Re: Egyptair dumps A220 fleet

I flew on Egyptair's A220-300 last year on MS628 from Baghdad to Cairo. Aircraft itself was comfortable, but cabin was already showing signs of wear which was surprising given the aircraft SU-GFG was only 3yrs old. It was a basic flight, poor food, and no IFE. I like the A220 shame MS couldn't make ...

Re: London International Airport (YXU) poised for growth, including direct flights to the U.S. and Europe

Interesting part about the below breakdown is that in the YUL-MCO fare approx. 62% of the $126.85 taxes/fees are US based. The customs tax/fee play Canada-USA vs. USA-USA (via DTW, but others, too) is overwhelming. It just hammers any possible U.S. routes from YXU or YHM. DTW's advantage in destinat...
