I personally would not want to sit in a flight that lasts over 8 hours and dont get served properly, would rather pay more for a full fledged service than this. This is possibly the first example of a proper (not counting JetBlue’s pond crossings) long-haul loco venture, and to me as a passenger it would not make for a very pleasent journey, of-course taking into consideration the airline will run like a textbook loco.
And that note on the BBC link on enviornment is quite random it seems. :confused:

Forgive if im wrong but is this the first ever 747 for a budget carrier?
If so then, there is no hope, they are taking over the world
In the states there was a budget carrier “People Express” using a B747’s in the 1980’s.

My view of long haul budget airlines is that seldom are the prices describable as ‘budget’.

I think the environmental debate is based on the cost to the environment rather than the actual monetary cost.

The entire enviroment debate is rather dubious!! Per person per mile flying is cheaper ( specially with the newer jets) then traveling by car . Should we be imposing higher taxes on Driving ??

I think all you that are wishing Oasis good luck should read the other fourm about Oasis. “Oasis’ 1st Flight Delayed For Military Reasons”. Most of the people there think it is bad for the enviroment and should not be allowed to operate or should have to charge higher fares to perserve the enviroment?

Always good to see a new Uk based airline get off the ground good luck to them.
I think the clue is in the name!

Hopefully better luck second time for Oasis – the next flight to LGW should leave this evening.:) :p

I hope this one works out
Me too 😉
Apparantly this means that there’s now 80 LON-HKG flights a week 😮
