    Yes, but I’m a big fan of paying for it all seperately now aswell, decided I needed some winter sun just before xmas, so went to Lanzarote. I got a quote for the hotel I wanted as a package, then got a quote by booking each element seperately, and can you guess which one saved me over £50 per head???? Most tour operators sell their holidays bit by bit aswell, you just ned to check out their websites instead of walking into an estate agent.

    You’d be surprised.

    Heard plenty Airbus fans call the 747 ugly and A380- super sleek 😮

    But its an ugly monster!!!! (I mena the A380). Maybe I need to wait for more pics on a.net before I decide then, maybe they’ve seen it in a light I ahven’t (maybe pitch black??). I’m not worried either way between Boeing and Airbus, but there is no getting away from it, it is UGLY!

    If they don’t want to pay for the headphones, why don’t they just pay the extra hundred pound or so and fly with a scheduled flight? I wish they would just shut up and pay the few quid for the ear phones!

    An extra £100?? I think that when people are booking flights they should check all carriers before deciding. Last year I travelled to Cyprus for my brother’s wedding, living near Heathrow at that time I automatically checked out BA for convenience. They were £7 more expensive return than the cheapest charter flight from LGW (but that saved me money on getting to LGW!!).

    It’s the same with Low Costs Carriers, people PRESUME they are cheaper. The reality is that their cheap end fares are cheaper, but towards the higher end of fares they can sometimes be more expensive than the fulls service airlines.

    I reckon, with the use of a good internet site it is possible to spend all of 5 minutes doing a search of the full service carriers, it may be that on the occasion you want to fly they are more expensive, but surely 5 minutes is worth it just to check.

    I prefer to fly full service not just because of perks such as inflight catering and ents, but also because they tend to be more reliable with (generally) better servcie. Furthermore if you book with BA you can check in the night before on the net and get those extra leg room seats!!!

    And as an update to this…LH results given today confirm lower profit levels……too much back end traffic??

    Well Imitation is suposed to be a form of flattery.

    Exactly what I said in your post showing revised LH livery……although that was with regards to the olde United livery.

    Well if you look at it that way, so many airlines copy each other. 🙂

    I wouldn’t argue against that comment in the slightest! It would take all day to list those that do 😉
