I was on a Britannia flight from LTN to LPA when there was a problem with the air conditioning system. The flight returned to LTN and departed again 3hrs later

My worst 5
1.) Abu Dhabi (AUH)
2.) Bangkok (BKK)
3.) Gatwick (LGW)
4.) Sao Paulo (GRU)
5.) Mexico City (MEX)
I'm surprised any Russian planes aren't up there.
Jump to postAccording to OAG.com you have to change planes at CGK when going to DPS. You get the 744 and then D10.
Jump to postSeveral years ago I flew directly from London to Anchorage on the 742 with BA. Why did BA suspend the route? Did the route continue to any other destinations? How often did it operate? When was it suspended? Also, what other airlines flew from Europe to ANC? Did those airlines continue to any other ...
Jump to postThe other 742s were probably salvaged for spares.
Will they use the 772s on their LHR route?
I think the new BA Business class seats are Brilliant. I don't care about facing strangers or the seats not being private because I will be sleeping for most of the flight anyway. I think these new seats are excellent, a huge improvement on the previous cradle seats.
Jump to postI think like Swissair and most other European Airlines they will opt for the A340.
Jump to postThanks for your help. I think that Garuda Indonesia is quiet a good airline so I expect that Air China will be similar to them.
Jump to postI would go with Garuda. You can upgrade to premium class for £99 where you get 44inches of legroom (I think) Even in Cattle Class the seats are comfortable, the toilets are huge, friendly F/A, nice food.
I would go to Bali, I went their on holiday last year and didn't want to leave.
I find this rather strange considering that they like cargo, yet they are disposing the Combi aircraft. Still, it will be great seeing EVA 777s at LHR.
Jump to postIn Feb I will be flying to Beijing from London on Air China (I have no choice).
Could anyone tell me what their service...etc is like?
Thanks
Short Haul
B737-800
B737-700
Medium Haul/ Long Haul
B767-300ER
B747-400
What about Garuda
BNE-DPS 330 (I think)
DPS-TPE D10
Garuda offer competitive fares.
I reccommend Garuda Indonesia. You can stop off at CGK.
I flew Garuda last year and I thought they were fairly good. They give a lot more leg room than most European airlines.
You will get to fly on their 747-400s and A330-300s.
