Wow, surprising to read this. I felt the absolute opposite after my trip last May. BA was an absolute joke in my opinion. The cabin crew just didn’t seem to care, and service was very laid back. Qantas on the other hand was fantastic, lovely food, friendly and professional cabin crew, and an all round excellent service. Would certainly choose to fly them again if I was given the chance.

I flew on from SIN with Australian, what a difference considering both airlines are in the same stable.

Could it be that QF cc consider themselves Prima Donna
and the minions on AO try harder.?

Both experiences were akin to chalk and cheese – AO
served the cheese and QF the chalk.. IMHO 🙁

I’ll start at East Fortune on Monday 10th (see my other post about me being the new Assistant Curator)

Good luck with this RA! Any chance of a Shorts Belfast
going on display.?

I took this shot of the last flying version in Cairns, Australia.

MON only for summer. Not sure about bmi, they have had quite an extensive range of flights in past winters, not sure about this winter yet, but I’m not sure if there were enoguh to justify a based aircraft.

bmi do charters for Direct Holidays and Mytravel, other
tour operators have allocations. Not enough flights? It’s not
a pax problem at EDI, they can’t get enough! 😀

Er… I thought EDI already had a future plan? new taxiways, a new tower, a second runway etc?

A new runway? 30 years hence? Take your granchildren
along to the opening Allen? 😀
