they had 3 727’s, but only one of them was a pax variant, the other two were freighters.

There was an article in AW about them a year or two back, but they’re another of those smaller operators who’ve since gone out of business.

yeah, BHX has daily Emirates and PIA flights, as well as a few transatlantic flights (Continental, for example)

The population difference is rather stark… about 60 million in the UK compared to about 4 million in NZ, with about 2/3rds of those 4 million living in the North Island.

And how many billion Sheep? Something like 16Million? 😉

ROTF @ prospect of Archie Gemmill terminal.

(And can we send his son there? Or anywhere far away from a Scotland squad, anyway? 😉 )

And seeing as how King Kenny passed the ball to Archie at the start of that move, maybe he should have a terminal named after him, too… how about the nearest airport to La Manga, as he’s undoubtedly it’s most frequent visitor… :rolleyes:

jeez, Sheepville? the one thing to always bear in mind is not to forget your thermals…

So are GNER changing their dark blue scheme, too?

Don’t even have to be in an alliance to throughcheck baggage…

I flew Swissair BSL-ZRH-LHR (yeah, it was a cheap reward ticket, the promotion was only valid on Swissair flights Switzerland-LHR, not the Crossair direct flight from BSL) in 2001, and connected to BA for LHR-GLA. I checked my luggage through to GLA at BSL, although I had to get a boarding pass for the BA flight at the BA transfer desk at LHR.

Admittedly, neither of my two bags arrived in GLA with me, one came the same afternoon, from LHR on a bmi flight, and the other arrived the following day from ZRH, via LHR… :rolleyes:

However, on the return flight, my luggage arrived in ZRH no problems (there was no connecting flight to BSL, so I got the train from there). I was surprised BA let me check my bags through, despite only having an SR e-ticket. Again, I had to get the boarding pass at the LHR transfer desk (Qualiflyer, this time), but over all, no problems.
