Glideslope of two runways go approximately over my house/area.... i still look up with i hear jet engines!! LOL

Lol, I will go to KLAS and look at the planes fly in over my head, or when I'm at the batting cages.

Sometimes when it's really windy here in Vegas, you can see the planes fly in all twisty.

Its not that bad here... my house is atleast 15 kilometres away and the wind changes a lot so the actives are always changing.

4. Whenever you take a trip, usually you look forward to the flight more than the destination.

I dont have to move from my garden to see aircraft fly into Cork. Im 30km from the airport and the wind never really changes because Runway 35 faces the coast and the wind blows that way so the active is always 17 and the approach is right over my house. Unfortunately only a few airlines fly into Cork wich is a shame because its a beautiful airport and a beautiful county and city

Aww poor you:P

I've seen a 380 go by while i was driving home the other day I think it was emirates.

21: You collect airplane models

KUL airport is 60km away but lucky for me, planes always fly over my house for the approach and also takeoff. Depending on the time of the day, different types of aircraft can be spotted (ie 747s mostly at night and dawn, 777 mostly morning and night, 737 and 320 all day round)

Occasionally a Qantas 747 (distinguished by its red rear end) and an A380 (dunno which airline's) flying high above the clouds, probably beginning to descend into SIN

No BA aircraft?

[9M-TKS]

I'm surprised BA doesn't fly to at least most of its domestic destinations, considering them being the flag carrier!

Btw, an interesting sight over KUL today: a BIMAN Bangladesh DC10

[BritAbroad]

BA doesn't do regional flights because there isn't enough demand for them to do it, simply put.
They weren't profitable for them in the past, and to make them profitable, BA would have to deviate and adjust its business model. We have an extensive road and rail network in this country, and we're quite small, so sadly, only LCCs or FlyBE style prop airlines are competitive.

[BritAbroad]

In an ideal world, yes, but something tells me its unlikely.

[9M-TKS]

I thought BA has a regional wing, BA Cityflyer or something

22. You get easily bored when you aren't talking about airplanes. (or is that just me?)
