I expected this route to do well for 3 reasons:

1. Dubai is a popular destination in it’s own right.
2. Emirates reputation as a great airline.
3. Emirates hub offers good connections to Asia/Australia and passengers now have an alternative to using AMS/LHR to change flights. (I wonder if traffic on the GLA-AMS/LHR routes has changed much since Emirates arrived at GLA)

Continental is a great airline imo; I flew with them 3 years ago; MAN-EWR-IAH on their 767/777/DC10 a/c. All flights were very good from memory, pleasant cabin crew, decent food(for an airline) and good IFE.

These are not rare aircraft, dc10fan. What made you think that they were? :confused:

Grey area,

If you checked some facts then you would find that PH-MCE/F are actually very rare if you consider the variant; a 200C. How many airlines run passenger-configured 747s that have a nose-loading cargo door fitted? Boeing only ever built 13 of these a/c. That makes them rare in my books?

Tenthije,

You being Dutch? should know that KLM had PH-BUH converted from a 200 to a 200SUD then converted it to a 300SF. This being a model never offered by Boeing.

Here’s another Airtours B757..she needed a new nosecone. Q: Which airline supplied the part? (quite easy)

The 757 is one of my favourite a/c but I wouldn’t fly on one long-haul. Twin-aisle a/c are so much better for those times when you want to walk around and a stewardess is blocking one of the aisles with those carts. I’ve flown Continental(great a/l) on their B767/777s and they all have PTV entertainment. Why don’t they offer this on the 757s?

Good topic; I always like to know exactly which a/c I’m flying on. There are some good acars websites that should be able to advise a/c used. Scheduled flights seem much easier to trace than charters though.

This is my current favourite..a great a/c that took me to New York 3 weeks ago..

Nope, LIS was 747/757/767 all summer. 737s were used on the short EU routes, BRU, AMS, etc. My Dad was on the last one into LHR, from BRU 😉

The 747s was only used for a few days during Euro 2004. Most flights in July/August operated by 320/757.

Bigjet,

The spotted 737 was probably G-DOCH as that hasn’t been operating at LGW for a few days and it is still painted in the “Grand Union” cols. See link below

I quite fancy a trip on Biman’s Dc10s but not for a 10-11 hr flight. I may have to go to Chittagong and they do operate them on some domestic flights between Dhaka and Chittagong….there’s an idea.

Good to see a foreign national carrier operating more services into a UK regional(ie. non-London) airport.

Great report/photos. The A330 looks good in the new MEA cols. Back in Aug 88, I flew on a BA B747 from LGW-MCO. The a/c was reg G-BLVE but was actually
OD-AGH on lease from MEA.

LBArules,

Thanks; corrected.

RIPConcorde,

These are the better seats fitted throughout some B747s but only in rows 9-18(between Door 1 & 2) on others:http://www.airliners.net/open.file/380555/L
These are the more basic seats: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/124882/L.
