Better pack my parachute, then!
Didn’t realise there were any DC9s left, and I thought DC10s were only used for freight nowadays, but I dare say we’ll be packed in like cattle anyway.

Thanks EAL_KING – at least I know my leg from Gothenburg to Stansted will be a 737 (Ryanair)!
Are there buses from Stansted to Gatwick, BTW? The train is a bit expensive and carrying luggage on the Underground is not my favourite pursuit!

Gatwick-Minneapolis 29 July

On a similar theme, my Oshkosh trip begins with departure from Gatwick at 12:10 on 29 July, I believe on Northwest. Then there’s a departure at 17:00 from Minneapolis to Green Bay. Can anyone tell me what kind of aircraft is likely to be used for these two journeys please?

OK you are on an A320, currently scheduled as G-DHRG, one of the newer ones:

Hi EAL_KING:

Palma charts can be found here:

http://ais.aena.es/aipeng/ad/ad2/ad2-lepa/Ad2-lepa_INDICE.html

although the one you probably want is here:

I am on the case regarding your aircraft type/registration.
