Erm…the service is not direct Cathay 😉

It is, its just a one stop direct service. Most airlines use the term “direct” if it means you dont have to change planes.

Sounds a bit like when British Airways became “British”.

Finnair seem to be playing it really well at the moment, their long haul flights seem to be performing strongly. They are in the “lucky” position whereby they are operating an undesirable aircraft type (MD11) which means they can acquire new examples cheaply in order to supplement growth, before regenerating the fleet with this new order in 6 or 7 years time.

Theres quite a lot of these springing up at the moment. Personally I prefer using Flytecomm and FlightAware:

Excellent news, the only time I’ve used LCY I had to get the DLR to Canary Wharf, and then wait out in the cold for 45 minutes for the bus. Lots of very unhappy businessmen that morning. :rolleyes:

Well I think I can honestly say that we will go a long long time before any other forum member is able to give a trip report from Turkmenistan, let alone being able to take photographs from there!

Really interesting stuff, please do keep it up!

I also forgot to add, there is a big difference in Ryanair -800 seat pitches on the old aircraft compared to the new seat designs. The older seat configuration was significantly more comfortable than the new one.

Considering flying First Choice in January, bit worried now!

Although I take your point FR 738 are not bad aircraft – most are new inside and although basic, the seats aren’t uncomfortable. After all, they are in the same config as XLA for example – so I don’t really agree with you here.

How tall are you? I’m 6’3 and I assure you, an hour is bad enough in those seats for someone my height. They are uncomfortable enough to rival the easyJet A319s which has got to be the most height discriminatory aircraft ever. People whinge about the FlyBe 146s, but give me one of them any day over an easyJet 319 or a Ryanair 738.

Hmm cant see the Israeli authorities being too keen on this as it would have a considerable impact on their own interest in ElAl.

Also I for one would not like to be stuck in an FR 738 for 5 hours, 1 hour is bad enough.

Sounds like SweFly again with their recently announced plans to serve India.

Crown Point is on Tobago.

Well the Santa charters have started today, so I decided to replicate the one being operated from my not so new anymore home airport of Leeds. First off we positioned up from LGW, and then departed to Rovaniemi. Thanks to Steve (EGNM) I even managed to download the correct reg for the flight 😉

Right base for Runway 21:

Turning finals for 21, with the gear already extended:

Short final:

Rolling out on the snow covered runway:

Parking up on the Christmassy apron:

Looking out from the terminal before going to visit Santa :p
