3 X UA 744's in SYD today.

Hi folks,

I was on the Airside Tarmac Tour today (which was tremendous ) and on my travels saw 3 x UA 744's - 2 x at terminal & 1 x holding area opposite.

Do they have 3 x daily now or was this an extra as a replacement for a/c gone mechanical??

If anyone can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it

PS: Such a disgrace that Mac Bank have insisted on closing this fantastic tarmac tour....

Cheers

Nadia,

iUnited at the moment are only twice daily. the thirsd one by the looks of the sydney airport website is UA839 delayed from yesterday.

Hi Stefan,

I thought they only had 2 x scheduled daily at present!

Many thanks for your insight

I too was on today's tour. I was organising a group of 9 other roudy goers aboard the bus today.

WOW that's cool!

I was sitting right up front l/h/s with my mate Andrew who is my neighbour & QF short haul cabin crew. We had so much fun!!

Now I recall you & the group you we with, hope you all had a ball.
Wasn't it just the best tour ??.... I was orgasmic

Going past that DL 777 was so majestic, she's brand new I believe.
Sitting between the runways & watching the QF A3fatty take off was cool too.
Loved all that eye candy

I wish I lived there....

Cheers,

The third UA 744 was still at the stand off bay at around 6pm today...

Looking at the Syd airport website it looks to be deparrting as UA9817 to LA tomorrow.

I was on the Tarmac tour as well and was curious why there was an extra United flight.

I was also curious about the Delta flight. It pushed back from the freight terminal and then took off. I pressume passengers weren't loaded from there!

It's not uncommon for pax to be loaded at the freight.

....well after all, in some circles they are known as "self loading freight"
