Hoping to spend the whole weekend sorting out personal problems.

I can see this thread being just another opportunity to bash the airline.

1. Three sports/street cars. One for myself, one for my parents, one for my grandparents.

2. A new house or something for parents, I suppose.

3. No idea. DEFINITELY something involving commercial aviation, though.

Recently returned from a holiday in the Greek Islands, so thought i’d report back on my travels. Flew Manchester to Athens with Alitalia ( cheap ticket) so changed aircraft in Milan/Malpensa. Man-ATH MD 80 and MXP-ATH A321. Although MD 80 is showing its age it was a very smooth flight, and nice to have the option of 2 seats together. These days its often 3 + 3, where as the MD 80 was 2 + 3.

The flight from Milans was the busier of the two, completely full, the aircraft didnt look as knackered as the flight out of MAN, but one thing in common on both flights, the service and food was pretty crap. Have never flown with Alitalia before and I wouldn’t put them high on my preference list. Still everything on time and ticket was cheap.

Next day Athens to Samos with Olympic on an ATR 72. Busy flight, got a drink onboard, pleasant crew. You can see the aircraft is a real work horse for them, peolpe use it like a bus. Very interesting approach into Samos, plane swings very sharply to left to avoid mountains. Saw charter aircraft do the same approach while i was there.

Spent two and half weeks away, did a few island by ship and ended up in Mykonos.

Flew with Agean on a 146 Mykonos-Athens, very nice leather seating and a foot rest, flight time 20 mins, and still got a drink !

Then next day onwards with Alitalia again, same route, same aircraft types , enjoyed the MD 80 again, I guess there are not as many operators of this type left in Europe now ?? Malpensa airport is Ok, but its not a place you would want to spend too long, looking a bit old and tired. The new Athens Airport is really quite good and the Metro runs straight into the city centre.

Got back to Manchester at about 22.00hrs on Sunday night. Got to passport control to find at least 500 people queuing because there was only two staff working checking passports………….welcome to the UK !

I actually thought Malpensa was a nice airport. How long did you stay? We were stuck for 8 hours!
Alitalia… I thought they were alright. Their E190’s are brilliant, though! Way better than A319’s.
