At one point, I used to fly from BRS/BHX to EDI. I am sure passports were scanned when going through security. No such checks in the UK for domestic flights (unless you have bags to check, then someone will have a quick look at the check-in counter). There are no checks in the UK at security even f...
Jump to postEK also have 2 77X freighter flights per week (days 3 and 6) from LHR-DWC with good slot times. I know they are looking to add another one too if they can.
Jump to postOne of them is for VS as you can see from the wingtips.
Jump to postWill the first deliveries be for the LHR or LGW fleets?
I always thought the priority was to replace the 744s at LGW.
While it is sad that BA are closing the HKG base (and it can be argued this would be to the detriment of passengers), we don't know how the crew will be compensated, so all the outrage regarding BA's commercial decision and treatment of the employees should be toned down a little. On one hand it suc...

Could it be a way to kill any chances of Norwegian further expanding from the UK to the US? Why would you, as a consumer, want higher fares? Not only does Norwegian itself offer lower fares (in return for a simplified product), but it also forces full-service operators to lower (at least some) pric...
Jump to postVS seem to be really struggling. Not a week goes by at the moment where they don’t have some sort of MIA sale. They’ve given away return tickets for £50 recently if you find a VS flight attendant at Waterloo Station and say the words “Screw it, let’s do it!” They have also offered discounted award t...
Jump to postWith the suites in First going from 12 to six, and probably moving upstairs, it'll be in interesting to see if they go two rows of 1-1-1. Great news that SQ are endorsing the A380, passengers' favourite long-hauler, and refreshing it with new cabins. It is my understanding that it will be a single ...
Jump to postThanks for the report. What happened to G-MEDM? I thought this had the flat seats up front or are they re configuring these to short haul now?
Jump to postThe F experience at T3 is not up to the same standard as T5. The main difference is the lack of the Concorde Room. At T3 the best you get is a private dining area in the normal Galleries First lounge that is open to OW Emeralds. It is definitely not as exclusive. The other difference is that at T5 y...

Thanks for the report. Threw me a bit to start with but then I realised it was from a few years ago.

Is this not just a temporary cancellation while the aircraft undergo D checks? Cancelling the flight for the winter would make sense as it would allow both frames to undergo their checks and be ready to resume 2x daily service in March. I'm guessing the aircraft haven't had D checks yet and would be...
