I had a friend on that flight! He said:

I think they're making us wait because United Airlines and British Customs won't know what to do with us, or where to send us after we land again.
I think this will be a 48 hour journey."

Here's a screen shot of them dumping fuel...

Calgary Police had their Twitter day today where they tweet about all the calls they attend throughout the day, and they included this:



HAWCS has some really fancy video game type stuff going on with its cameras.

So I get to fly a Dreamliner in like 3 weeks - any suggestions on what I should plan for, other than looking at the wing flex and playing with the windows?

Think of all the ways you can rub getting to fly one before me in my face.

Personally I would concentrate more so on flying the plane... but that's just me

Hey WestJetters,

I know you can check-in 24 hours before departure, how early can you check your baggage? Is it also 24 hours?

Industry standard is usually 3.
