The only complaint I have with the 319 is in terms of comfort. I am 6’3 and the seats were too close together and too narrow to afford and comfort. I could not have gone on for much longer without having to get up, and as such have booked via Luton for my next trip, as I do find the 737s more comfortable.

I’ve noticed this too – once had a LGW based A319 G-EZSM sub for EZY out of LPL to CDG – certainly a lot less comfy!

Didnt LBA have B747’s to YYZ via BHX in the late 1980’s

Yes, of Wardair Canada on a friday if my memory is correct – a Canada flight would again work from LBA – it was pulled around the decline after 9/11

The LCY/INV rumours are interesting – a new route north, and a consolidation of the southbound route – possably with transit pax from INV as opposed to the EZY/BA services? A SAAB 2000 would be a nice change from the EZE JS41s and 32s buzzing about!

cool will be nice to see BA back in LPL

They operate this each summer.

Last years ops where DHC-8 with the odd E145 now and again.

Just routed through AMS on the way home from work, the Varga Girl is on the rear fuselage trailing the flag which runs into the tail – didn’t look too exciting really – but it was from a distance!

Is this a new scheduled route or were they coming in for a charter?

New scheduled service, from which pax can go through to NQY and PLH via BRS.

and didnt you have something slightly more important to be doing at the time? 😀

Thats the beast!

Isnt it the case that we come to expect this now, because we have seen them so many times. Some infact worse than this

G-FHAJ was truely appalling at one stage. AIH tail, MYT stickers, large MYTRAVELLITE.COM stickers on the rear fuselage, and a mix of blue and orange engine cowlings, oh yes, and a red SSV stripe instead of the old green AIH ones!
