*ALLIANCE- thanks for the message, its given me a plan. I never before thought into flying to more than one destination and returning the same day. I always admired aviation enthusiasts who’d do that, since as well as spending the day in the best place you could be (flying at 30.000 ft) you manage to see differant destinations in one day.

I’ve taken you’re advice and am considering flying BOH-DUB-EDI-BOH. Im a beginner at this multi-leg day trip so ill take it slow :p

Wow that sounds really good, I imagine people living within a reasonable distance from key low cost airports i.e LBA, LGW/LTN/STN, BRS etc.

I know that Palmair, Bournemouth’s ‘local’ airline, used to provide day trips to places like Jersey and Lake Garda but there are non going, and though Ryanair operate regularly from the Airport, there are no return day flights.

Im considering going back to DUB, however departing from LHR and returning into BOH, its an option. I need my monthly ‘kick’ of flying!

A330 Crazy, have an awesome time tomorrow in Belfast :rolleyes::)

I’m curious. 21 hours roughly since the crash and just 18 posts to this thread. When AF447 went down there were 112 posts in the first 21 hours after the crash. I wonder why the discrepancy in interest?

I thought the same, its strange how a similar sort of accident brought such differant reactions.
I feel that this is because, with regards to Air France 447, this was a well known European airline that was regarded as a safe, reliable airline. Passengers might not think twice when flying Air France as they would feel secure in their safety however perhaps with Yemenia, a rather run-down airline with a poor reputation, an accident wouldn’t come as such a shock as AF447 did.

Either way it was a tragedy what happened today in the Indian Ocean and thoughts go out to the families and friends of the passengers on the Yemenia flight.

Two male bodies found as well as debris including suitcase and bag with a laptop inside.
I think this latest news is bringing this disaster to a new level of reality and hopefully will help bring closure to some of the families and friends involved.

My thoughts remain with the passengers, crew and their friends and families.

Northern Brazil is known to have a violent patch of turbulence and often airliners are unable to avoid strong turbulence.
Flying from Europe to Argentina often I felt this hard turbulence and Im sure TAM did all they could to avoid the strong turbulence. TAM, in my opinion, are a trustworthy airline and I dont believe they should take the blame. People need to remain seated during turbulence!

It is ridiculous how Ryanair are desperate to squeeze every penny out of their passengers.

This new move- charging online check in, is nearly criminal. It is forcing you to pay for something that you have no choice over. Instead of paying extra for check-in, baggage, credit-card fee etc, i would rather fly with a more reliable low cost airline e.g Flybe or Easyjet, im sure the total price would beat Ryanair’s.

Ryanair have appauling customer service and is pushing passengers to their limit. I will try to avoid flying Ryanair, if i can help it.

It is not that case at all. The only country that you must provide Airline Passenger Information is when you travel to Spain. For other countries in Europe you do not need to provide this information.

Maybe, I was just wondering, as this is what was read on the FAQ on easyJet:

”As a result of new legislation from the EU, all passengers travelling from the UK, Switzerland and Morocco to Spain and since the 4th of February 2009 those travelling from/to the UK to/from Cyprus, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Italy, Malta, Netherlands and Turkey are required to provide Additional Passenger Information (API).”

Thanks a lot for all the advice, it would be great to work with Air Newzealand, so I’ll check it all out and keep you posted.

Thanks for the help 😀

Thomsonfly have spent the year cutting out flights from their regional airports.

At Bournemouth Airport, they used to operate to 7 destinations basing 2 737-300s here, however now it has been cut down to only flights to Palma and Faro, and will use Bournemouth for Charter flights only. I find it terrible, as it was a good service at a cheap price, and proved to be popular. I really do not understand it, but I guess thats business these days…

I find it ridiculous that a main airport of a country, the airport of the capital of Ireland faces problems such as these which would be expected of smaller airports. Imagine if Heathrow, De Gaulle or Amsterdam were faced with this. I know its not the same, but even so, it puts a bad reputation on Irish air travel.

Thats quite strange, maybe they gained special permission due to the time of day, they flew quite early in the morning. Even so, its quite odd. :confused:

In reply to your comment, Mark, I am on the IB6845, departing at 12.10 in the afternoon, so hopefully if I miss the flight I can be put on the next IB flight to EZE which is at 1.25 AM.
The thing is I can’t really miss it because on the 12.10 flight I am meeting my Mum who had to go to Madrid for other reasons before so I ideally wanted us to travel together.
I rang up IB and as you rightly said, due to my ticket being the lowest fare if I don’t take the AMS-MAD I loose all the other flights, so I’ll stick to the original plan (AMS-MAD-EZE) :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot for all your help, I really appreciate it 🙂
