Any advise on how to enter a diverted flight? I was on a DL flight to ATL last night that got diverted to BHM due to weather/lack of fuel. We weren't let out of the airplane. Nor did we officially pull into a gate. We sort of just sat in the corner for 2 hours waiting. Does this count as a visit to BHM? I don't suppose DL is going to give me any extra miles, but we did watch the safety video twice. :D

Seriously though, any thoughts? The normally 1:29 flight took nearly 6 hours of my life so I would really like to document something. Thanks. :cool:

UA used to offer that route for sale.

It didn't involve a big rubberband and hang gliders, did it? :D

I had a diversion to ABQ a couple of months ago on an ATL-LAS flight that I entered as ATL-ABQ and ABQ-LAS. We did officially pull into a gate (hooked up the jetway, etc.) which was how the paramedics entered the plane to get the sick F/A off the plane, but we were not allowed off the plane.

F/As did a quickie version of the safety demo (since, at least at the time, all the ex-TWA 757s were doing manual demonstrations).

It was like some "direct" flights that I've been on that I did not bother getting off the plane and counted those, so I figured this would count as well.

You can search FAA N-Numbers here.

Using this tool, the first one comes back to a Dassault Falcon - not an AA plane.

The last two are not valid N-numbers. You can see the criteria here, but in short, as you can have a maximum of two alpha characters at the end of the N-number, the last two clearly are invalid.

Did these come from the side of actual AA planes? If so, my guess is there's a transcription error somewhere.

Also, I assume you know that AA doesn't fly any 727's anymore.

The poster's questions (and yours ;)) have been answered in this thread:

AA Tail Numbers

Now I get it! @:-) Thanks.

Thanks, mersk862. :cool:

Flightmemory for mobile!

Currently available for Premium members only. It works on my BB Curve and Pearl

http://mobile.flightmemory.com

The only problem I see so far is that you can only be logged in with one device at a time. (Unlike FT, where you can be logged in mobile and desktop)

Thanks, guys!

Is the site down for everyone?

http://www.flightmemory.com

I just tried it, and can't get into it either...

Just worked for me.

+1

+2

Must have been a temporary glitch.

They are back with a new design !! ^

Really? I haven't been able to add my latest flight yet. I've tried it from 2 differents computers, I've typed www.flugstatistik.com as well, but to no avail. I guess I'll have to be patient and keep checking... :confused:

PS: When I just previewed the above post, I clicked on "My Flight Memory" and could open it (still the old design), but I can't sign in. Weird!

Looks like the same to me. :confused:

Only www.flugstatistik.com has get a new layout. www.flightmemory.com has still the same layout.

Niether are working for me at the moment.

Both sites are working for me. FlugStatistik has the new design if you log in.

Yes, both sites are working.

Niether are currently working for me (can't find server), but everythign else on the itnernet seems to be. Odd.

Maybe you have a problem with a proxy server setting ?

Neither site is working for me. Like the earlier poster, the whole of the rest of the internet is fine - I wouldn't know what a proxy server setting is to have done anything to it to create a problem.

It's really crazy, just added two minutes ago my last flights to my account on www.flugstatistik.de - it's really working !!

Works for me, but what's new? Both flightmemory and flugstatistik look exactly the same as before. :confused:

Still nothing. It may have to do with our location... :confused:

FlightMemory problems since Friday: German DNS servers were under attack
 

Hi!

Just a quick note to all who were wondering. Since Friday, many smaller sites like our FlightMemory/FlugStatistik were not available as one of the major provider of the German backbones, United Internet / InternetX, was under attack:
They claim 40.000 hosts were hit by a DDoS with a bandwith of 20 Gbit/s...
Since Monday morning, CET, the problems seem to be taken care of.
For more information on the background:

For those who speak German:

New design of FlugStatistik login-page
 

Only the login-page of FlugStatistik has a slight redesign as we can now offer German aviation news for our German speaking users, as we have made a fortunate contact with one of Germanies top aviation magazines.
We are of course interested in achieving similar for the US/English users, but we think, this will take until Spring 2009...if anyone of you has contacts...you are always welcomed to share :)

So no new design - just a slight reordering of the German login page.

Have fun!

Thanks for the information !! ^

It works now! ^ Thank you.

I thought I noticed that the route lines are thicker on the German Preview page?

That is just one buggy preview page we never changed....funny - it is there since the start :confused:
Anyway - bolder lines only appear for the PremiumUsers on frequently flown routes...on both FlugStatistik and FlightMemory.

Thanks, didn't know either of those facts.

Perhaps it's just my ineptness, but has anyone else been able to pull up stats for the now defunct Aloha Airlines from the BTS site? I'm looking for data from June 2005.

Weird...

Just for fun, I accessed www.flugstatistik.com and entered my account and password. I got someone else's information (The same person) three straight times.

Hmmm....

I just checked - if I login to your account on FlugStatistik the German Terms of Service appear - as long as you do not accept them, you cannot get to your stats.
So it either was a bug or maybe you confused the German yesterday-map with a users stats? I am not sure...let me know, if it occurs again.
Normally each user can login on both sites...

Here's a question for the populace:

This past weekend, I was booked on a Delta Connection (opb Mesaba) CRJ-900 from MSP to SLC. Boarding pass had a DL flight number, checked in at the DL counter, flight was handled by DL staff, etc. (trying to make it clear this was a DL flight).

Now, Mesaba is a new DL Connection carrier - they only have 1-2 CRJs painted in DL c/s - the rest are in NW c/s. So I get on the plane, which is painted in NW colors. F/A refers to the flight as a NW Airlink flight. WorldTraveler is in the seatback pocket. Looks like it'll be NW service on board.

However, there were some weight and balance issues, and being the FTer that I am, opted to give up 500 EQMs and 1000 RDMs for a confirmed F seat via CVG and a $400 voucher (I figure $400 can get me a lot more than 500 EQMs/1000 RDMs).

However, would you record this as a DL flight or a NW flight in your FlightMemory? It's possible another situation like this might occur this weekend, since I'm probably going to take another DL Connection/Mesaba flight from SLC to MSP this weekend.

I wouldn't record it at all if I didn't take the flight.

Did the flight also carry a NW flight number? If so, I would probably record it as a NW flight, but I think it's down to personal preference.

I'm not recording that flight since I didn't take it, but I'm prepping myself in case the same situation arises on Sunday at SLC - my guess is that it'll be a NW Airlink painted plane sitting at the gate, not the DL painted plane (strictly a numbers thing).

I guess I'll wait to see what the inflight service is. If it's Pepsi products and meals in F, then I'll call it NW. If it's Coke and snack basket, then I'll call it DL.
