Viking Names Its Newest Ship “Neptune” In Los Angeles
Viking Neptune, the company’s newest ocean liner, was named during a ceremony in Los Angeles. Nicole Stott, a retired NASA astronaut, aquanaut, and artist, gave the ship a blessing of good fortune and safe sailing as part of the occasion. The 930-guest ship has embarked on the company’s 138-day 2022/2023 world cruise, which will visit 28 countries and 57 ports while staying overnight in 11 cities. In April, Viking Cruise Line will also receive another new ocean ship, Viking Saturn. The Neptune has a small hydrogen fuel system, making it the “first ship in the cruise industry to test the use of hydrogen power for on-board operations,” according to the company. These tests will assess whether hydrogen fuel can be employed on a greater scale in future construction. “Today is a special day for the Viking family as we name our newest ocean ship in Los Angeles, the home of Viking’s US headquarters for more than 20 years,” said Viking chairman Torstein Hagen. Viking Neptune is a ship named after our solar system’s furthest planet and the god of the sea. “We are thankful for her numerous contributions to the scientific world and are delighted to have her as part of the Viking family,” says our newest godmother, Nicole Stott, a NASA astronaut and aquanaut. “It is an honour and joy to be Neptune’s godmother,” Stott said. As someone who has had the opportunity to go to space, the seas, and exotic locations on our globe, I realise the value of widening one’s horizons through travel. “I am excited for everyone travelling across the world on this magnificent vessel.”
Delta Ups Sydney Los Angeles Flights
Delta Air Lines has upped the stake on the Sydney-Los Angeles route by increasing its nonstop schedule to 10 flights per week starting 16 December 2022. The flights will be operated using Delta’s flagship Airbus 350-900 aircraft, featuring Delta One suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin amenities. From Los Angeles, Delta passengers can access nearly 50 destinations across the Americas and the Caribbean. Flight Operating Day Day Of Operation Aircraft DL40 Sydney – Los Angeles Daily A350-900 DL42 Sydney – Los Angeles Tue, Fri, Sun A350-900 DL41 Los Angeles – Sydney Daily A350-900 DL43 Los Angeles – Sydney Wed, Fri, Sun A350-900 The news comes as Delta prepares to open its expanded security checkpoint and baggage claim area to passengers on 20 April 2023. A new check-in and luggage drop area with a digital back wall stretches 250 feet of the building. It provides travellers with English and Spanish directions, information about the Delta Sky Club, and gate details. On 20 April, seven of the facility’s fourteen security lanes will open to the public for business; by late summer, all lanes in the United States will serve customers. With the completion of the Delta Sky Way at LAX project in 2023, Terminals 2 and 3 will be consolidated into a 1.2-million-square-foot, state-of-the-art, 27-gate complex, providing an easy-to-navigate customer journey and connecting Terminals 2 and 3 to the Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B), allowing quick airside connections to Delta and other airlines. Delta is also making strides in social impact by offering new goods on board that support the airline’s long-term goals of sustainability and equity while also providing premium, wellness-focused experiences. The new amenity kits for Delta One, made by Mexican clothing designer “Someone Somewhere”, are made from locally sourced, regenerated cotton and do away with five plastic elements, including zips and packaging. The ecological bedding offered to Delta One guests is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles.
Qantas Removes The A380 From Melbourne-Los Angeles
According to the most recent wave of schedule changes washing across Qantas’ calendar, anyone intending to travel first class on the superjumbo next year between Melbourne and Los Angeles may have crushed their dreams of high flying. This indicates that the airline will not introduce the Airbus A380 into the trans-Pacific route beginning in late March of 2023 as previously scheduled. The reliable Boeing 787 Dreamliner now takes up the QF93/QF94 daily slot. Business class and premium economy seats on the A380 and Dreamliner are interchangeable. Still, the 787 lacks the superjumbo’s 14 first-class suites and the upper deck “premium lounges” where business and first-class passengers may unwind with a drink. Qantas’ downsizing to the Dreamliner will add more pressure to the ongoing capacity squeeze caused by a mismatch between the number of travellers and the number of available seats in the sky, as the double-decker A380 carries significantly more passengers than the Boeing 787, including an extra 28 business class seats and a double-sized premium economy cabin. Also, starting in late March, if you have a connecting flight, especially to the US east coast, it may be a challenge; QF93’s departure will be in the late evenings, departing Melbourne at 8.25 pm and arriving at LAX at 5.45 pm. According to the market update released on10 October, Qantas said that the move was part of a “cautious approach to scheduling” designed to ensure that more planes could be “called upon to prevent delays and cancellations.” Qantas and Jetstar said they would have as many as ten narrow-body, six wide-bodies, and four regional aircraft available at the time. The extra expense is anticipated to be short-lived, and the capacity may be brought back gradually as confidence grows. While five further superjumbos are expected back in the Qantas hangars by December 2023, the few that have already returned from desert slumber are still being used on the company’s principal Sydney-Los Angeles and Sydney-London routes. The QF37/QF38 service between Melbourne and Singapore has been reduced to three weekly flights as part of the same batch of schedule modifications, while the resumption of Sydney’s service to San Francisco has been postponed until May.
American Airlines to restart Sydney– Los Angeles flights from next week
After a five-month pause, American Airlines is relaunching service between Sydney (SYD) and Los Angeles (LAX), resuming a daily flight to connect citizens from Down Under to North American destinations. Departing Sydney 29 October, the route will coincide with the start of the 2022–23 winter flying season and caters to the increasing number of Australians looking to travel to Los Angeles, both as a destination and as a gateway to other parts of the United States, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. “Over recent months, we’ve seen the demand for North American flights from Asia-Pacific growing in popularity and competition. We’re excited to return to Australia as a challenger airline, providing customers with great service, fares and experiences for a key market for American,” said Kyle Mabry, American’s Vice President of Operations and Commercial, EMEA & APAC. American will operate its Boeing 787-9 aircraft on the SYD–LAX route, offering three cabins, including 30 Flagship® Business seats, 21 Premium Economy seats and 234 Main Cabin seats. American also offers codeshare service between SYD and LAX operated by oneworld alliance partner, Qantas.
