A week last Sunday I also did Frankfurt for the Automecanika show at the Messe.
Went out of BHX at 06.30 on a LH 735, nice flight, only about half full, had a row to myself!
Flew back on the just after 10 flight, operated by a 733. this was full but still made good time and back into BHX by 22-30!
Managed to grab a couple of hours walking around FRA, some really interesting stuff in there.
Blimey…Just come across this thread….All the best mate!

I wonder when they say New York, they mean a provincial airport within a 5 hour drive of New York :p
I don’t think the current situation is going to help the tourist indudtry for bookings. the economic downturn, the possible loss of their holidays, just at the time when a lot of tour operators start gearing up to flog their Summer 2009 programme.
I booked my Summer 2009 flights fron BHX to ACE last night on flymonarch.com but still had to think twice before pressing the pay and proceed button 😮
Just 2 weeks ago I used the Freedom Flights Air Malta Charter from Arrecife to BHX. Couldn’t begin to imagine how difficult or expensive it could have been trying to arrange 6 alternative seats (4 kids included in that!!!!)
BHX’s take on the Air Malta chartered aircraft operating on behalf of XL.

Sorry to her the bad news Ollie.
As mentioned on another thread I had the misfortune of returning on a TOM 757 sunday into BHX from ACE. Dirty, old with loose trim, a stark contrast to the MON A321 I went out on Thursday on.
I fly to ACE quite a lot on Monarch from BHX most recently on Thursday afternoon, mostly operating A321’s I find them a pleasure as their aircraft are always clean. I ALWAYS pay for extra leg room usually sitting in row 4 or 5 when booking on their website. The last 2 times I have had the set of 3 seats to myself 😀
I had the misfortune of returning on Sunday on Thomsonfly (757) which I found to be dirty with trim falling off seats and overhead lockers.
I regularly fly to my Villa in Lanza on a different airline to which I fly back on. Just last thursday I went to sort out building work, Flew out of BHX on a Air Malta 320 at 06-25, then flew back on a Monarch 321 at 19-00 the same night.
I fly with them a lot to and from ACE where I have a villa. I ALWAYS pay the extra to sit in the first 7 rows, even I, at 6ft can stretch out. i know it’s a little different being on A321 but I presume the principle of the seat pitch is the same.
Sorry, Forgot to mention we fly out on a Thursday Morning 08-10
Wow these trip reports are getting good, Can I Join In? 😀
I’ve flown to ACE over 20 times and landed on 03 all but 3 times. :p
