I would say they wouldn’t accept a driving licence on the day. The requirements for photo-id are surely those in force at the time of travel not the time of booking (id has nothing to do with making the booking).

The only way round this would be to get the information from the hotline in writing, and that’s never going to happen.

Looking at the website I’m amazed how few forms of id they do accept!

Wish them luck,

Didn’t they put a nice dent in one of their Bae 146’s not long ago?

Indeed!

First scheduled service to Madeira from Manchester

Not the first, Air Europe had a scheduled MAN FNC service in the late 80’s/early 90’s.

Where was this one dug up from? It happened on July 27th!

Quite a habit forming for BA, a similar incident happen at LHR a couple of years ago.

It’s actually happened twice at Heathrow in the past couple of years. Once where the wing of a Sri Lankan 340 clipped the wing of a BA 747 and once where the wing of a BA 747(?) being pushed back clipped the tail of a BA 321 waiting to park.

It just doesn’t look right

I like it.

I think the larger EMB-190/195 will look better

Although I think you’re right there.

I remember a friend paid £48 for Speedy Boarding on Easyjet (£8 each for her and two kids for a round trip). Unfortunately they opened general boarding when she was only a few footsteps down the jetty so half a 319 of people sprinted past her!

From the Virgin Atlantic website:

Once you’re checked in:

When you arrive at the airport go straight to the Bag Drop where we’ll check your luggage and give you a boarding pass. You will need to show your printed boarding pass (if you have printed one),
