It has been a canard of the Left that “words matter.” We are lectured that “hate speech” leads inevitably to street violence.
So how ironic that the Left defames nearly half of America as dangerous “semi-fascist” extremists, white-raged and privileged, ultra MAGA, and guilty of all sorts of thought crimes from secession to civil insurrection? And what is the result?
Does this constant demonization matter? And what are the bitter fruits of such labors? After all, what did Barack Obama long ago mean by “clingers” or once Hillary Clinton by “deplorables” and “irredeemables”?
What did Joe Biden imply by “dregs” and “chumps” and “semi-fascists”? Or what did the FBI lovebirds really mean by smelly Walmart goers and “hillbillies”? After a point, did not America get this monotonous message?
And what does Joe Biden really mean when he recycles his academic advisors’ tired tropes of right-wing insurrectionists threatening the republic?
MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. . . . MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards—backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love . . . They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country . . . MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.
When the president fuels the now familiar old narrative by claiming that 75 million who voted for Donald Trump do not live in the “light of truth” but in the “shadow of lies,” and they do not follow “the rule of law,” some questions naturally arise.
First, what evidence does the president adduce to prove that 75 million Morlocks in the shadows are liars and avoid the “light of truth” of the Eloi? By what criteria does he use to judge them “semi-fascists”?
Is his proof the 120 days of violent looting, arson, violence, and death in the summer of 2020—virtually green-lighted by mayors, the media, and, yes, the current vice president? Who “fanned the flames of political violence” and were a “threat to the rule of law”?
Does Biden mean half the country is not respecting the Constitution by its systematic attack on our long-standing constitutional precepts, from the Electoral College and the rights of states to set voting laws? Are the “semi-fascists” trying to pack the Supreme Court? End the filibuster? Bring in two states solely to elect four left-wing senators?
Does the president mean the illegality of the often-rogue Washington-centric FBI, whose past director and legal counsel have lied to federal investigators and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court? Does he refer to himself who was enriched by the grifting efforts of his wayward son? Do semi-fascists brag that they got foreign state attorneys fired for looking into the shady dealings of their own family? Perhaps Biden was railing against scores of big-city state attorneys who systematically refuse to enforce the law, and so leave the innocent at the mercy of serially released criminal felons?
Second, what are Americans in the Old Testament/eye-for-an-eye, tooth-for-a-tooth Prophet Biden’s eyes to do with those miscreants?
What should America then do when half the country prefers to live in the “shadow of lies,” and rejects the “light of truth”?
Sic the FBI on them to monitor their speech at school board meetings? Hire 87,000 IRS agents to continue the Obama-era policies of weaponizing the IRS? Bring Lois Lerner out of retirement?
Put them in solitary confinement for “illegal parading”?
Keep them out of their capital by stringing barbed wire and militarizing it with 30,000 federal troops?
Draft the Democratic Party to work with the FBI in destroying a political candidate through false dossiers, paid informants, and concocted conspiracies?
Leg-irons for former Trump officials?
Performative FBI SWAT raids on their homes?
Government workers colluding with private companies to censor free speech and expression?
A new Ministry of Truth?
Who then is destroying the rule of law? Joe Biden, who violated his oath of office and nullified the entire corpus of federal immigration law, in 1850s fashion, and allowed 3 million illegally to enter his country?
Joe Biden, who by fiat illegally canceled an expected half-trillion dollars in student debt?
Joe Biden, who recalibrated the FBI into a first-family retrieval service of lost computers and diaries of his wayward children?
Or is the shadow-dweller who “does not respect the Constitution” none other than Hillary Clinton who hired two foreign nationals to compile dirt on her Republican opponents in hopes of warping an election, or the FBI who also hired both her paid fraudsters as FBI informants in efforts to aid the Clinton smear?
Is urging a candidate never to concede if he lost the popular vote or boasting of joining #TheResistance to an elected president whom she pronounced “illegitimate” anti-Constitutionalism? Or maybe destroying subpoenaed emails or destroying court-ordered evidence?
And who exactly are the merchants of racial hatred about whom we so often hear?
Is it the same Joe Biden who claimed Barack Obama was the first black presidential candidate who could speak intelligently? The same Joe Biden who screamed to a group of accomplished black professionals that Mitt Romney would put “y’all back in chains”? The same Biden who bragged that his heroic Southern segregationist senatorial colleagues never called him “boy”?
Or is it Joe the healer who called black media hosts “junkie” and “You ain’t black”?
Perhaps it’s the unifier Biden who spun racist Corn-Pop stories about how he had faced down criminal black gang leaders? Or the ecumenical Biden who called a senior African American aide “my senior advisor and boy”? Who boasted that young black children used to love to feel the golden hairs on his tan legs?
Or would Biden mean by racists none other than the current Democratic candidate for Senate in South Carolina, Krystle Matthews? She recently gushed that one must “treat white people like sh-t”?
Or was it Kelisa Wing, the Pentagon’s “Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at the Department of Defense Education Activity”? She in the past complained, “I’m exhausted with these white folx in these [professional development] sessions,” and “I am exhausted by 99% of the white men in education and 95% of the white women. Where can I get a break from white nonsense for a while.”
At one time, stereotyping millions as a toxic collective was the classic definition of racism.
Is Wing a target of what Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley promised when they boasted of scouring the Pentagon ranks to root out racism and racial rage?
Or maybe Biden was referring to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot?
She barred reporters from one-on-one interviews on the basis of race with the putdown, “By now, you may have heard the news that on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city, I will be exclusively providing one-on-one interviews with journalists of color.”
When Joe Biden talks about the supposed violent, racist, MAGA dwellers in darkness, does he produce data for his allegations? Are his proverbial white-male insurrectionists committing violent crimes at five times their numbers in the general population?
Do MAGA Midwesterners threaten Orthodox Jews in New York or Asians in San Francisco? What do statistics suggest about who is disproportionately committing these hate crimes that Biden would otherwise characterize as typical of those living in the shadows or in lies?
Are the MAGA voters swarming the homes of Supreme Court Justices? Are they running them out of restaurants? Are they mobbing at the doors of the Court to threaten justices by name, and warning that liberal justices won’t “know what hit you” as they justifiably “reap the whirlwind”?
Is Biden’s putatively dangerous Trump supporter out killing a teenager who, postmortem, is dubbed a political activist opponent; running down dozens at Christmas parades; threatening a U.S. senator and his wife as they exited the White House; or attempting to assassinate key members of Congress?
At the University of Oregon are white MAGA denizens in the “shadows of lies” screaming “F—k the Mormons” during football games, or plastering the Stanford campus with anti-Semitic posters of “Ben B Gone” bug spray to gin up violence to stop the implied Jewish insect Ben Shapiro from speaking?
We are reaching a critical juncture now in America.
Writing off half the population as irredeemable and deplorable or semi-fascists is not a sustainable proposition. And we can see how it is not.
Is the chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer at the Department of Defense relieved or worried that the army will not have enough white raging males to die in the next optional war in the Middle East at twice their percentages in the population? The Army has only met 50 percent of its annual recruiting target.
When Biden demonizes in now stereotypical fashion—and without data—an entire 75 million person demographic, when the popular culture has legitimized smearing these millions as dangerous “racists” fueled by “white rage,” and when the media manufactures a series of fake melodramas—from the Russian collusion hoax to the Russian disinformation use of his son’s laptop to the Jussie Smollett lie, the Covington kids slander, or the Duke lacrosse and volleyball mythologies—at some point is it any wonder that we are beginning to witness an epidemic of violence directed at the supposedly privileged, or the supposedly politically incorrect, whether targeting random solitary women for violent acts or purported conservatives or any demographic who are all apparently deserving such punishment due to their race or political beliefs?
Joe Biden’s “Phantom of the Opera” rant will be memorialized as the most reckless and venomous presidential speech in recent history. Such vile rhetoric fuels even viler reactions—and eventually filters down to the street where criminals believe that shooting a congressman or mobbing a Supreme Court justice or killing a solitary jogger or a teen-aged “Republican” is some sort of reification of what they feel is now acceptable retribution.
In sum, what we used to know as “hate speech” is now presidentially acceptable speech, and what has followed from it is no surprise.


US 4051636 A
For the purpose of grinding turbine and compressor blades to dimensions, a model blade and work piece are arranged one above the other in a support member which is supported on an air cushion to permit ease and freedom of motion in any direction, the model and work piece further being supported in the support means for simultaneous rotation about their respective longitudinal axes so that they can be brought against a grinding wheel and copy roll similarly disposed one above the other.
1. A method for grinding turbine and compressor blades to dimension comprising:
a. disposing, on a stationary base, a copier roller and grinding belt of equal diameter one above the other with their axes parallel;
b. supporting a model blade and a work piece blade in a work piece holder one above the other with their axes parallel to each other, said model blade and work piece blade being supported therein for simultaneous rotation about their axes;
c. supporting said work piece holder on an air cushion so that it is freely movable in any direction in the horizontal plane; and
d. bringing said model and work piece in contact with said copier roller and grinding belt.
2. The method of claim 1 and further including disposing the axes of the work piece and model in the same horizontal planes as the axes of the grinding belt and copier roller respectively.
3. Apparatus for grinding blades for turbines and compressors to dimension comprising:
a. A stationary tool holder;
b. a belt grinder rotatably disposed on said stationary tool holder;
c. a copier roller of the same diameter as said belt grinder rotatably disposed on said tool holder so as to be vertically spaced from said belt grinder with its axis parallel to the axis of said belt grinder;
d. a guide plate;
e. a work piece holder having a base plate disposed atop said guide plate, said work piece holder including means for supporting a model blade and a work piece such that they are simultaneously rotatable therein with their longitudinal axes parallel one on top of the other; and
f. means for establishing an air cushion between said guide plate and the base plate of said work piece holder whereby said work piece holder can be easily moved in any direction in the horizontal plane.
4. Apparatus according to claim 3 wherein the axes of said work piece and model lie in the same horizontal planes as the axes of said belt grinder and copier roller respectively.
5. Apparatus according to claim 3 wherein said means for supporting comprise two spaced vertical supports attached to said base plates at least one having holders for said work piece and model blade rotatably supported therein and means coupling said holders for simultaneous rotation.
As illustrated by FIG. 1, a belt grinder 2 and a copier wheel 3 are disposed on a stationary tool holder 1. The copier wheel and grinder 2 are disposed one above the other with their axes parallel. Both have the same diameter. The illustrated belt grinder 2 comprises a contact pulley 4 and drive pulley 5 over which an abrasive belt 6 is led under tension. The diameter of the contact pulley 4 and thickness of the abrasive belt 6 taken together result in a diameter exactly equal to that of the copier roller 3.
Disposed opposite the tool holder with the belt grinder and copier roller is the work piece holder 8. The work piece holder 8 is disposed on a base plate 10 which is supported on a table plate 7 by means of an air cushion. Shown on FIG. 3 is an air inlet 9 through which air is fed inside the plate 10 which contains a plurality of fine nozzles in its bottom to thereby build up an air cushion between the plates 10 and 7 so that the work piece holder 8 floats with small constant spacing above the plate 7.
As is more clearly illustrated on FIG. 2, the work piece holder 8 includes two vertical supports 11 and 12. Between these supports there is disposed, with their axes parallel to each other and in the same horizontal planes as the axes of the grinding wheel and copier wheel, a work piece 13 and a model 14. The model 14 can be, for example, a master blade. The work piece 13 is a blade for a turbine, compressor or the like which is to be machined so that its dimensions match exactly those of the model 14. Both the model 14 and work piece 13 are disposed between the vertical supports 11 and 12 so as to be rotatable about their axes. At the righthand ends on FIG. 2 they are held by holders 15 and 16 disposed for rotation in the vertical member 12. These supports 15 and 16 have shafts extending through the vertical support 12 and terminating in pulley wheels of equal diameter which are coupled together by a serrated belt 17 or the like. Coupled to the lower pulley is a hand wheel 18 to permit rotating, simultaneously, the model 14 and work piece 13. This motion corresponds to the conventional tangential feed motion in grinding. Because of the air cushion between the base plate 10 and the guide plate 7, the work piece holder 8 can be moved in the horizontal plane essentially without friction. This degree of freedom permits grinding compound curvature blades by setting the holder 8 at any direction relative to the copier roller 3 and thus setting the work piece in the same relative position to the abrasive belt 6. As is illustrated by FIG. 3, in which a second position 10' is shown in dotted lines, the grinding belt 6 will always be in line contact with the work piece. Thus, in addition to greater chip removal, a substantially improved surface is achieved with the method and apparatus of the present invention.
Even for the largest blade weights, the work piece and holder can still be guided by hand along the copy roller using the apparatus according to the present invention. The rotary feeding motion of the blade can be accomplished manually as well as through a motor drive. The first method permits intermittent grinding.
The essential advantages of this new method of grinding are that the entire contour of the blade can be ground independently of the skill of the operator and without interruptions that are otherwise necessary for dimensional checking. In addition, the copying system prevents undergrinding of tolerance in both twisted and untwisted blades. This results in a greater uniformity for the profile accuracy over an entire production lot. As a result, there is greater uniformity of blades with respect to thermodynamic and vibrational characteristics, particularly in maintaining a narrow bandwidth of resonance. With the method and apparatus of the present invention, the weight and size of the blades have no effect on the ability to accurately grind.
Thus, an improved method and apparatus for grinding turbine and compressor blades has been described. It should be noted that the method and apparatus of the present invention can be used not only for grinding blades of turbines and compressors accurately to a dimension, but is also useful in grinding other work pieces which have an asymmetric profile and cannot be machined with conventional stationary copying methods. These and other modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, which is intended to be limited solely by the appended claims.
FIG. 1 is an elevation view of the apparatus of the present invention in the operating position.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2 showing in dotted lines the manner in which the work piece holder can be reoriented to a different position.
This invention relates to the grinding of blades for turbines, compressors and the like in general and more particularly to an improved method and apparatus for carrying out such grinding.
In blades of this nature, the accuracy of the profile and quality of the surface are prerequisites for proper operation and optimum efficiency. Normally, great analytical and experimental effort is expended in developing blade profiles for given operating conditions. In addition to the aerodynamic and thermodynamic aspects of the blades, vibration and strength considerations such as a narrow bandwidth of resonance frequencies resulting from the profile or minimal notch effects place stringent requirements on the profile tolerance and surface roughness of the blades.
In order to insure that these requirements are met, it is typical to follow fabrication of the blade using chip removing apparatus and non-chip removing apparatus with finishing operations such as grinding, wet sanding, ball blasting and so on. Of these various finishing operations, in practice, belt grinding has been found to be the most efficient for contour grinding as well as surface finishing. Thus, it alone or in conjunction with other processes is an integral part of blade production.
In the grinding processes presently in use, the work piece is pushed by hand against the abrasive belt which moves over a contact pulley with the proper grinding velocity. The guidance of the work piece and the feed motion are also carried out by hand. This requires great skill, particularly to obtain accurate contour grinding of blades with compound curvature to the proper dimensions. However, interruptions of the grinding operation for gauging are necessary. In addition, the development of heat and the normally relatively short distance from the abrasive belt to the operations hand holding the work piece require that the operator wear partial gloves for safety reasons. Additional problems are caused when handling large and thus, usually relatively heavy blades. The impairment of the touch of the operator because of the weight of the blades and the necessity of wearing gloves is a factor in the ability to obtain accurate grinding.
In view of these various problems, the need for an improved method and apparatus which permits grinding of blades, including those of large weight, to a proper dimension in a simple manner becomes evident.
The present invention solves this problem by using a method of duplicate copy grinding. In accordance with the present invention, a holder for the work piece is supported on an air cushion so that it is freely movable in the plane of its support, i.e., the horizontal plane. In this work piece holder, the work piece and a model or master blade are disposed one above the other with their axes parallel. Both the model and work piece are disposed to be rotatable about their axes with means coupling the model and work piece together so that they rotate together. Adjacent the work piece holder are disposed a grinding belt and copy wheel, one above the other, with the axes of the grinder and copy wheel in the same plane as the axes of the work piece and model respectively. Naturally, the belt grinder and copier roll have the same diameter.
With this arrangement, using the air cushion support and the ability to rotate the work piece and model, the blade to be ground, i.e., the work piece, can be brought against the belt grinder in any desired orientation Even if the work piece is of great weight, it is freely movable without physical effort because of the air cushion support. This arrangement insures accurate grinding to profile and dimension by means of the copy roller and model.

Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews
"All liked. It was very good 😊"
Pros: "The flight never occurred. The first leg of my flight from Ho Chi Minh was cancelled and I was not informed. I discovered this when I went to check in. I called Kayak to resolve this since I had confirmation of the booking and was placed on hold. After 2 HOURS I hung up. At roughly 4:00 am I spoke with someone at Kayak who confirmed the flight was cancelled and that I was not contacted. An offer was made to put me on another flight a day later but that was impossible because of needing another Covid test. I was able to arrange another flight that was more expensive."
Cons: "I would like to be reimbursed the difference in flight cost since I was not informed about the flight cancellation."
Cons: "Is easy to book from your even I don’t really understand English and Japan airlines was wonderful service. Thank you 😊"

Pros: "The crew was amazing"
Pros: "Yes the airline co-operating so nice and staff were helpful. The seat was so comfortable."
Cons: "Menu options, movies"
Pros: "Crew service was amazing - so diligent and courteous. They were incredibly well trained and I would rate their service level as being one of the most competitive within business class in Asia."
Cons: "Seats were reasonably comfortable but not as spacious in design as in other business class cabins, so that could be a concern for some travelers. Also, I was not able to convert the main menu of the entertainment system to my preferred language so it was a bit difficult to navigate (that being said, they provided a card that guided me, so it was still usable, and the entertainment selection was good!)."
Cons: "Flight crew not too interactive"
Cons: "More variety of movies"
Pros: "The crew was definitely amazing. Extremely polite and always have a smile on :-)"
Cons: "Breakfast could have been better"
Pros: "Crew took great care of us."
Cons: "No complaints."
Cons: "Business class seats not very long if you are tall. Western meal option is not really very western. Crew is a little too efficient- got woken up 90 minutes before landing to clear the mattresses. Lots of announcements- a bit too much. On time, and quick to respond to requests. Sake was good as was the ramen."
Pros: "Flight went well and was on time. 2nd best experience for economy seat."
Pros: "The crew was efficient and very helpful."
Cons: "Entertainment choices of selected movies were limited."
Pros: "great food, staff and service. I like it when i can brush my teeth on a over night flight with disposable tooth brush and tooth paste."
Cons: "Flight delay communication could be better. There were some major confusions between the gates on where my flight was going to land and departure until it was finally announced that flight was delayed."
Cons: "Entertaining in English"
Pros: "even though I was in Economy class, the seat was comfortable, the food was good and the flight attendands were attentive and polite"
Pros: "Perfect service, never had a more pleasant and attentive crew"
Cons: "Movies were pretty much still the same as 10 weeks ago. Not possible to sleep in the seat in premium economy right by the toilets and galley. Constant door clattering and toilet flushing. In other cabins the noise wasn't as bad, probably better insulated?"
Cons: "Flight attendants"
Pros: "Service was excellent. Premium economy seats well worth the few extra $$."
Pros: "The service was excellent"
Cons: "Food needs improvement"
Pros: "Easily upgrade to premium economy class"
Cons: "Some staff lack of basic english"
Pros: "Beautifully presented and tasty Japanese food. Electronic windows."
Cons: "Not overly impressed with the 12:05am departure time. Western food not overly impressive. Having to travel from the plane to terminal by bus."
Pros: "Excellent service - delicious meals"
Pros: "Great service."
Cons: "I know this isn’t really the fault of the airline, but there was a loud toddler sitting behind me. It was frustrating, because the mother did not seem to do anything to have her child be quiet. It makes it hard for everyone around them to have comfortable rest, especially as this was an overnight flight. I have flown over the years with up to 5 children and do know how hard it can be, but it is important to foresee the needs of the child. I wonder of the attendants could have been a little more firm with the mother to ask her not to let the child roam the aisle."
Pros: "Roomy seats on JAL flights - their actual airplanes. Horrible when they codeshare with american and use American Airlines planes."
Cons: "They have to take the prize for having the absolute slowest customer service in the world. When I booked my tickets, I emailed customer service to make sure I didn’t get a center seat. It took them two months - TWO MONTHS - to email me back, to tell me there was nothing they could do. I also had to be reticketed on my flight from Tokyo to Hanoi. It took them 3 1/2 hours to do this. I had to sit in the airport for 3 1/2 hours to get my ticket changed. Unbelievable. They could’ve chiseled it in stone faster than they issued it."
Pros: "Very comfortable plane, even full. Polite crew."
Pros: "The crews were polite and reliable. No bossy or mean like other airlines. they moved prompt, no running or fast walk on aisles, so that passengers can ask things easily. Food was much better comparing with any other companies. The boarding time was delayed one hour, however we landed japan 2, 3 mins later than the estimated arrival time. Landing technique was beautiful. American, United, ANA which I flew caused me have a deep Earache. I didn't get any pain from this flight. I am already scared of returning flight with American airplines."
Cons: "Leg room"
Cons: "Boarding was actually good. It was checking your luggages in and getting your boarding passes which was POOR. Passengers on International flights going out of the Philippines are advised be at the airport at least 3 hours before scheduled flight. Well, the JAL check-in counter opened at 650AM for the 950AM flight (exactly 3 hours before the scheduled flight), with maybe some 50 people already in line. With most passengers coming far from the airport, it will be very very helpful if the counter, even at least one counter, would open earlier, so that passengers who came in early could check in early and wait comfortably in the departure area."
Pros: "The food (Japanese) clearly was a league of its own. Service was prompt, attentive yet discreet."
Cons: "Selection of video entertainment could be increased and improved."
Cons: "I never like flying into Narita - each time I have to have my boarding pass reissued and baggage rechecked. I like the YVR process where you just put your bags on a conveyor after clearing customs."
Pros: "Big bathroom, bide, wifi, movies, very good coffee, spacious seating areas, the price of airfare!!"
Pros: "The service, food, entertainment, everything was perfect. Thanks so much"
Pros: "The ground crew in HKG airport was really helpful."
Cons: "I have been flying JAL from HK to Boston numerous times and by far my favourite (over Cathay and don't even need to mention United). However this past trip gave me a new perspective. Given it is a Japanese airline and all, it is normal for them to be Japanese-centric. We had an a-hole sitting in front of us at 51F during our flight to Narita and he was trying hard to argue with us in English, and even told us to move to another seat. When I had the flight attendant (her name is Sako on flight JL736 on Jul 26) over to discuss (in English) she went to the guy in front of us and started apologizing to him. For what??? She then came back to us speaking in Japanese and brushed the issue away. Sorry, no this was not acceptable, even though my fiance was okay with the situation."
Pros: "Very spacious and comfortable, modern plane"
Pros: "Excellent customer service!"
Pros: "I liked that the seats were a 2-4-2 configuration. Most American carriers will have a 3-5-3 seating configuration. JAL has won some prestigious seat awards in 2015 for innovation and comfort."
Cons: "The JAL website specified most trans-atlantic flights with the newer and more spacious seating in Premium Economy. Departing from San Diego, this was only an option once a year I was told at the check in counter. I was counting on extra width and legroom as I am 270 lbs and 73" tall. I was disappointed that these up-gradable seats were not available. I also did not like that we sat on the Oksaka tarmac at a divert airport from Narita (Tokyo) and were not given an option to leave the plane and find alternate transportation of our choice to get us to our destination. I understand the high winds and bad weather was not allowing us to land on time, but we sat on the tarmac for 2 1/2 hours and then left to fly into Narita 5 hours late."
Pros: "The crew were cooperative and the supplies were good"
Cons: "The chairs were not comfortable and the toilets were so dirty"
Pros: "Good service"
Cons: "N A"
Pros: "As always Korean Air’s attention to detail is outstanding and impressive."
Cons: "Though I appreciate the consideration given to tall passengers (trying to find us an aisle seat with an empty seat beside, after boarding, for instance), I think there is more that could be done during the check-in process to seat tall passengers into emergency exits or other seats with more legroom"
Pros: "Onboarding on time and kind"
Pros: "THE CREWS ARE VERY POLITE"
Pros: "Fast boarding sequence and take off."
Cons: "Cabin crew should have smile more, serious faces make request so unconfortable. Food could have been better."
Cons: "Not too much, not enough."
Pros: "service/food excellent"
Cons: "old aircraft with outdated and worn 'cradle' seats that are hard to find these days. Unlike claimed it is not a flatbed type."
Pros: "Great service. Clean plane, good seating"
Pros: "Great service, plenty of leg room, exceptional staff. Toilets refreshed often. Will def fly again."
Cons: "More detailed online infor for kids food. Australian fried rice varies greatly from korean!!! Potato crisp packets of chips would be a good snack option for kids instead of prawn crackers / brownies. Kids like plain stuff!"
Pros: "Flight staff/crew were the best. And them planes top notch condition and amenities."
Cons: "Anytime I looked to get help from there non-fight staff (customer service, reservation personnel,etc.) I found them rude, short and unhelpful."
Pros: "nothing, i regret flying west jet but i had no choice bc it was the only option for my layover."
Cons: "- boarding was late - take off time took forever (kept circling around) - no entertainment - uncomfortable seats - very loud plane compared to other airlines"
Cons: "Old aircraft, tiny seats"
Pros: "the movie selection"
Cons: "the seats are so closely packed any inclination inconveniences the person seated behind. in all respects save for the name and price this replicated a cheap budget airline. i expected more from SA. the flight crew was brusque and made it appear that they were grudgingly doing one s personal favor rather than their job"
Pros: "Very organized"
Cons: "Wish the cabin crew speak more universal language, English, and the snack between meals more regularly without having to ask."
Pros: "The service and especially the flight stewart, he has to be the best one EVER!!!"
Cons: "I was too distracted by the professionalism, friendliness and care of the fight stewart to see anything bad."
Pros: "Great Staff"
Cons: "Being too old to listen to crying baby's in the economy (Cattle Car) section of the airplane."
Pros: "The new plane was amazing on my way back from Singapore to Chicago. The staff is extremely courteous. The food was good which included some traditional Korean food options and some western cuisine."
Cons: "On my way from Chicago to Singapore, they had an old plane and the business class was mediocre at best. The seats were uncomfortable. They were stacked side by side and did not have a "personal pod" formation which in my honest opinion is quite a waste of thousands of dollars you paid to travel. Additionally, the entertainment was just okay. There were not too many great options of movies and for the old plane, the screens were really bad."
Pros: "The food choices, included Korean dishes. The disposal slippers are great when taking shoes off. The air hostesses were friendly and helpful. Good leg room."
Cons: "Movie selections were not that great, many good current movies were not available. Seat does not have enough lower back support, was literally having to sit on my pillow and blanket due to lower back pain."
Pros: "I loved the service, and comfort"
Cons: "The transfer time was too slim. I literally sprinted through the airport. I'm not exaggerating. I actually sprinted. My bag wasn't as quick however and didn't make the transfer. :("
Pros: "The leg room was pretty generous compared to other airlines."
Cons: "The entertainment system worked alright but a bit old-fashioned. The airplane safety video seemed like it was made in the 90s. The food on the return flight was really bad"
Pros: "Food and assistance"
Pros: "Korea Air is a great airline. Jin Air (for the return part) was OK. The flight attendants of BOTH airlines are GREAT, but the seats in Jin Air are cramped."
Cons: "Korea Air is a great airline. Jin Air (for the return part) was OK. The flight attendants of BOTH airlines are GREAT, but the seats in Jin Air are cramped."
Cons: "food bad, poor selection"
Pros: "Boarded on time and quickly. Smooth ride made me fall asleep for most of the flight almost the second I sat down (I had been out the night before so that probably also explains it). They left a note saying I was sleeping when they gave out meals and offered it to me even though we were about to descend. I didn't eat the food, nor did I use the in-flight entertainment, so I can't attest to the quality in those regards."
Cons: "Seats a little uncomfortable but this time around I got a window seat as well as two empty seats behind me so I was able to stretch out a bit more and be liberal with my space."
Pros: "Crews are kind and nice. No complain about the service the crews provided."
Cons: "The chair, need to be more comfortable"
Cons: "Coach seats were adequate, but for a long flight it is hard to be really comfortable."
Pros: "I could never have survived that long a trip on a cramped US airline sitting in a center seat."
Cons: "I don't like their policy of closing all the blinds when it is daylight outside."
Pros: "Loved it!"
Pros: "Korean Airlines service is awesome. The flight attendants are attentive, sharp and customer service oriented."
Pros: "I like the City airport service in Seoul, you can drop off your luggage early so you can enjoy the city more."
Cons: "They are not quite ready for their electronic boarding pass and apple watch features. Although they have an App, it only goes far as checking in 48 hours early. The food is not good."
Pros: "Service of the flight attendants was excellent, they were courteous, pleasant and professional sort of like the old days of the flying industry. Language was a bit difficult for me to interpret however they took whatever time needed to make sure I understood their communication. Everything is tidy and clean. A good variety of movies, games, music and information channels was provided.I will fly korean Air in the future."
Cons: "Boarding was a challenge because the gate staff did not announce in English. It would be more organized if they boarded sets of rows in sequence instead of mass boarding for economy. Also had a problem with transfer at Bangkok Airport. Fortunately I had adequate time for the connecting flight but the transfer area was not opened until 7pm. The transfer process is all new to me and not really easy to understand until the first experience. The Arrival and departure boards rotate airline information which was initially difficult to understand. The headsets were a problem in reference to fitting, volume and quality of tone."
Pros: "The cabin attendants were very attentive. Food and beverages were appreciated. Hot cloths to refresh ourselves were also appreciated. Needless to say, the skill of the personnel in the cockpit is also acknowledged. The blankets, pillow, and water were also a nice touch."
Cons: "The seats were comfortable, but I wish they had more cushioning for this long flight."
Pros: "On time takeoff and arrival"
Cons: "Entertainment choices e.g. (movie choices) limited. alcoholic drink choices limited too"
Pros: "Very friendly crew and quick boarding process"
Cons: "Seat is a bit narrow,"
Pros: "The food, the service,the entertainment were the best. Every time the bathrooms were used they were cleaned, you never see that on US based flights, ever!!!"
Cons: "Lights in cabin too bright while serving meals. Could turn it down a notch"
Pros: "International flight should be Two luggage check in, all other flights I used they are two luggage to be check in, and one carry on, but not this Korean Air, for sure I wouldn't be using again.,"
Pros: "Koreans are naturally respectful, making for a very pleasant flight"
Pros: "Excellent service and comfort, from start to finish"
Pros: "The air hostess is very kind and helpful when she noticed that I was not well and she has offered me a honey lemon drink even I didn't request."
Pros: "This was my first experience with Korean Air, I was very impressed. I would definitely fly with them again."
Cons: "special meals especially Hindu meals non vegetarian"
Pros: "Good experince. Crew was fantastic."
Pros: "Beverage service satisfactory."
Cons: "The fact that this JAL Flight was operated by Korean Air meant that not only was the staff different, the the plane itself was an older and smaller model with extremely little room and zero entertainment systems. Both of these developments were severely disappointing given that the 2 hour round trip was 440USD, and flying on a budget airline would have provided basically the same experience for much cheaper. Furthermore the flight was delayed for over an hour taking off at almost 10:00pm instead of 8:40pm. The meal service was quite disappointing as well given the long wait. This delay nearly caused me to miss the last train into the city, in which case I would have needed to take an incredibly expensive Tokyo taxi ride to my accommodation. This was avoided by luck alone, as the airport immigration lines at Haneda airport were uncharacteristically empty. All in all, it was a surprisingly frustrating experience and remarkably stressful. I have known JAL and Korean Air to both be excellent carriers and was quite disappointed to have such a poor flight experience could have been exceeded by an average Peach or Vanilla Air flight."
Pros: "The flight staff is always a pleasure to fly with."
Pros: "Services, and the large comfortable plane."
Cons: "Long flight"
Cons: "Again, my special meal request wasn't found and I ended up eating nothing"
Pros: "Nice planes & attendants. Clean."
Cons: "Had to get off Korean air in Seoul & go thru terribly bogged down customs, just to transfer & continue on another Korean air plane - both ways! Barely made it to my 2nd plane even though I practically ran thru the big airport after the customs delay - both on my way to Hanoi & on my return. Got to Vancouver & only found out by accident that my checked bag would NOT be transferred to my Seattle flight, even though my tag clearly said to pick it up in Seattle. Had to disembark, claim my bag, then go thru the departure procedure at Vancouver all over again, with 2 customs checks: enter Canada, re board to U.S."
"Airplane food was not good from Manila to Chicago. But the flight from Chicago to Manila - food was great! Big contrast"
Pros: "Fast check in. Awesome flight attendant on United and All Nippon Air. Flight on ANA has awesome service."
Pros: "the Crew as always on ANA flights is amazing"
Pros: "Crew service is excellent!"
Cons: "The seat is really cramp and tight!"
Cons: "On long flights, the seats need to be more comfortable and there needs to be more entertainment options. Also was not sure why we could not book seats even though we booked tickets in October."
Pros: "Crew was very nice, toilets clean."
Cons: "Flight delayed 2 times, didn’t receive text or Email from the second delayed"
Pros: "Food is bland, boring. Entertainment contents are limited and old movies"
Cons: "As mentioned above, more new selections of movies. Better taste and quality of food, please."
Pros: "There was a lot of leg room and updated features. Also the candy they gave out was good."
Cons: "The food was not to my liking,"
Cons: "Lousy food taste bland out of date movies"
Cons: "Food was really unpleasant and entertainment all out of date movies"
Cons: "Narita to Honolulu sector has not enough food for breakfast noting Honolulu airport has got nothing to offer!!!"
Pros: "I enjoyed the flight because the flight NH9 wasn't fully booked, I used my next seat too. Also, the crews are generally better then usual, more smile. Food also better than last severity trips."
Cons: "Even so, food can be better. I want more western drama on entertainment."
Pros: "I like the service. I like the way they checked my back stuff and put back very neat. I’m very happy with your company,"
Cons: "No complaints, I would say....ANA the best,!"
Pros: "Check in is a breeze, the staff even helped me to load my luggages to the counter. Boarding is prompt and orderly. The food is excellent , love the kabosu, there is snack available at the back in case you are still hungry. Entertainment is good choices, headphone is nice."
Cons: "None so far, been travelling with ANA 8-10 times a year for more than 5 years"
Pros: "That it didn’t crash"
Cons: "It was very delayed and then the luggage still hasn’t come out"
Pros: "- Friendly staff. - Excellent service and boarding easiness. - Kayak's excellent price."
Cons: "- Entertainment had limited movies. - Food could have more selection for business class. - Loung in Japan is not the greatest and overcrowded. - Boarding from Japan to KUL was very poor specially in packing people like sardine in the shuttle."
Pros: "Food was ok for economy and they bring more coffee when you ask. The flight wasn’t so full so the seat next to me was empty and also I could sit in the exit isle to work on my laptop"
Cons: "The seat pitch is such that you can’t use a laptop in a normal seat. This would have been a big issue if there wasn’t a seat in the exit row for me to borrow. Staff fine but nothing special."
Pros: "I like the way the flight attendants treat the passengers. They are very courteous, friendly and wearing very sweet smiles.The airplane is very prompt when it comes to arrival and departure schedule. Thank you very much for providing me a wheelchair which made my travel more convenient."
Cons: "So far there was nothing that I didn't like. The food was good and the airplane was clean."
Pros: "Very efficient"
Cons: "Food was not good"
Cons: "The food was dreadful. It was like being back in the 1990s. Kids entertainment options were poor. The original toy story movie was it!"
Cons: "Sitting space"
Pros: "The extra inches were nice. Fairly comfortable seat. And the ice cream was a nice treat."
Cons: "I thought I would get a little more than a few extra inches in Economy Plus. Maybe an overnight packet (ear plugs, eye mask, toothbrush?) and/or a foot rest for the extra money, but it was literally only a few extra inches of space."
Pros: "Everything went well. ANA customer service wonderful, both at the counter and on the plane. Loved the meals, and fun to watch the available movies and shows at your seat."
Pros: "Friendly staff. English language not too much of an issue. Ample personal space in economy class compared to other carriers."
Cons: "Asian Vegetarian meal not very good. Seems like whichever company they use to buy the food makes a half hearted effort in their selections for the food tray. If you're going to put a couple small pieces of lettuce and a cherry tomato into an already small container and call it salad, why bother? The rest of the meal wasn't pleasing either. The fruit was nearly frozen it was so cold. The entree had a few different things but still a weird combination of veggies."
Pros: "I like the way the stewardesses treating all passengers especially economy class- very professional , attentive to needs and service with great smile- overall wonderful experience and to think I had never heard of this airline prior to flying it for the first time was very impressionable for me"
Cons: "The in flights entertainment was a little limiting to me- but with the great service by crew- it didn't matter so much . But a little more wide variety could go a long way - or more new releases"
Pros: "ANA is one of our favorite airlines. Consistently great service, if not occasionally a little too 'rule centric'... but it's Japan, and that's why it's so nice and clean and everything works perfectly... :)"
Pros: "Very helpful and accommodating flight attendants ... all with a smile!"
Pros: "After flying domestic flights on US carriers, the idea of getting two meals and free drinks is almost shocking. Even more so when the food (though very Japanese) was quite good quality in economy. If you have to spend 10 hours or more crossing an ocean ANA is certainly a good bet, at least if you don't mind a bento box style meal."
Pros: "La puntualidad absoluta, la amabilidad de la tripulación y los baños impecables durante las 13 hr de vuelo."
Cons: "Creo que la comida podría mejorarse un poco pero es un detalle mínimo"
Pros: "Service in side."
Cons: "Air host listen on time"
Pros: "I like the nice and warm service from the crew"
Cons: "Food can be more variable but overall its oke"
Pros: "Everything was fantastic (except that I didn’t watch or listen to any of the entertainment"
Cons: "Width of the seat for me was bit tight when in a flat bed position."
Pros: "Great airline!"
Cons: "some of the gates can be long walk"
Cons: "Delayed 2 hours and people where freezing in terminal. They eventually brought blankets and snacks."
Pros: "I like the courteous and efficient service of the whole crew."
Cons: "I didn't like part of the journey to USA to be run by UNITED."
Pros: "The food were good and just enough for the inflight need"
Cons: "The time to get to the next flight is so tight! I wish there's a 30 minutes more so I don't have to rush and be the last one to get in the plane."
Pros: "The stewardess constantly walked the aisle looking to assist the passengers...no disappearing act like one finds on other airlines. I was in business class, so the food was very tasty."
Cons: "Seats seem extra small, narrow and short. As a window seat there was very little room between the seat and the wall. Food and entertainment average to below average (compared with Qantas, Singapore Airlines)"
Cons: "I did not like the delay of the plane which, instead of taking of at 10pm took off at 7h45 am."
Pros: "Good service and not too long of a wait to board the plane."
Pros: "Friendly and helpful stewardess"
Cons: "Seats could be more comfortable."
Pros: "I love the food and the girls was fantastic"
Pros: "highly efficient processes on ground (Narita airport), clean and enough space in airplane, exteremely supportive and polite staff"
Pros: "I fly around often, at least 10 times a year, and ANA has always had the best service, cleanest planes, and the best entertainment. I recommend flying with ANA anytime you travel."
Pros: "Nice friendly staff in the plane. Nice friendly staff at the airport, although very slow and getting confused easily. Need more training."
Cons: "Check-in process at the airport was ridiculous ! One ANA staff sends us to wait to a certain counter after looking at our ENTIRE trip (all 3 segments), only to find out 20min later that we were supposed to go to ANOTHER counter, because our ultimate destination was International (USA). Also, boarding passes had to be REPRINTED in Tokyo for some reason. Note: on the way to Okinawa 2 weeks earlier, we had similar poor experience, but we only had to wait 5 min in the wrong lane. Overall ANA staff is very nice, friendly and smiling, but seems to get overwhelmed and confused very easily, and take FOREVER to do simple tasks that their US counterparts do 3x or 4x FASTER. --> do more regular TRAINING of your staff at airport counters !"
Pros: "The plane was new and the seats recline quite a bit. The movie selection was solid (though disorganized)."
Cons: "The food service was a plastic bag of goodies (bag of chips, water bottle, toblerone, kit kat, pastry) - what?! The turbulence announcement was made once in english and japanese by the auto-plane service followed by the crew announcing it again in both English and Japanese. The same was done with the duty free. The plane pressure also felt very strong and cause discomfort for the wife. The movie selection was solid (but badly organized) and the TV show selection wasn't terrible. It should all be better. Come on ANA! Contact me for recommendations."
Pros: "Good air crew. Good manners and attention to detail. Excellent members at check-in."
Pros: "Cabin comfort"
Cons: "Only two Hindi movie"
Cons: "More food variety"
Pros: "Crew were helpful and attended to any needs that we requested. As I am a big person the seat is never that comfortable but Singapore Airlines seating is more spacious than other companies I have flown with."
Cons: "The food was not too attractive, better variety of main meals"
Pros: "When the seat folded down (business class) into a bed, it gave almost a twin size bed that was flat."
Cons: "Being in business class, I had expected the food to be better. Also, the red wines offered were only a sub selection of the ones in the menu."
Pros: "Average flight"
Cons: "Seats on this aircraft have very upright seats. Not very comfy"
Pros: "Seat was comfortable, flight attendants were attentive and the food wasn't bad."
Pros: "More space then previous flights. Attendants very pleasant and helpful."
Cons: "Ran out of the food choices by the time they reached me. Had to make do with what was left."
Pros: "I have tall family members and they had enough legroom even at the back of the plane. Service was excellent. Snacks and drinks were regular on offer even between meal. Very nice, professional staff even after 13 hours of flight. Just excellent. Thank you for this very pleasant experience. Will definitely fly Singapore Airlines again."
Cons: "There is room for improvement with the special meals. The non gluten brun was very hard. In general it would be nice if passengers could pre-order from a set selection of foods online what they would like on their tray. This would hopefully lower the amount of food that sadly goes to waste. Also it would be nice to have gluten free snacks on board. Flying with celiac disease is not easy."
Cons: "Everything was fine."
Pros: "As a frequent flyer, I have found out that the few dollars i spend more on SQ is well worth it"
Pros: "Seats are big as old plane"
Cons: "Very old plane, entertainment system therefore very old too. Service was slow, 2 hours after start till they serve dinner, another 1 hour to clear. No special boarding for staralliance gold members"
Pros: "The cabin crew were fantastic. Food was abundant. Most boarding systems worked well. Choosing seats was confusing on website so we were allocated seating. The newer planes had a fantastic touch screen entertainment system. The seats on the newer planes were much more comfortable and roomy"
Cons: "The small seats are squishy on the older planes. The entertainment system on the older planes were dated and difficult to use. I felt sick after the flight to UK but felt fine coming home after one long flight on a newer plane."
Cons: "Ran out of options for dinner and could not eat the macaroni cheese they had on offer, so got 2 small packets of nuts instead...international flight running out of food options? Pretty slack. A part of the interior wall fell off onto my foot upon take off and I had to hold it in place for a while until a hostess came....doesn’t give you the best feeling when the plane starts breaking on take off. One of the male stewards was appalling towards a young mum I sat next too...too the extent of giving her dirty looks because she spilled a bit of water on the seat and then told her she had to pack everything away she was using, including the baby wipes! I stepped in and told him how this was not ok and all other staff members were helpful and he was making this Mum upset. He should not be working for such a people friendly reputable airline! Maybe Jetstar instead! Was appalled at the entire flight to be honest!"
Pros: "USB and plug for every seat, reasonable leg space and leg rest, good food choice and very attentive crew."
Cons: "No negative points"
Pros: "Friendly and helpful crew. Efficient service and good boarding. Seemingly wider seats than the newer A350s."
Cons: "Positively ancient entertainment system with poor selection and bad visual quality. Ads pop up every time you go into another menu. If you're flying SIN->BNE I'd avoid the 7.20am departure, you'll get the old 777-200s rather than the A350s they run on other departures."
Cons: "When refreshments were being served they did so in a hurry for some reason and missed passengers including myself. We had to call for an attendant to serve the refreshments who seemed a little annoyed at that."
Pros: "Brand new aircraft, excellent service and food"
Cons: "J class seat, 12A window. Top of my seat curled around my sides, which blocked vision thru 1.5 of the 3 windows I had access to. The enclosure also protuded into my left bicep when I had my elbow resting on the arm rest. Table on my right hand side was too close to my body, and to high to reach a drink easily, I literally had to lift my whole right arm to pick up a glass."
Pros: "Great service."
Cons: "Disinfectant smell."
Pros: "Seats more comfortable than premium economy, staff more helpful!"
Cons: "Food was ordinary"
Cons: "The desserts. The bun."
Cons: "Outdated Cabin Fit Out"
Pros: "Able to check luggage in 48 hrs before flight saving $50 storage fees, so went back into CBD for the day."
Cons: "20 mins late boarding meant plane left 35 mins late although still arrived on time."
Pros: "Staff, food and emenities great for economy class"
Cons: "Inflight entertainment wasn't as extensive as in previous years."
Cons: "Boarding at Singapore airport was shocking, as we had to wait 6 hours for our flight. Rating low to the crew mainly because of the ground staff as they were not very communicative to begin with about the explanation for our delay. Only when the passengers got a bit more vocal about wanting explanations, they started giving us a bit more information. All estimated times given for boarding the flight were incorrect by a big margin! Seemed more like they were giving shorter wait time for boarding just to please the passengers, where as they were well aware of how long the wait would be."
Pros: "Liked the service"
Cons: "Nothing special."
Pros: "I felt safe ( important to me) and had just the right amount of attention from staff Very comfortable"
Pros: "Was very old plane but was good"
Cons: "Food and crew was well"
Pros: "I've always flown Singapore airlines wherever possible. Standards are unbeatable until this flight..."
Cons: "The dinner was terrible. I am a long time customer of Singapore Airlines and I know where the standard are. The food on this flight was the worst I've seen. The starter (vermicelli) was overly salty, dry and severely undercooked. The main course was acceptable but the portion of chicken was more like side dish not main. Missing sides."
Pros: "I liked there was entertainment"
Cons: "It was an old tired plane"
Pros: "The attendants are pleasant to the eye, thats about it."
Cons: "I heard so many good things and was left disappointed. The service from staff try to help and be nice but some of them do not care at all, things like too busy to bring a beverage etc was a tad annoying. dont know if i will use them again"
Pros: "Crew was friendly and whole on ground process was efficient."
Cons: "Aircraft not as clean as expected from a flight departing from their home port. Can't put my finger on it, but standards have slipped for slipped for SQ, albeit from a very high standard."
Pros: "Crew service"
Cons: "Very old entertainment system. Poor screen visibility. Cramped"
Pros: "The staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend travelling with the airline. The A380 is a great way to travel with more space in economy. I booked seats on the upper deck where there is a smaller economy cabin. Makes you feel a bit more civilised up the top!"
Cons: "Economy class isn't great for a long haul flight but the staff make it much more bearable."
Cons: "Old planes and screens."
Pros: "Sound sleep"
Pros: "The staff were helpful, once I had complained enough."
Cons: "Aircraft was old, tired, and uncomfortable. The seat of my chair was not attached. There were huge comms boxes below every 2nd seat so zero legroom. Screens were so old they were unwatchable and tiny. Air Asia provides a superior service for a fraction of the price."
Pros: "Singapore service is always outstanding"
Cons: "temp on plane was freezing and even two blankets did not suffice. Everyone was really cold."
Pros: "No fuss flight but lacking that something extra"
Cons: "Crew rarely walked aisles with water. Gluten free meal was mediocre. Seat was old and uncomfortable. Entertainment options were mediocre."
Cons: "cramped uncomfortable seats freezing cold"
Cons: "The food was very poor indeed, the entertainment system was not working in my seat or the seat behind, I had to move to another seat"
Pros: "Changed by very helpful ground staff from lousy seats to exit row at no cost."
Cons: "Entertainment interface showing its age."
Pros: "Leg room in economy is good, even for tall people. Food was actually quite good."
Cons: "Two of our family's seats would not recline, although they were not near an exit row."
Pros: "The ground staff in Sydney!"
Cons: "From the moment we checked in in Singapore there was no service. Having travelled first class and Economy before with Singapore I was very disappointed with Business class. My husband and daughter were in First Class. The service was below average to say the least - more training required from check in to on board - (in Sydney the staff on the ground went above and beyond) In Singapore it was very fake and contained no sincerity. The lounge itself was also ordinary compared to others, no Amenity kits or PJs in business class - even Virgin Australia has that! I was so excited to be travelling Singapore again given past experiences but now Im not sure I will want to fly them again."
Cons: "old facilities"
Pros: "Good crew, but working with some tired, old equipment."
Cons: "The padding in my seat seemed to be a bit thin and became progressively more uncomfortable as the flight progressed. The in-flight entertainment systems are really showing some wear & tear. The screen was blurry, the letters on the control buttons had work off and the sound quality was terrible."
Pros: "Arrival in Canberra was excellent."
Cons: "Horrendously uncomfortable business-class seat for a redeye flight."
Pros: "Movie selection, very helpful crew and good quality food."
Cons: "Aircraft was dated with old business class seats which are worn. Minimal options in movies to watch"
Pros: "i can't say amazing but they're doing their job well!"
Cons: "I cannot think if anything. Having the eye masks certainly helped sleeping on the flight a little easier."
Cons: "We purchased premium economy tickets but could not select our seats. We were assigned separated seats and had to call Eva Air customer service but they would not help. When we arrived at the check in counter our seats had been relocated and were able to sit together. Kind of upsetting having this hanging over our heads until the last moment."
Pros: "Friendly crew. Comfy seats. Timely meals and snacks."
Cons: "Food is too salty"
Pros: "Boarding followed priority order. Blankets were good, and extra pillow available upon request."
Cons: "Better food options. There was reduced options due to strike, but the food quality was not good."
Pros: "Great service!"
Pros: "The seats were very comfortable."
Cons: "It was very difficult to understand the flight attendants, flight was very bumpy and it was delayed about 2 hours in all. We had to deplane in Taipei, and then sat on the tarmac in NYC for another 40 minutes."
Pros: "I loved all the free food, even on short-haul flights!"
Pros: "The crew was very good at serving the meal. The crew did a great job telling passengers to get back in their seats when they were standing up while we were on the run way after landing."
Pros: "We were delayed coming out of LA. Arriving in Manila, we were in the tarmac for 30-40 minutes The crew has a habit of yelling out to passengers for them to remain seated instead of approaching them to ask them to remain seated ...AS OTHER AIRLINES DO. Very off putting and shocking."
Cons: "The crew can be nicer, more gracious. Hospitality is their trade. I observed that they have a habit of calling out in aloud voice to passengers to remain seated bothered us. It is embarrassing and comical to watch. Other airlines do not do that. The crew must go and talk to them politely."
Pros: "Crews were very nice"
Cons: "Seat could have been a bit more comfortable and a little more leg room"
Pros: "The crew was great"
Pros: "Special meal options: I enjoyed seafood meal."
Cons: "Departure was delayed and arrival at Taipei was also delayed"
Cons: "Rude customer service. Hard to understand English. unhelpful staff. Flight was delayed an hour and a half and during the entire time waiting in the lounge, the staff did not notify passengers about the delay until the new boarding time. Updates along the way would have been appreciated."
Pros: "I was lucky enough to have extra seats next to me so I slept well on the plane. I appreciated how friendly the stewardesses were, and also the ease of boarding, the prompt food service, and cleainess of the plane (and restrooms too)"
Cons: "The dining options were ok, not particularly wonderful, but overall pretty good."
Pros: "Crew was the best part. They were very friendly and helpful."
Cons: "Very limited English movie selections for such a long flight. Could not turn Chinese subtitles off for some. Very distracting. Seats in economy (according to online comparisons) are some of the best in the industry but I felt extremely cramped and uncomfortable for the entire flight. Long haul flights should not have seats this small. Also, for health reasons, all seats should have foot rests. It shouldn't be about money, people can die from sitting like that for so long. Also, the food that I could eat was good, but there should be a no fish option. You have a lot of diet types available to choose from but none guarantee no fish. The process for requesting a special meal online was not clear and confusing."
Pros: "metal silverware is great, reduces plastic waste."
Cons: "plastic cups, they're not biodegradable. Better to use paper cups."
Pros: "Crew were very friendly and helpful. The flight attendants seemed to have a genuine interest in the needs and comfort of the passengers."
Cons: "For such a long flight, the seats were too small and not enough leg room."
Pros: "Hello Kitty theme plane"
Cons: "Food can be better"
Cons: "I don’t understand why flights don’t board from the back to the front. People at the back have to get past the ones in front still in the aisles to get to their seats."
Pros: "The staff and amenities were top notch. Seats seemed a bit roomier than ones I been on in the US lately."
Cons: "The web site was terrible. It could't remember any of my personal info for the return flight despite the fact that I entered it on the out going flight and on their mileage plus (Infinity?) program."
Pros: "Flight attendants stand out as a great example of customer serve."
Cons: "Seats were tight"
Pros: "The 777 premium economy seats are quite good"
Cons: "Food was awful and service so-so. Rushed and unfriendly"
Pros: "Movie on board is good"
Cons: "Food not so nice"
Pros: "Good food, lots of space, clean plane and friendly flight attendants"
Cons: "1. Not enough movie selections; same selection on both legs of the trip. 2. Bathrooms were dirty. 3. I was very disappointed that I was forced to check a carryon due to weight limits when it was under the size requirement. The weight limit doesn't make sense if it was going on the same plane anyway for free. 4. It is utterly ridiculous not to give full mileage for economy tickets anymore. Out of all the programs to cut, the loyalty program? Really? 5. Flight attendants were not particularly friendly."
Pros: "Anytime I have flown with a star alliance airline, I've been more than satisfied with the flight, the cost, the crew and the service. All star alliance member airlines are an excellent choice. Truly EVA is one of the "Stars" in Asia and it shows."
Cons: "Nothing I didn't like"
Pros: "Reasonable legroom in Economy. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms."
Cons: "Beer selection is terrible (eww - Heineken) Movie selection is very limited"
Pros: "Boarding and service by the crew wers great."
Cons: "Food was a little to much asian."
Pros: "Get crew, very friendly. Food is amazing and movies are latest"

As the federal shutdown grinds on, Team Obama’s message to the American people is sadly consistent: Shove it — as painfully as possible.
Obama’s strategic sadism disregards regular Americans’ basic needs and tortures those who resist. And if this damages people, so what? “We are winning,” a senior administration official told the Wall Street Journal. “It doesn’t really matter to us” how long the shutdown endures, “because what matters is the end result.”
The administration is scrambling over benefits that were denied to the bereaved families of at least 26 military servicemembers who died on duty since the October 1 shutdown. Despite Congress’s enacting and Obama’s signing pre-shutdown funding for military pay and family assistance, officials initially refused these grieving loved ones the travel and burial aid that Washington traditionally offers under such brutal circumstances. The GOP House voted unanimously Wednesday to restore this relief. Senate majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada trivialized this House bill as being “for show,” and White House press secretary Jay Carney called it “a gimmick.” However, amid growing public outcry, Reid pushed the measure through the Senate Thursday. Until federal money actually arrives, the private Fisher House deserves national applause for underwriting this support for the loved ones of these fallen heroes.


Additionally, the catalytic converter, which helps reduce harmful emissions, can be affected, resulting in reduced efficiency and increased pollution. It is crucial to address any coolant leakage quickly to prevent further damage and ensure the proper functioning of your vehicle’s engine and exhaust system.
How Does Engine Coolant Get Into The Exhaust?
Engine coolant flowing into the exhaust can be a serious problem for your vehicle. This can happen through a cracked cylinder head gasket, a damaged intake manifold gasket, or a faulty radiator cap. When coolant leaks into the exhaust system, it can mix with the hot gases and create white smoke.
This white smoke is a clear indicator that something is wrong with your engine. Moreover, coolant in the exhaust can lead to engine overheating and potential damage to internal components. It is important to address any coolant leaks promptly to prevent further issues and ensure the smooth operation of your vehicle.
Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and fix these problems before they worsen.
Signs Of Coolant Leaking Into The Exhaust
When engine coolant leaks into the exhaust, there are several signs to watch for. One of the most noticeable indications is excessive white smoke emanating from the tailpipe. Another sign is a sweet smell coming from the exhaust. Additionally, the engine may start to overheat due to the coolant loss.
These symptoms should not be ignored, as they indicate potential problems with the engine’s cooling system. It is crucial to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage to the engine. Regularly checking the coolant levels and inspecting the exhaust system can help identify any coolant leaks early on.
Effects If Engine Coolant Got into the Exhaust
Engine coolant in the exhaust can lead to damage in the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter. The presence of coolant can interfere with the proper functioning of these components. Additionally, it can result in a reduction in engine performance, as the coolant can affect the combustion process.
Furthermore, there is a risk of engine failure if the coolant continues to enter the exhaust system. The coolant can cause damage to various engine components and lead to malfunctions. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent further damage and ensure optimal engine functionality.

Engine coolant mixing with the exhaust can have a significant impact on the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter. The oxygen sensors play a crucial role in measuring the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases, providing feedback to the engine control unit for optimal fuel-to-air ratio.
When coolant enters the exhaust system, it can contaminate the oxygen sensors, leading to inaccurate readings and potentially triggering the check engine light. Furthermore, coolant in the exhaust can damage the catalytic converter, which is responsible for converting harmful gases into less harmful emissions.
The presence of coolant can cause the catalyst to overheat and deteriorate, resulting in reduced efficiency and performance. Overall, the mixture of engine coolant with the exhaust can negatively affect the function and role of oxygen sensors and the catalytic converter, compromising the overall performance of the vehicle.
Consequences On Engine Performance
When engine coolant gets into the exhaust, it can lead to several consequences on engine performance. One major impact is increased fuel consumption due to the coolant reducing the overall efficiency of the combustion process. This can also result in a loss of power and acceleration as the engine struggles to burn fuel properly.
Additionally, poor combustion and misfires may occur, further compromising the engine’s performance. Coolant in the exhaust disrupts the ideal air-fuel mixture required for optimal combustion, leading to inefficient operation. Overall, the entry of engine coolant into the exhaust has significant detrimental effects on engine performance, resulting in decreased fuel efficiency, power loss, and combustion issues.
It is crucial to promptly address and repair any coolant leaks to maintain a well-functioning engine.
Potential For Engine Failure
When engine coolant gets into the exhaust, it can potentially lead to engine failure. The damage caused to engine components is significant and can result in corrosion and rusting of internal parts. This can lead to costly repairs and even the need for engine replacement.
It is important to address this issue promptly to avoid further damage and expenses. It is crucial to be aware of any signs of coolant leaking into the exhaust system, such as white smoke coming from the tailpipe or a sweet smell.
Seeking professional assistance and getting the issue fixed as soon as possible is the best course of action to prevent any severe consequences. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to ensure that the engine coolant is properly contained and does not mix with the exhaust gases.
Steps To Prevent Coolant Leakage Into The Exhaust
Engine coolant getting into the exhaust can lead to serious damage and performance issues.
To prevent this, regular maintenance and inspection of gaskets and seals is essential. It ensures that any potential leaks are detected and repaired in a timely manner.

With the State of the Voluntary Carbon Markets report each year, we strive to offer voluntary market coverage that is global, insightful and freely available – to reach readers from Westpac to watchdogs. Read on for details about the report and the latest news from around the world of v-carbon.
NOTE: This article has been reprinted from Ecosystem Marketplace’s Voluntary Carbon newsletter. You can receive this summary of global news and views from the world of voluntary carbon automatically in your inbox by clicking here.
11 October 2011 | Show of hands: who among you regularly pays for market analysis?
Many of our readers probably have some access to industry news and trade data if their company is directly engaged in markets for emissions reductions.
But what about those readers that collectively shape public opinion and demand for offsets – i.e. prospective buyers, journalists, new start-ups, community members, NGO’s, educators, governments and the general public – who are interested in this marketplace but can face limited access to industry information?
When Ecosystem Marketplace teams up each year with Bloomberg New Energy Finance to produce the State of the Voluntary Carbon Markets report, we strive to offer voluntary market coverage that is global, insightful and freely available – to reach readers from Westpac to watchdogs.
For five years now, we have offered the world’s only free year-on-year tracking of the evolving relationships between global voluntary offset transactions and the wider world of regulation, emerging markets and other external pressures that drive market maturation.
Some of these developments were set in motion long before we launched our first report in 2007, and will continue to unfold regardless of who is keeping tabs. With or without the State of reports, well-established market players will have access to necessary business intelligence.
But Ecosystem Marketplace was founded and is by now best-positioned to provide comprehensive, transparent industry knowledge through this benchmark report – benefiting everyone who is invested in voluntary emissions reductions, new and established alike.
That’s why, even as the funding climate has warmed to new markets and cooled for some traditional funding sources, we hope to again publish this report – free and expanded – and continue to operate our voluntary carbon program (including V-Carbon News briefs) in 2012.
In order to do so, we must raise US$90,000 in donations or sponsorship commitments by November 30, 2011.
There are a few ways readers can help us reach this goal:
- Make a donation (of any amount!). Those that contribute over US$499 will be recognized in the 2012 report.
- Become a Sponsor. This is how reader support can add up fast. Yes, we will display your logo at every opportunity. No, we don’t share confidential survey responses with sponsors.
- Follow our progress. We will update our fundraising successes here as we count down to December.
Contributions to Ecosystem Marketplace are processed through our parent company, Forest Trends. As a 501c3 organization, that means your donation is tax deductible. Once you submit your donor information, a member of the Ecosystem Marketplace Carbon Program will contact you to confirm. If we are unable to achieve our fundraising goal, all contributions will be promptly refunded.

This past weekend was incredibly busy for me and mini-me. Well, I was more like the taxi mom. I can honestly say that I'm glad that this weekend has past, but I'm so proud of Dove with all of her extra-curricular activities.
She's been in intense rehearsals for the musical, "Once Upon a Mattress," based off of "The Princess and the Pea." She auditioned for the Children's Theatre of Charlotte and was cast in this particular production. It was a small role, but one that kept her onstage throughout the play. She is too funny. When she came onstage, she spotted Shinell and myself and waved inconspicously to us. She was so excited. But, the whole time I tried not to look focus too much on her because as a theatre person, I didn't want her "breaking the fourth wall."
Later, she was onstage trying to give directions to another actor. Again, the drama in me was sitting there screaming to myself, "Stop it! Focus!" Amazingly, after watching me teach drama for years she still forgets the rudimentary fundamental - don't break character! But, she was cute!
Then, we rushed over to her final presentation at King's Daughters. It was an academy for girls and this year's theme was on the arts. Dove chose to focus on visual arts and it was such a cute event! KD girls danced, performed a skit and again, the visual arts gallery crawl. They also received certificates. I was thoroughly impressed.
But, I'm sooooo glad that this weekend is over! Whew! Did I mention that I am sooo proud of her!
