The globespan website I quoted yesterday when I broke the news in the ‘quiet in here’ thread talks about 29 quid, isn’t the 14 quid excluding tax? 15 quid tax could be about about right…

also, talking of new routes, Ren texted me to tell me this afternoon, and I’ve since looked it up a bit…

Flyglobespan.com will start direct flights to Geneva between Christmas and Easter this coming winter.

There will be 3 non stop flights a week from Edinburgh to Geneva (Thursday/Saturday/Sunday), as well as one flight a week that routes Edinburgh-Glasgow-Geneva (Friday). There will be a total of 5 weekly nonstop flights (Monday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday) from Glasgow, including the one that originates/continues onto Embra. Prices (excluding tax) for a one way trip start at £14.

Starting from the week beginning 20 December until 10 April, flyglobespan will fly:

funny you should mention it. I did look at it this morning. Not sure about it, though, if Gemini release a Swissair Coronado, I’d be more likely to go for that, as I’ve been on the one (HB-ICC) at the Transport Museum in Lucerne.

I agree with keeping the original spelling of place names such as Köln, München etc, but it’s not just the english language that is guilty of it, In Dutch, London becomes Londen and Paris becomes Parijs, in Spanish and French, London becomes Londres and Edinburgh becomes Edimburgo in Spanish – where did that ‘m’ come from!!??

And just to really confuse people, the Italian for ‘Munich’ is ‘Monaco’. Bejaysus.

(Monaco in Monte Carlo is ‘La Monaco’ in Italian)

they even ran out of Pastis! (and no, none of our group was touching that ;))

what a lot of ********. The goal was rightly chopped off (you try doing your job as a goalkeeper with John Terry’s elbow in your throat).

However, I agree that Urs is generally a total farce, as conclusive evidence I give to you… that late penalty he gave to (as opposed to awarded :rolleyes:) Lyon in a certain Champions League game I may or may not have been at last season. Now, if only Stuart Dougal was taking notes for big games about when to chop off goals (hell, even Darren Young wasn’t claiming the goal after he shoved Davie in the Cup final.)

None of this has anything whatsoever to do with aviation, however, let’s stop going on about it.

Swiss are to use a Privatair A319 for ZRH-EWR flights from the Winter timetable onwards.
