Its a very poor performance but it doesn't say anything about the 95% of ryan air flights that are performed flawlessly every single day.
Jump to post1. Security. Security is the most annoying thing and the reason I would prefer the train or bus (or, when going to england, the boat) on shorter sections over the airplane if it were at a competitive price. However usually only the bus is. When I wanted to go to Hull the boat was actually at a very ...
Jump to postI don't see anything wrong with the name Norwegian. I really don't think they are losing much traffic because of people thinking that they have to transfer in Norway. They would lose more traffic due to a name change and people not knowing the name had changed. Although I do think that if they merge...
Jump to postI also wonder how he's going to improve the US's infrastructure, while also drastically cutting already-low taxes. The only option would be to have the user pay them. So toll roads, and higher airport landing fees. While this of course already happens, there's only so much toll you can ask before no...
Jump to post15 euros EIN - Timisoara (Romania) return is my cheapest yet, on WizzAir. I was eyeing a 4 euro return fare EIN - DUB, sadly it was gone before I was able to book, was on RyanAir. I instead booked a 34 euro return fare, however it departs from AMS which is much more convenient for me so I am okay wi...
Jump to postIt will be interesting to see how QF will configure their 787-9 for a 19 hour route. Without cargo revenue and a light passenger load, the fares would have to be steep to make it profitable, even with a 787. When connecting to a domestic flight, you have to collect your baggage and go through custo...

Jump to postI think there are many better candidates in North America for non-stop service to LHR. Ottawa is just not a VERY big city and there are other major airports not TOO far from it.
Jump to postWhen I was in Brazil I noticed that there are very many flights with intermediate stops offered. For example one can fly BSB - BEL direct, with a stop in MAB, and there are even flights with various stops en route. Sometimes the airline offers both a direct route with stops and a non-stop. And this ...
Jump to postI think when the OP asked the question he / she ment population wise. I don't think so, otherwise the Netherlands (with a population of over 16 million citizens) would not have been mentioned in the OP. That's far more than Norway or Finland. So we're definitely talking about land area here. Also S...
Jump to postFiji is missing on the list, as a country with only about 1 million inhabitants and a pretty big airline with long flights. I wonder what is the smallest airline - longest route? Must probably be one in the Pacific somewhere. However Surinam Airways is worth mentioning, with only one TATL route (PBM...
Jump to postThere are political movements in my country that want to get rid of double nationalities. But I could flush my brazilian passport down the toilet, I would still be a Brazilian. I can't do anything about it, haha. In fact I had a period in my life where I didn't have the brazilian passport at all (ex...
Jump to postI use my EU passport in most cases, except when entering Brazil then I use that passport. IT allows me to use the quicker immigration line so it's great Also need no visas etc. In fact Brazilian law requires Brazilian citizens to enter using a Brazilian travel document. I also show it when leaving B...
Jump to postKLM doesn't serve any to my knowledge, but having a lowly pea soup or mashed potatoes with cabbage (the epitomes of Dutch cuisine) would be a bit lackluster for business class I suppose. And wine hardly grows here so no possibility for local wines either. Most 'local' thing they sell will be the bee...
Jump to postI would have to dig into my logs, but I think that LH tried that at least wtice. i flew LGW FRA on BCal Bac 1-11s many years ago ad i think even on BA. The best Chance for that route to open again could be easy once they get a deal cut with Fraport. LH serves LHR hourly plus City and that does it f...
Jump to postAll of those flights are very long flights, so it's only logical that people will often take a connecting flight on them.
Jump to postWouldn't it be more likely for Aeroflot to fly to Australia, rather than Finnair? At 7831 nautical miles, SVO is much closer than any (other) European city. Of course Aeroflot has a slightly bad reputation (people seem to think that their planes are full of drunken russians for some reason) and the...
Jump to postIn cities such as Sao Paulo, where one airport is very clearly domestic (CGH), and the other very clearly international with a small amount of domestic flights (GRU), such as system would be much more helpful. I have the idea that inter airport transfers are much more common there. And due to the te...
Jump to postHow big is the number of people transferring between LHR and LGW really ? I have, on this forum, proposed an Airside Bus before, which picks up passengers airside and brings them to the other airport airside, without stopping and without opening its doors (and perhaps carrying some security staff on...

Jump to postIf building an extra runway at LHR would have been so easy it would have already been built by now. The UK is not like China or the US where you can just keep expanding infrastructure and ignore the people complaining about it. In Europe there are all sorts of procedures for those things. Not only a...
Jump to postMalta is absolutely beautiful (very very hot though) and I would love to visit it again !
I went there so many years ago that I don't have a clue what carrier I flew on. I remember having a layover in FRA and in MUC on the way back, so I suspect lufthansa or one of their subcarriers.
Beautiful planes ! I'd love to fly a yak some day.
Jump to postLow cost carriers in Europe are doing the exact same thing, so there's no reason Allegiant wouldn't do it. The difference in tax between two different countries can be very substantial. Looking at their map, they are also flying to several locations very close to the Mexican border (and not only El ...

Hi, For example I have the following situation pricing a trip: 1) $1,700 with UA while I'm Star Alliance Silver status and after that trip probably will be Star Alliance Gold status. 2) $1,300 with some other. Is there a reason for paying extra $400? Thanks, Depends. Is being star alliance gold wor...
Jump to postInteresting report. The load factor on this sector is improving, but the yields for this route, especially for this rather long flight, are not going to be good for Wizz Air anytime soon. TSR is not a tourist destination and the route will only be interesting for people from Romania working in Neth...
Jump to postTo me, a true ULCC has the folloeing characteristics that distinguish them from normal or low cost carriers: Bare, unbundled fares. Only your flight and hand luggage; nothing else. No seat selection , checked bags, meals or drinks. You have to pay extra for those. No traditional frequent flyer progr...

Jump to postImagine the outcry if there were a "male only" service... When men are subjected to the same unwarranted harassment women are, then your post would be valid. When was the last time you were harrassed in a TAXI? I mean, I can understand that women don't want to be walking all alone at nigh...
Jump to postWhy are people always so focused on 'complimentary' things? Because we used to have those things and they were taken away. Almost everything you see someone complaining about having to pay for separately on an airline is something that we used to get as part of the ticket cost. 'We used to have tho...
Jump to postWhy are people always so focused on 'complimentary' things? What, in our psychology, makes an airline meal taste better if you got it 'for free' with your ticket, rather than if you pay for it seperately? It's all just psychology. First, you should think for yourself what kind of service level you w...
Jump to post15 euro return is definitely a bargain - no further excuses is needed for some flying around Europe just for the heck of it. might the airplane in the background be a Saab 340? Both of them are Saab 340's. Based on the remnants of the Estonian livery on the plane on the left, I'm guessing that one ...
Jump to postOccasional smoker here (now, that is. there are periods in which I don't smoke at all, and periods in which I have been a regular smoker) I would be thrilled to be able to smoke on a plane once, are there still domestic flights (maybe in Indonesia or something?) where it is still allowed? Because as...
Jump to postIf it's bookable on one single ticket then they will rebook you in case of a delay.
However if you have to change terminals (and I guess you'll need to) you're gonna have to run, I'm afraid. MAD is BIG and CONFUSING, at least to me.
In hindsight, might the airplane in the background be a Saab 340? As I don't have a good camera I couldn't zoom, and walking closer was sadly not possible. EDIT: It might be more likely that it's an ATR72 from TAROM, as TAROM sometimes operates this aircraft on OTP - TSR. All very exotic and new to ...
Jump to postThis is my first trip report. It's not much in terms of great photo quality, but hey I am only starting and wanted to show a route most people probably have never flown here. This EIN - TSR route started up this spring. It seems like it could be doing better; the plane isn't entirely full , and we p...
Jump to postWorst I had was a very bumpy flight to NAP from BRU, a very long time ago. It was a school trip to italy. Many class mates had never been on an airplane (or so far abroad) before. I remember one of those class mates enjoying it like a roller coaster ride, while many others were scared to death. But ...
Jump to postI actually forgot about some other options, now that I think of it. Alitalia is an option to Brazil which I took a lot of years back, but there's something that strikes me wrong in flying so far the 'wrong way' then back west again (though I suppose that holds true for LH too). AF is also an option,...
Jump to postHaving only done a limited number of flights because I am only a student, of course I can't have a very well based opinion. However I can look at what the alliance offers and what I need (or will need in the future). I am based near AMS and go to Brazil often, so thats my top priority. Within Europe...
Jump to postIt's suprising that they have served the U.K very well but didn't have anything to Ireland until this announcement. What is the chance of ORK getting KL now that they are starting flights to DUB? Indeed I would think ORK much more likely than SNN, though they might as well go full on into the Irish...
Jump to postValencia could refer to Valencia Spain or Valencia Venuzuela, although there's no airport that serves both. Same is the case with St. Louis USA and St. Louis Senegal, the latter seeing no scheduled air service at all. How is this post an addition? There are many cities with the same name, all over ...
Jump to postI like how people, who took a WESTERN meal option on a CHINESE airline, complain about the food here :) Do you also order the chinese option on a western airline, incidentally? There's just some things that you should never order on an airplane (at least in Y, perhaps it's better in J). One of them ...

I thought the standard bagage allowance was either 23 or 32 kilos .
I have the Wizz Air app as I am flying them in a couple of days. But in order to remove the clutter from my phone I'll probably delete it afterwards.
