TikTok User Cooks a Steak In a Plane Lavatory
A TikTok user has been slammed after a video emerged of the man cooking a steak in a Delta plane lavatory. Retweeted by Southwest, the now-deleted (apparently fake) TikTok video begins by stating “they don’t have hot meals anymore on airplanes, so I came up with a solution”.
The stunt saw Marcus Munroe, a New York prankster, pretend to use canned heat (powered by smokeless ethanol gel) within the toilet bowl. He then lays down an aluminium grilling sheet across the seat, puts the steak on the grill and drizzles some white wine for it to marinade in.
My Aviation Collection + Thanksgiving Giveaway
As an AvGeek, I collect just about anything related to commercial aviation. I have just recently moved house, while doing so I made the decision to share with you some of my aviation collection.
I collect airplane models that I flew on as a passenger. Most of my models are GeminiJets, in both 1:200 and 1:400 scale. I decorate the showcase with models and include some of the flight certificates in the background.
Qantas to Operate Non-Stop Flight Between Europe and Australia
Qantas plan to reinvigorate their old routes throughout December, as part of the Australian Government’s efforts to repatriate thousands of citizens stranded in Europe.
Beginning in mid-December this latest round of repatriation flights will aim to bring home some of the 36,000 Australians, who have indicated that they want to return to Australia. Working in conjunction with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Qantas will fly the returning travellers to Darwin, where they will undertake two weeks of mandatory quarantine.

Video: An AvGeek’s Home – My Aviation Collection
As an AvGeek, I collect just about anything related to commercial aviation. I have just recently moved house, while doing so I made the decision to share with you some of my aviation collection.
I collect airplane models that I flew on as a passenger. Most of my models are GeminiJets, in both 1:200 and 1:400 scale. I decorate the showcase with models and include some of the flight certificates in the background. I have hundreds of airline amenity kits from traveling and many sets of sleepwear.
I adore tableware with airline logos, but not the generic ones. I also collect in-flight menus from the flights I have been on. Some of them are rare or one of a kind; such as the inaugural A350-1000 flight on Qatar Airways, the last breakfast menu on EL AL B747-400 and the flight menu from Hello Kitty flights on EVA Air. On my book shelve, I have a varied collection of aviation books and this includes my latest book Air747.
Apart from my collection, my new home boost a great view over Dubai Airport. I can easily do plane spotting from my balcony. Watch the amazing view from the roof top of my building with sweeping view of Dubai city and Dubai Airport.
