Just like Russian Cruise liners used to have very large stern doors – just about big enough to disembark T72 tanks:p

Well, as has been said before, it really does come down to your experiences with the airline, and what you are happy with.
Our last two trips to MNL have been with LH, and although others may throw their hands in the air with horror, we were really quite happy with the trips. Although now close to a decision on who to fly with on next trip and will probably try something different especially with prices so competitive.;)

A (rich) guy a used to work for always travelled in the “superior” classes, but usually dressed in T shirt and jeans. He is the only person I’ve ever met who was regularly downgraded – “The economy class queue is over there ,sir.” He used to get very cross!:p

Been searching for any larger aircraft using SOU, (other than 737/757), and the only one I found was this:http://www.airliners.net/open.file/352746/M/

Just looking again at that – some of those are BE flights using 142,
the other larger aircraft would be 737 of Air Malta and Air Europa, and 757 of BY etc, plus whatever else is called in to cover.
You have got me interested as to what larger aircraft have used Southampton! And as a matter of interest, my first flight from there was as an ATC Cadet in an Avro Anson:eek:

Philippines! The fear of terrorism (greatly overstated, except in certain areas – which you stay well away from), has decimated tourism. But the people are great, and there are tremendous bargains to be had. If you want to make some flights, how about PAL from Manila to Puerto Princesa (A320) for around £80 return, and then a flight up to El Nido by SEAIR LET410 (45 mins) for £21, or even a 30day pass on SEAIR to travel the length and breadth of the country for $299?
And in Palawan, you could stay here for around £7 a night:cool:

Like if you buy a multi-million dollar motor yacht – if you want fuel in it, its extra!:eek:

Now, what were we discussing about SIA……….?:p
