Isn't that what FR24 does, when you click on an aircraft symbol?
True, but can you remember a full seven hour flight. Minute by minute?

FlightRadar24 seems the quicker of the two as well.

Ohhh ... Looks fun!
Didn't know I was a planespotter, until I discovered flightradar24 :ohmy:. It's full of useful information. For instance, did you know that since your A380 (A6-EES) dropped you in Dubai on Sunday, it has been to Bangkok, back to Dubai; Jeddah and back to Dubai; to Hong Kong and almost back at Dubai again. These modern aircraft put in a lot of hours!

Blimey .... You need to get out more often, have you thought of taking up cycling? :okay:

My top tip for tomorrow is EK29 departing DBX at 0940, it's time to come home ....


There's a ship version as well ....

The boredom of semi employment and rainy days :laugh:. Anyway it's easy - just click on the reg. number of any plane and it gives its flight history for the previous 10 days or so.
Ships? They move too slow and there aren't enough of them. Used to work on them, but that was back in the day when ship movements and schedules were actually interesting.
My top tip for tomorrow is that you do NOT go to DBX airport or you will miss your flight. Best go to DXB ;).

Only flown on an A380 once. I was booked Guangzhou - Beijing (change plane) - Amsterdam. Got my confirmation .... A380 Guangzhou - Beijing (it's about 3.5 hours) ....in 1st class!

Wow, I started to imagine the suite, the pampering, the Krug the lobster bisque...

Got on in Guangzhou....to find that there were three classes onboard, Standard Economy, First and "Premium First".

No suite. No Krug. No lobster bisque. Business class (which is what China Southern's 1st class was) was jolly nice mind you
