RE: Maldives Trip - Day 1: The Epic Journey Begins!
haha! Thanks :) Yeah it was insane how big those planes are.. It was slightly worrying at take off as the wings bend and bounce quite a lot but they are very strong and robust.
The plane that landed us at the maldives was much smaller, a 777. The runway in the maldives is a standard runway size, but there are not taxi ways, so the plane has to taxi down the runway and turn around before it can take off, and of course that stops any other planes from queueing up or landing .. they don't have that many flights incoming so its not a big problem.
First class is the dream! ;)
You will see dream come true :) And bending wings? Do not care about it, They will never fall away as i was reading somewhere that with all the fuel they consist 80 or more percent of the total weight of the plain. ant that are not attached to a fuselage like we imagine, but are rather built both wings actually being one wing and fuselage sitting on top of it :)
