Looks similar to the airbus prototype livery. I hope that's not the new CI. I heard the are going to make the Main brand more similar to the group brands but that is definitly one step to far.

Jump to postReading the intra europe widebody flghts topc, I have seen that some users flew LGW-AMS. I tried to book both LHR-AMS and LGW-AMS, but on the garuda side its not bookable. Also googe flights does not offer the flight. Any ideas how to book it?
Jump to postMy mission this year is to fly on the 717. So my question: what's the easiest way. I know volotea operates them, but do they operate them out of MUC (my preference would be bourdeaux)? Alternatively I would try volotea out of luxemburg. If anyone knows an easier alternative, your help would be appre...

Jump to postAs I have been on the flght as a kid and it was a multiple stop - does anyone know the routing of KL805 (1st of April 1982) and KL806 (15th of April). Further, as I know the date, would anyone have the resources to get the registration of that particular 747.
Thank you and best Regards,

Jump to postPersonally I think without Emirates, the aviation world look completely different. It could mean that the legacy carriers would have leaned more towards the 380 or the 748 and less towards the 777-300ER. For example in my hometown <acronym title="Dusseldorf - International (Rhein-Ruhr / Lohausen) (D...

This company is weakening its position - they are leaving their brand roots - be it the new low cost, the new claim "nonstop you" or "score".

Jump to postSQ definitely has to work on the interrior moodlight component (compare virgin or emirates). It just looks so plain in that white light and it misses an emotional component. It looks like you can do heartsurgera in there but definitely not like a habitat to feel well in.
