I remember an Iberia flight to Barcelona I had way back at around 1998, service was your average airline type but something similar to the changing gates occurred at Barcelona like theplane at Madrid. The gate numbers changed a couple of times and we ended up 4 hours late because of technical issues on top of the airport confusion.

Less on UK airlines, it gets repetitive reading about charter airlines and their operations or a new low cost carrier.

More on other European airlines, I have read few articles on airlines such as Iberia, TAP, Aer Lingus etc. This should also count for other regions of the world such as North America where I think there is a lack of coverage.

More in depth detail maybe looking more into the business aspect of an airline/airport/manufacturer as suggested by the UA example. Maybe something similar to the appearance and writing Flight International publishes.

Always enjoyable to read a trip report, not too long yet full of detail. Interesting reading to get the perspective of an airline that we are unlikely to fly. The pictures were a welcome addition too.

True, the exciting order expected in September.

Have you heard the rumours that those A330s might be disappearing for either Boeing aircraft or new A330 aircraft?

Punta Cana is in the Dominican Republic. Like seeing the regional jets, different for the forum.

I know about getting burnt, I went on a day trip on Saturday. Ignoring the dangers of being outside in the sun, my back and neck got totally burnt, not very pleasant at all. Today it was a case of slapping on the lotion, having my top on at midday and plenty of soft drink complemented with plenty of swimming.

You have to laugh at the UK though, the country goes to pieces after a few days of hot weather as speed restrictions are placed on train lines with fear of them buckling :p

Yes, I was very happy to see the Swiss Saab 2000 for one last time. Luckily it was in the old 1990s Crossair scheme, which was brilliant to see again though sadly for how much longer it is around is questionable.

It was first broadcast on the Satellite channel Sky 1 in the UK at the start of the year. Rather lewd content, of course I never got around to watching it. 😉

It is a steelpan, the country’s national instrument. Actually the only new instrument to be invented this century so I am lead to believe. I only realised it a few months back, before I thought it was some sort of sea creature :rolleyes:

Northwest is going to want to be apart of a Global Alliance, just being with Delta and Continental ain’t gonna cut it, they need broad prospective and i’m pretty sure that being able to stay with KLM and also be apart of an even bigger picture is more in their interest.

Fine, that is a legitimate argument. However, it is conditional on which airline you accept to be the driving force in the alliance. Northwest does not need KLM, their relationship doesn’t necessarily have to be with KLM in the end. If they were to join SkyTeam alone then it would be able to enhance a new relationship with Air France and also with their fruitful US partners so KLM’s importance as a partner is over-estimated. On the contrary, KLM would be out on their own with only limited co-operation with American, therefore, who relies on whom more heavily? In effect it would seem as if Northwest were calling the shots in this alliance and whether KLM chooses to follow them is their call but it is assert that Northwest doesn’t have to follow KLM’s example.
