Reasonable size and selection on spirits, less so on cigarettes and tobacco, but does stock most major brands. Can be purchased on arrival and departure. Sandefjord is very expensive.

I tried to book a scenic flight with this company when I was up in Scotland over the summer and found that on many flights there would be a couple seats spare, but they were over the weight limites.

The circuit airfield at Le Mans during the 24 hours has to be one of my favourites for its uniqueness.

Excellent report LBARULES. Have to agree with you re Air Southwest and Bristol Airport; fantastic little regional airport and a top service from Air Southwest. Not tempted to try their route from LBA to Newquay LBARULES? I guess a day trip is possible with a return via Gatwick?

What did you think of Air Southwest? I’m using them on weds from Bristol to Manchester. Thanks.

Cheers, remember the crews having ba uniforms and stll ba equipment.

Talking of bargains, xl are offering some very good upgrade prices on their summer long haul services. Barbados is another £50 or so for premium or another £150 for excelone which is their business class services eith a 45″ seat pitch (about £600 return on most dates).
