    That’s class Joe! 😀 Yes it is ARN-EDI 5 or 6 times a week with the 736. Just started at the end of March. Rumours are that they will be the airline to restart the Oslo route that EDI lost when duo went bust.

    This article made me laugh, he talks of not allowing check-in baggage or charging for the priviledge, then goes on to say why do we need seats? 😮 What is this guy on?! 😉

    SPIEGEL ONLINE: To lower your prices and your cost, you’ve started to make airplanes more spartan: no window blinds, no seat pockets, no reclinable seats. Where’s that going to lead?

    O’Leary: Adapting seats is relatively small beer. The big change that could be coming is eliminating check-in baggage. If you do that, you can simplify the way airports are designed. You no longer have baggage haul, no handlers. No lost bags, no lost-bag departments.

    Although there was talk of pay-per-view ptvs!

    SPIEGEL ONLINE: So pay-per-use entertainment might become a source of income?

    O’Leary: Yea. People with children can swipe their credit card and watch cartoons. It’s the only way to keep the children quiet. If the flight is full of men – pornography! I don’t care as long as customers want it and it lowers fares. Maybe flying will be free in 2015 and airports will pay us to carry their passengers. There’s no reason why we can’t change the whole economics of air travel – apart from the fact that the industry is run by a bunch of numb nuts.

    This gets more and more worrying by the minute! I was hoping this wasn’t authentic…..it is. Remind me, is this guy meant to be professionally running an airline? 😮

    Those wings are way too elegant looking to put on a big fat bird like it! 😀

    I have to say after all the hype FR kick up, even though I vowed I never would, I want to fly them! Just so I can experience how good or bad they really are. So we’re looking at STN-Venice(sorry small shed 20miles from Venice)-STN! 😀

    Only because Ryanair class a flight that they know is going to last 1.5hrs as being 2hrs long, so to be truely punctual they have to arrive 1/2 an hour early all the time! 😀 ok, EZY do that tactic a bit as well!

    I’m sure I read somewhere that Phillipines had started a A340 to LAS?

    😮 Thanks for that Renfrew! 😮 It’s huge, especially the wings! The span and especially the surface area is just huge! 😮
    It dwarfs everything! 😀

    Nice photos, and great timing to re-appear. I’ll be at BHX a week today, can I expect to see anything interesting between about 08.15 and 09.15 on a Thursday morning, be it movements or just parked?
    and what about later in the evening between about 19.00 and 20.00? 🙂

    Im sorry i just don’t think its big, it looks quite small from that picture actually, but you know when i see it land in the future i might feel different.

    I think the reason you think this is because it is getting dwarfed by that HUGE hanger! 🙂

    The problem is it doesn’t work for FR, only other Locos.
    This one is excellent and dedicated to FR:
