This.

The best: probably ORD for a large one or CVG for something smaller.

But my favourite will always be CMH because that’s where I first met my wife.

For variety it’s Heathrow, plus that’s the one I fly across the pond from 🙂

For user-friendliness I would say Leeds-Bradford, Edinburgh or Stansted.

For viewing it’s a close call between Manchester and Gatwick.

If I have to chose an overall favourite, it’s a close call between my two local ones, LBA and MAN. I like the regional atmosphere at LBA, so it’s Leeds-Bradford by a nose.

I just got back from Venice too today, with easyJet. Usual easyJet stuff… 20 mins late each way (every easyJet flight I have ever been on has been 20 min late, so why don’t they just revise their entire timetable to 20 mins later? 🙂 )…expensive food and drink…boring 737s…jolly cabin crew.

Possibly, yes.

The RJ’s don’t have the same cargo capacity which means airlines can’t carry cargo on their passenger flights to enhance revenue.

Agreed, but it’s a shame the A318 can’t take the same containers as the A319-321. Think it’s due to engine / cargo door clearance, can anyone confirm or correct this?

If you are mainly a RJ operator (like Flybe) then you’d probably go for a large RJ – if you’re mainly a big airliner operator you might stick with a cut down mainline airliner.

Agreed again. This is especially true if the big airline has an Airbus fleet.

Greekdude, it’s fine to disagree, forums are for discussion.

We all like a bit of eye candy, but one of my first flights with my wife resulted in me getting the cold shoulder for looking at ‘the one with the arse’. And I was only trying to catch her attention to get the wife replacement headphones (the ones she had been given didn’t work) 🙁

I tend to associate good service with United and a few other airlines. Maybe the average age of UAL’s cabin crews is just a coincidence, maybe they are at the top of many crews’ career ladders which causes more mature crews to gravitate to them, I don’t know.

All that said, I have found the service on my ‘when United’s full’ airline, VS, to be very good too with younger crews.

Is it just me or was one of those two in the Hooters Air pic an Eastenders star?

Yes she does, do you like virgins new livery? its not that new but is this better than the red and pure white?

Am I the only one who’s not a fan of the current Virgin c/s? I don’t find it repulsive or anything, but do find it rather bitty, with uncoordinated bits stuck on in different places.
