RE: Seat Back TV’S

When I flew them two years ago, AF were in the process of equipping their A340’s with seat back tv’s, too.
Their new A330’s also have them, and I’m pretty sure their 767/747 fleets have been upgraded, too.

RE: What was your first flight?

BA, not 100% sure, probably 757
GLA-LHR
September 1985

2nd flight, two hours later, was a BA L1011
LHR-CDG

RE: US Airways

So we can put the salad rumour to bed, then… 😉

I said right from the start the catering on US Airways was your average US airine fare.

Man charged with smoking on flight

A man has been charged with smoking on a plane, after the captain called for police as he landed at Leeds-Bradford Airport.
Officers were called at about 2230 BST on Saturday, a West Yorkshire Police spokesman said.

The arrested man, from Beeston in Leeds, was charged with smoking on an aircraft, under the Aviation Act.

The 39-year-old was bailed to appear before Leeds magistrates at a later date.

The pilot of the flight from Palmas in Tenerife had called for police, alleging some passengers became abusive when asked not to smoke.

ho hum… you don’t think the reason he became abusive was because he was told how to get away with it in a magazine….

RE: BA cancels 11 September flights

Yesterday (2/8)’s The Times said that, apart from the 24 BA flights, both AA and UA have made ‘unspecified’ reductions on domestic flights between Setember 9-September 13.

‘Among the flights to be cancelled are the routes for the four planes that were hijacked. American Airlines retired the two daily flights, while United has cancelled theirs for the anniversary.’

RE: Swiss Pic

ok, just to update zou all, I returned yesterday, on HB-IUG, still in the Crossair colours (although, there are no plans to repaint any more MD80’s to the swiss colours (only two have been repainted)), as they’re due to be phased out next year, and replaced by A320’s, originally ordered by Crossair last year.

Anyway, it was far from a full load, so infinitely more enjoyable than the outward flight.

There was a meal served… and… COFFEE. Excellent, I was in heaven.

So… Swiss flights ex-Switzerland apear to be ok, (also from looking at the timetable, meals are scheduled on flights FROM, but not TO Switzerland), although hopefully they can get some decent catering services sorted out at foreign airports.

While the plane was externally still Crossair, the headrests now say Swiss, so branding is getting there, too.
