What a great trip report. Great that you got the chance to do that. Growing up and living in West London, seeing the many 747's over the years landing at LHR was always an awsome experience. Was luckky to fly on BA and Virgin's 100 amd 400's over the years. It's not the same anymore with only the oc...
Jump to postReally interesting report.
Loved the details of the short trip, something I would love to do when I have the time.
Not quite the same here in London though.
Great report.
So nice to start seeing trip reports again. Im from the UK and have always wanted to visit little rock.
As soon as the US starts accepting Uk passengers I will be booking a few trips.
What a great report, thank you. Sooooo jealous. I'm from London Uk and love USA. Been to Vegas many times and have also stayed in the Cosmopolitan the last 3 visits. Had a big road trip booked for last year inc San Fran, Yosemite, Death Valley, Las Vegas ans Los Angeles..... but covid ruined that. H...
Jump to postAmazing story, great pictures and lovely liveries & aircraft.
It was so nice back then when planes were good old planes with non of this environmental nonsense.
What a fantastic TR. Thank you.
It's people like you who make this site worth everything.
Well done.
Maybe we can do a simple poll as to whether <acronym title="London - Heathrow (LHR / EGLL), United Kingdom">LHR</acronym> should get a third runway!!

Jump to postLuton used to be such a great place to jet off from on holiday. In the days of Brittania, Monarch Crown Service etc you used to get that real good holiday feeling from the moment you drove up to the terminal. Now the traffic at peak season is horrendous, the car parks are a complete mess with many c...

Jump to postThese so called £1 sale fares have been popping up from time to time so I decided to take a chance (a very big chance) and book one.

Jump to postLoved 'British Airtours' and their tristars back in the 80's
For now though, it has to be Monarch. Fly with them often from Luton to Malaga and Gibralter quite often. Always on time but much prefer their 757's to A320's
