RE: top ten charters

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 23-12-01 AT 09:02 AM (GMT)]I haven’t been on many charter airlines but i would have to say the best would be out of the major charter airlines Britannia.I flew them back in 1993 and although being stuck at Manchester Airport for 8 hours as there was a problem with the Aircraft,when we finally left on a 757 for Reus the service was good,although i can’t remember exactley what food we were given,also there was inflight entertainment.
On the way back was a different story.On the coach to the Airport we were told that again there was problems with the aircraft and so they were taking us on a 2 hour journey up to Barcalona where we would get on a DC-10.The service onboard was not very good as i don’t think we had Britannia staff,but the entertainment was good,we were sat right at the front of the aircraft and so we could see the big screen easily!
But i still would travel Palmair any day.I was trying to get a flight down to Teneriefe with them in Febraury but there was no space.Palmair’s service is very good and although there is no televisions onboard,there is alot of legroom and the food is quite good.I am now flying British European on a charter down to Toulouse in Febraury from Guernsey as i am going skiing in Andorra,can’t wait to fly them as BE’s service is excellent.

RE: Favourite & worst looking

The best looking aircraft in my opinion are:
747-400,BAe 146,A330 and the L-1011 (Tristar)

The worst looking for me are:
Most Russian aircraft(with the exception of the TU-204)The A300 and the 767.

My favourite Aircraft are:
Trislander,ERJ 135/145,757,A320 and the BAC one-Eleven.

Nice British Mediterranean poster

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-12-01 AT 04:43 PM (GMT)]The wallplanner i think is pretty rubbish .It includes small pictures of BA again (year 2000 calendar was pic’s of BA as well)and in the background is a faint pictur of Concorde,not very impressive.
But,that British Mediterranean A320 poster is very nice,that went straight up on my wall!
