Nice report thank you. That breakfast looks tasty.
Jump to postI'm in my mid-60s, my children in their early 40s, and they still are my "little boy and girl". One of the saddest days of my life was at my father's funeral a little over 14 months ago when I fully realized he was gone. That I was now "Mr Fields" and my brothers and sisters loo...

Jump to postGood luck SmithAir747.
I was in the grounds of King's College two weeks ago, so your post brought back some memories.
Much success to you.
Fantastic report.
Thank you very much for posting.
I work in Hemel Hempstead on Eaton Road to be accurate (about half a mile from the depot) and pass the depot every morning on my commute from London. My work's building has been substantially damaged and they told me by phone that we can not return until further notice. Who knows when, maybe not thi...
Jump to postSuch sad news.
A very brave lady who fought a brave fight. Mo was just like any person you'd meet on the street. No heirs and graces, no vanity, just down to earth.
R.I.P Mo. You'll be greatly missed.

Jump to postI have often wondered how you guys in the USA (particularly Floridians) cope with this type of oppressive weather.

Jump to postJuly 1974 :
Cyprus Airways. London Heathrow - Nicosia Int,
I was about 6 years old and am guessing it was a Trident or 707.
First flight I can really remember was
Summer 1978
Olympic Airways. London Heathrow - Athens. B-707.

Jump to postI was driving around Marble Arch when this all kicked off. I did not know a bomb had gone off at Edgware Raod (2 minutes away from where I was) until the traffic ground to a hault with the influx of emergency vehicles. I sat stationary for a good 30 minutes, until I followed other drivers in turning...
Jump to postLOL. I once sat in the isle hoping the 2 seats next to me would stay unoccupied as the flight to Larnaca was about 4.5 hours. No luck. Two young men dressed very smartly in their business suits bothered me to move so they could get in. I thought <acronym title="CSA Czech Airlines">OK</acronym> they'...
Jump to postI'm here in central London right now and it's mayhem. Total mayhem. No amount of terrorist attack will ever stop London from moving forward and going about our lives. There is a strong spirit here and that will never be broken. Thank you all for your words. They are really appreciated at this terrib...
Jump to postRegarding Larnaca Airport, I must agree they do need to do something. The airport itself isn't too bad but it's bursting at the seams. It just wasn't built for that many passengers. For example the air conditioning. They have <acronym title="Air Canada">AC</acronym>, but there are so many people in ...
Jump to postGreat report and thanks for the pictures. Looks like a great little place.
Jump to postHello All. I'm not a frequent flyer. As a result do not understand this phenomenon. I looked up a flight today for London Heathrow to Larnaca in Cyprus. Found a reasonable price for the dates I wanted. Phoned British Airways only to be told the price was actually far higher (£200 more). Told them ab...
Jump to postI joined on May 19th 1999.
Haven't posted since last October though.
I remember some posters from those days. flyf15, Mirage, L1011 (Bob Bradley) Do these guys still post? Anybody remember a poster called "dk" and whatever happened to Hmmmmm............?
I have driven from London to Athens in Greece 4 times. On two occasions I continued via ferry to Limassol in Cyprus. I did it twice in a Mercedes once in a Toyota and once in a Fiat Uno (that was a real struggle) I have returned the same way on all occasions except the last time when I flew back and...
Jump to postI was at work. Rumours were rife as to the details (we only had one very antique radio that had not been switched on since Princess Diana died) I slipped out to my car to hear what was really happenning. My journey home only took 45 minutes (instead of the usual 90 minutes). Probably because everybo...
Jump to postMine happened about three years ago. I was minding my own business dawdling along a rather busy high street.

Jump to postI was at work that day. 20 miles outside London, UK. It was a normal day, nothing special. At about 1420 a co-worker who listens to the radio on his walkman told me "a plane has crashed into the WTC" This co-worker and I don't really like each other that much, so I though, Hmmm, this must be importa...

Jump to postGreat report!!
I'll never get to fly on this wonderfull plane, but at least I can come back and read your experience.
My local chinese restaurant only takes cash. It's hard to miss the huge sign on the door "CASH ONLY" Right next to the sign. "If you overfill your carton, we'll charge you twice" The take-away buffet is great, but for Godsake don't let any noodles hang out of the box or you pay twice! To get back to...
Jump to postI find cemetaries very peacefull places. I have always said that there is nothing in a cemetary that can hurt you. The folks in there didn't hurt you when they were alive, they certainly will not hurt you now. I go to the crematorium at least twice a week. I go to my mothers grave to make sure it is...
Jump to postThanks Demoose.
BA are not advertising this new route very well at all. I know a lot of people that would fly direct to Paphos instead of going to Larnaca and then driving across the island (myself included)
I have read that <acronym title="British Airways">BA</acronym> plan to start a service to Paphos, Cyprus in October. According to their website it will run twice weekly. That was about three weeks ago. I haven't been able to find anything about this on the net since. Anybody else heard about this ro...

Also that CRAPPY Titanic theme screeched out by Celine Dion.
I had a lower wisdom removed in May 2002. I put it off for about 3 years, but it just had to come out. I was awake throughout, but it needed 9 injections to finally get the area numb. It is horrible when they say "ok now you're numb, we can begin" only to feel everything as they break the tooth into...
Jump to postSadly, I have never seen them in person.
Oddly enough I was watching an old episode of Cagney and Lacey on cable just yesterday and noticed the twin towers are in the opening credits. So sad to realise that they are no longer. Two of New York's Finest!! (and I'm not talking about Cagney or Lacey)
I'm a bit like Yrv74. I do not recline my seat ever. I do not like it, so would not do it to others. Last month on a 5 hour flight I had a window seat behind three teenagers. Their seats were fully reclined right after take off and stayed that way. During the meal service they had to lean forward be...
Jump to postThanks guys.
Rick, I should have said that I only stay in Cyprus for one day. Air 2000, JMC and Britannia only offer weekly returns. I guess I could just throw away the return however. Thanks, that's given me something to think about.
It's not just Amsterdam. Heathrow is not too good either.
I passed all the way through to the aircraft without being stopped even once. I offered my bag for inspection, biut was greeted with "What are you waiting for? Just keep moving please" Very polite, but no search!
There are a lot of members here who work in the industry, so my question is why are one way tickets so damned expensive? Example: I flew BA from London to Larnaca return earlier this month for £350. (bit pricy, but ok) I want to go again in November, but the outbound flight is suspended during their...
Jump to postI watched part 1 yesterday. Some of the footage left me cold. The poor souls jumping to their death was just terrible. It was a well put together show.
Jump to postBA's website said "BA no longer serves Paphos". I assumed they once did, but maybe you're right. Cyprus Airways quoted me nearly £700 to Larnaca!!!! Luckily BA were more reasonable at £350. I don't know how CY are still in business. Thanks for the info on the taxi. I was thinking about hiring a car,...
Jump to postThanks, 777236ER. I wanted to fly directly to Paphos, but BA scrapped their flights and Cyprus Airways were asking an ASTRONOMICAL amount for their flight. I have been told it takes one and a half hours by taxi from Larnaca Airport to Paphos. I hope it is not too expensive. I'm sure though whatever ...
Jump to postI never take my shoes off when I get home unless they're soiled. My friends don't either. Except for one who says that it is out of respect for my floors. Quite frankly I'd be more worried if they did. Maybe their socks are dirty. Yuck. Seriously though, it is something I have never thought about to...
Jump to postAny Cypriots on the forum? I'm going to Cyprus in Sept. Will only be on the island for 12 hours, then it is back to UK.

Jump to postThey always remove their shoes before they enter my house. I'm never sure why, but they said it is for respect to my carpets.
