prefer the window seat over another seat.😂😂

Usually when I fly, I make sure to get to the airport 1hr to 2hrs early. Never want to risk it lol. After I pass through security, I enjoy walking around the terminal (especially at Denver). Just like described above, I like to look at the different planes that is around and take pictures of them.

When I get off the flight, I want to see the cockpit but never have the guts to ask :)

I just get an upgrade from economy to extra leg room because the airlines I fly with (b6 primarily) don’t overbook, so it’s a free or little cost upgrade :).

I’m traveling next Saturday to Panama with American Airlines. I booked the flight for first class about a month and a half ago, lol.

I’m flying Virgin Atlantic LAX-LHR in December and we booked the flight in February. The best part was we got 4 round trip premium economy seats for roughly 4,000 USD. Which was amazing. Must of been a glitch or something.

Booking flights early is always cheaper. My family booked flights from Taipei to Johannesburg with SIA and they weren’t expensive. Our premium economy China Airlines tickets to Amsterdam were also cheap, cheaper than KLM economy comfort.

The thing is we booked it through delta on virgin but on virgins website it displayed it as 10,000 USD for the exact same route, aircraft, date, and times.😀

You know you can edit your post instead of deleting it and writing it again, right? I see you’ve done that a few times ;).

I think my IPad has a glitch or the community because I go to reply but it doesn’t reply so I delete it then it says it replyed to it.

Maybe they were secretly giving tickets away for more than 50% off…
Who knows.

Do you prefer to get parked at gate or get parked at the remote?

  • Parked in a gate and go directly to the immigration/transit area
  • Parked in remote parkings - and take a bus to the terminal and take some shots of aircrafts

After security, I head to the lounge, which is usually right above the tarmac, so you get excellent pictures!

I’m forced to go straight out of the plane and to immigration because my parents always race there 😑
