Where are you going?

That was a photo from May, but I was going to Barcelona

Oh ok

Also props for not going to LAX for a direct flight like everyone does.
Though LAX is 2 hours from you.

Even here in OC. People drive to LAX when they could just get the same flight from SNA. Sometimes even LGB or ONT.

Going to BCN from SAN or LAX is roughly the same price

But if you wanted to go to Manila from LAX instead of SAN it would be at least $400 cheaper :joy:

Interesting.

If I flew to Tokyo I’d rather drive 2 hours to SAN than go through LAX.

And Taiwan I’d obviously go to ONT over LAX any day.

And it’s a -312 - why am I even surprised?

Now imagine if it was a -311…

The -313X, which already got a thrust bump, is still nonetheless notorious for being underpowered.

A340-300 is good.

I don’t care what people think.

It wasn’t supposed to be underpowered anyways.
Airbus just built an aircraft that needed engines that weren’t developed yet. So they had to choose those ones instead.

They meant for different ones but the technology wasn’t there.

Gotta love San Diego when you plane spot. Of course, the fence is there, but it’s still good :sweat_smile:

Not my problem that Airbus trusted a manufacturer who couldn’t deliver their promise

Still.
They’ve made more good engines than bad. Can’t say the same for GE and RR
