Scouted the net and the cheapest is the same as Prestons. Dep LHR 0705 Rtn from MAN 1950 for 51.00 all in exc credit card charge of 3.00. Still Thursday isn’t a bad day with all your usual American stuff,Cathy Pacific Freighter(when on time), Dragonair freighter, Air Transat A330, Turkish 738,Qatar A300, amoungst others.

Keep me posted!

This aircraft blongs to Air Speke. They are waiting for creditors downtown to finance some wheels off a Ford Escort. The livery is coming from a local covert design company (GRA-fee-t) in the L8 postcode, I.D unknown.

IN AGREEANCE – BRING BACK VIRGIN SUN! Who’s gonna start the petition.

Yes they were still giving out the ruk-sacks to the kids full of goodies. Tried to pass for one myself but failed.

Yes all flights were on time except for the return flight of which I mentioned, where it arrived early to LCA but had a tech fault where a filter needed to be replaced. 1/2 an hour and we still arrived only 7 mins late to MAN. And it’s true, the second time I flew with them was in July and the meals were different than the first time and as true as I’m typing this, the trays,cups,mats,and knife and fork packet had Air 2000 on them. That was such a subtle hint to the weary.

I flew Virgin Sun twice to Larnaca VMED and VTAN both times from Manchester in 2000 and 2001. Weren’t the cabin crew the happiest friendliess practical jokers you have ever flown with. I was deeply upset when on the return flight from LCA the crew told us that as of October, the airline was being swallowed down by some other greedy tour operator and we would never see them again:( .

Of those who did fly on them, did anybody notice that the in-flight meal trays and utensils had AIR2000 stamped on them???

BYE BYE TO THE FLYING BANANA:( !

BA have a 767 based at Manchester operating the daily JFK route and it has been there for quite a few years. I think it replaced the Tristar or DC-10 on the route in the 90’s. As far as I know there is no plans to replace it other than in fleet rotation. The only other aircraft would be the 777 or 744 and these would have over-capacity.
