Yes you may enquire. Did I say my trip was imminent? No, I did not so perhaps you are rather silly for jumping to conclusions. I want to fly on the Iberia A350 from MAD to LHR.

Jump to postIf I’m arriving at MAD from LGW on UX then connecting to a flight to LHR with IB (from T4S), will I need to clear immigration or can I transfer airside?
Jump to postI always thought B6 would give this route a shot once pre-clearance was installed at MAN I don’t think there’ll ever be pre-clearance in the U.K for a number of reasons, but if there was I’d imagine MAN would come in as a second or even third choice. MAN will be top of the list when and if it agree...
Jump to postSo they want to trade 91 10-20 year-old aircraft for 100 brand new ones? If true, another example of Delta's arrogance. Have you never traded in an old car for a new one? You don’t get a new one for free, you get the value of the old one knocked off the price of the new one. Delta would just be doi...

https://visions-international.myshopwir ... hr-issue-1
I'm not sold. MAN sounds a lot better on paper than it does in reality. There's a long list of failed endeavors at MAN. There's a reason BA ceded that market to Thomas Cook and Virgin Atlantic. EI may have a shot with the right sized aircraft, but it's unlikely to be the goldmine a.net hopes it wil...
Jump to postCounting the passengers would have made no difference here. The issue was where they were sitting, not how many there were. You have to question why the cabin crew did not notice something was amiss when they saw how many rows towards the rear of the aircraft were unoccupied. Wizz Air FAs earn betw...
Jump to postWhat are the regulatory requirements for crew verification of W&B in Europe? I had been under the impression that they were pretty stringent based on things like the strident announcement AF made or makes pre-takeoff telling folks to stay in their seats so they can be counted. Counting the pass...
Jump to postHas there been any further news about BA flight 113, which earlier today had to dump fuel and return to Heathrow shortly after takeoff? Just a note on the terminology. Dumping fuel and returning to the airport does not imply an emergency landing. All it means is that they couldn't continue the flig...
Jump to postThey couldn't do Vueling UK as the brand has such an awful reputation while Level has zero recognition. They'd have a tough time competing directly against easyJet which already flies every route under the sun from LGW and has excellent brand recognition. It would be better to create a subsidiary o...

Following the collapse of Flybe, Eastern Airways is now operating Manchester to Southampton in its own right and online booking is open, though strangely they don’t offer online check-in and appear not to offer advance seat selection. Interestingly, the aircraft type for Manchester to Southampton is...
Jump to postMy question is this...will such a short trip be seen as a bit odd or do lots of enthusiasts do this kind of thing? The general public might consider short trips a bit odd, but many aviation enthusiasts see it differently. Two weeks ago I travelled for fun from Amsterdam to Toronto. Stayed two night...
Jump to postI like flying just for the fun of it. I’ve booked a trip with Vueling MAN/BCN/MAN in April so I can fly on one of their A320s outbound and A321s inbound. The trip gives me about three hours at BCN which I plan to spend just watching the planes arrive and depart. My question is this...will such a sho...

I know the 3-3 configuration on the RJ85 means the seats are a bit tight. Is a window seat in the rows with just 2 seats any better, or does the curvature of the cabin make a window in the rows with 3 seats better?

It looks like the new Aer Lingus A321NEO LR has a couple of blank panels instead of windows towards the rear of the aircraft. Does anyone know which row numbers do not have windows? Just Row 25 with no window. It is due to the blocked (not used) emergency exit door location. Thanks, I have a flight...

Jump to postI too have thought their expansion seems rapid, but they’ve been around for a long time and seem to know what they’re doing. Their fares are outrageously high on many routes, but people must be paying them! I hope they take over the MAN/GLA route that apparently is about to be axed by Flybe.
