RE: Sheffield Disaster!!!!

I don’t think there is the room to extend the runway at Sheffield, so I think charters will be out ! There are quite a few airports nearby, but at the wrong time of the day driving to them is abit of a nightmare. I don’t know what the future will be for it but Amsterdam would be probably the most important link.

RE: Low Cost Airlines?????

The “Low Cost Carriers” are not always that, however its is often possible to get good fares with them and it had made BA etc offer some more reasonable fares. The Saturday night restrictions imposed by the main-stream carriers have penalized people for far too long as have high one-way fares. It is also useful that the likes of Easyjet will let you change the ticket or name with a nominal fee £10.00. If you have an Apex or something with BA or the likes, you would have no chance.

The low-cost carriers have also opened routes which were not available before ie LPL-NCE,LPL-PMI and LPL-AGP from Easyjet. STN-NQY from Ryanair and so on.

RE: B737 with transatlantic capabilities!

I seem to remember that that was Lakers idea with “Skytrain” to the US, no food included, just a seat. Treat yourself to something nice from M & S food dept for your flight and have something tasty in economy for a change !

RE: What’s your favourite Tri-jet?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 29-03-02 AT 07:22 PM (GMT)]I have a soft spot for the Dc-10. first time I flew on one was LGW-JFK with Laker. Was never as keen on the Tristar. Also liked the 727 because very few UK airlines have ever had them Dan-air 727-100 and 200s. I think Sabre Airways bought some of these after Dan-air. Only flew on the type twice. Split to LHR with JAT and Miami to Kingston with Eastern. Strange really because there was so many. I still see them at Liverpool opperating cargo for TNT or DHL. Best DC-10 logos CP air and UTA. Also DAS cargo of Uganda looks good
