RE: COPENHAGEN AIRPORT

Hi!
If you liked it, check out its webiste at http://www.cph.dk!
What made the airport beautiful to you? I haven’t been to CPH but I found Singapore Changi very beautiful, and, judging from the pictures, the new Kuala Lumpur airport must also be stunning – all spacious and green…
My favourite airport remains Heathrow. Yes, its buildings are ugly and it is always being renovated and crammed with even more retail outlets but at least it works! You get your luggage quickly, check-in is not crammed with interminable queues.

RE: AIRBUS 3XX???

Hi there!
I think that the future market will be large enough to sustain both aircraft. If China alone keeps growing at its present rate the there will be millions each year that can afford air travel for the first time, and will ot wait long to buy their first ticket. So that in the medium term not one half of the world’s population but getting close to one fifth will indeed be stting in airplanes. And growth in air travel is still taking place in Europe and America (especially Latin America)so that, if ATC is not to break down completely, larger aircraft will be needed – and in such numbers as to give both manufacturers enough to build.

RE: Worlds longest route??

Hello again!
What difference will it make? LAX-SYD is 14:40 – and often heavily booked – and those 2 more hours aren’t that much worse. By the fifth hour you’ll most likely be bored stiff anyway… Two things surprise me though. First, will there be a market for this flight? And second, will they make the cabin crew go into the lavatories at regular intervalsto keep them clean. If they don’t then we’re all in for a har time. Just look at the state of the lavs at the and of a transatlantic haul and let me know if you can come up with something more disgusting…

Keep flying!

RE: Seats facing backwards?!

Concerning backward-facing seats in present-day aircraft, aren’t the starboard Row 1 seats in any Dash8 backward?
Further, has anyone heard feedback from backward-flying business class travellers on those new BA beds? The BA blurb claims it’ll be well received, but…

RE: Do you think travllers really care who they travel with ?

One thing that seems to pull customers towards a particular airline is the loyalty programme, with the carrot of free flights in the future seemingly lessening the stick of the uncomfortable flight at present. Furthermore, there must be pereceptible differences in service otherwise it wouldn’t be the same group of airlines that keep winning awards, yes, even for service in the “back of the bus”, year in, year out.
