  • You might not have heard of Tajikistan's flag carrier. And unless you want to fly to Tajikistan you probably don't need to. But we made a Tripreport about them anyway!

    Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Video und die Arbeit die dahinter steckt! Es sind viele Erinnerungen hochgekommen, da ich drei Jahre in Dushanbe gelebt habe und fast nur mit Somon Air geflogen bin. Die Strecke DYU-FRA war meine Hauptroute allerdings war es zum Schluss meiner Zeit in Tadschikistan, angenehmer via DME nach Deutschland zu reisen da der Flug nach Frankfurt nur einmal die Woche ging. Also, nochmals vielen Dank für den „Tripreport“!

      Apple Fan Boy yes, you can but it is not a daily flight. Austrian Airlines flies to EVN only 3 times a week. Low coaster WizzAir also has a nonstop flight. These are the only 2 airlines that offer a nonstop flight between VIE and EVN.

      Not really. Dushanbe is a little high, but not enough to make it a problem to take off, especially with a 737, and the runway is more than long enough. What probably happened was the opposite of what you were thinking: when there is plenty of runway length, pilots often accelerate less during the takeoff run and make it longer on purpose to spare the engines.

    respect to you Felix but why do we "expect" a hot meal for a 4hours flight? back in the 80's we'd get one but really why ?if you can't go 4 hours without food something is wrong ,ok some do connect flights so no time but the airlines know who they are so give them something to eat ,if your next to someone who has this and you think why not me ?tough s-it !flights are so cheap now people expect far to much for short haul !! i'd just want to get there then relax by the hotel pool or sightseeing them a lovely diner/lunch etc, by the way you never drink alcohol?

      On Iberia it is the same.(Which is no surprise since they both belong to IAG.)
