They have all schedule services listed, then go across to the airlines web site and get your prices and/or book the flight.

RE: The 757

The 757 is a great aircraft, I’ve flown on it more than any other aircraft types and with many different airlines.

It is also one of the best take-offs around, behind Concorde of course 🙂

Great plane!

RE: Microsoft FS02 PRO for £55!

The move from fs98 to fs2k was a poor one, I can remember being very disappointed as well.

However, the move from fs2k to fs2002 is a huge and very good one! Lots of little extras, great graphics and it runs much smoother.

I’d advise you to give it a go, especially at that price!

RE: virgin

Before September 11 they had two daily flights, one was a 747-400 (the early one) and one an A340.

According to the OAG website they are now both A340’s.
Its a great plane to fly on!

RE: MyTravel Airways

I’ve never heard of that story before and I have to say I find it amazing in this day and age.

I’ve flown on an aircraft with a female co-pilot once ( BY flight ACE-EMA). There were a few jokes going around the aircraft, but this is due to the fact that it is still a mainly male dominated job and it surprised a few people.
There are an increasing number of female pilots though, I hear them regularly on the scanner and while I hope there continues to be more and more female pilots, not too many as increased demand means less chance of me making it. 🙂

A point on the Airtours go bankrupt comment, this was perhaps not meant literally but was a comment made in anger at the airline.

RE: Microsoft FS02 PRO for £55!

Thats the size of the box!
There isn’t an instruction manual, its on the disk so that you can print it out.
Also, the three disks come in a cardboard case, which was very disappointing, after paying £70 I was expecting a DVD case within the other one.

The program is excellent though, no problems whatsoever.

PS look out for my dynamic scenery when I finish my first fs2002 versions.

RE: virgin

They’ve cut a few atlantic routes such as Chicago and Toronto. I heard they’d retired the entire 747 classic fleet. Some routes have also been moved between Gatwick and Heathrow and I think the A340’s are operating most of the US routes with the 747-400’s being switched to South Africa and Asia.
I think I also heard that all flights to Athens have been halted.

I had a quite detailed magazine come, as I am in their flying club, I’ll try to find it and confirm these details.

RE: Airline food

Best food I’ve had is with Airtours, cottage pie once and something else, I can’t remember what but it was nice.
Virgin food is usually good, I love the ice cream after your main meal as mentioned above.

Can’t think of any of the bad meals really.
