Jump to postNext I decide to head airside - well at least try. I manage to put all the stuff including my belt etc. on the trays before the security officer checking my boarding pass says that I’m too early - apparently they only allow passengers for a single flight to go thru at once (the reason for which I wi...
Jump to post<b>Introduction</b> Low cost carriers (LCCs for short) - love them or loathe them, but you have to admit they’ve changed the airline industry more than any other phenomenon within the last ten or so years.

Jump to postHiya F, Good to read this second part too. Everything I said about the first part applies also here. I'm quite surprised to see snow in Belarus this early, though!

Jump to postHi Lukey-laddie, Absolutely fantastic stuff! You know I love your witty and very verbose writing style to death.

Jump to postHi <acronym title="Polynesian Airlines (Samoa)">PH</acronym>, Nice one again, some good pictures from the Taipei 101 and around, shame the weather wasn't the greatest.
