I'm just back from a FRA-HER-FRA vacation with the family (on Condor, outbound on July 11th, inbound on July 20th). For the outbound, as we had an early departure (5am) we used Condor's previous day check-in which was very straightforward and relaxed. On the morning of the flight, passing security a...
Jump to postI would love to know what the security situation is like. My understanding is a foreigner can’t really walk around unescorted without fear of kidnap, violence etc. I’d love to see Algiers but every time I raise the suggestion with an Algerian they tell me it isn’t really a good idea. Also, this air...
Jump to postWhy Air Astana to Egypt? :roll: I'm no expert on the topic, but I was in Almaty (Kazakhstan) last week and noticed quite a few advertisements for Egyptian resorts, in particular Sharm El Sheikh (your link mentions an ALA-SSH flight).

Jump to postWell this flight is only 8 km shorter than the CDG-LHR crew familiarization flights that AF did when they introduced the A380 into their fleet. As I remember, those were available to the general public. Certainly, such short segments cannot be a good application for an aircraft that was never design...

Jump to postBaggage storage was a problem in the open rear cabin on the HPJ, so if you had to return to the gate as a secure airport, the thing had to go off to G.A. .
