Just in time for the new year LX received their 3rd A320 NEO today, HB-JDC. I also noticed that the restriction for the A220's not to fly higher than 28'000 Feet was lifted recently, looks like they could fix the issues with the engines. I wondered when thats gonna be the case, it took quite a whil...
Jump to postWell IIRC HEL was axed because an aircraft was needed for an added frequency on the HAM route against Easyjet. I'd love to see LX back at HEL (when I took the route the flight was rather full on both segments).
Jump to postThat is truly impressive! I remember seeing a few years ago a similar video: home-made balloon fitted with cameras, lifted off, climbed to a high altitude where it nearly (and I mean NEARLY) missed an SWISS A320. I think it was in eastern France. Scary, but fascinating too...

Jump to postWhat are the rules and regulations of such passes? E.g. in case of an overbook, are pass-holders the first ones left behind? What classes are you booked in?
