I’ve finally managed to assemble the entire fleet of airplanes I flew during my trip to Thailand. Here are some pictures, for anyone who’s interested:
Here’s an overview of the fleet. There’s an Eva Air B747-400, Airbus A330-200, and B777-300ER, an Emirates 777-300, and an Alaska Airlines 737-900.
A closeup of the Alaska 737-900. Alaska was the official launch customer for this latest version of the venerable 737. This was my first flight on a B737-900, and I flew this bird from SEA-LAX.
Eva’s new and immaculate B777-300ER. Those engines are huge and they’re specatular (and also the most powerful turbofans in the world). This was my first flight on a B777-300ER; I flew this bird from BKK-TPE.
My (and Eva’s) first A330-200. I’m not a huge fan of Airbus, but the A330-200 had quite a few creature comforts that I’ll admit Boeing’s planes seem to lack. I flew this bird from TPE-BKK.
No Asian airline is complete without a 747 for transoceanic routes. To prove it is a -400, you can make out a winglet just above the vertical stabilizer. I flew this bird from LAX-TPE and TPE-SEA.
This was my first flight on Emirates, and its high marks for service are truly well-deserved. As an added bonus, it was the first time I’d flown on a B777-300. I flew this bird from BKK-HKG.
Yeah, this is probably my favorite model in my collection right now (although I do have rarer and more expensive ones…)
