I really liked Fankfurt Airport. It’s really modern amd clean. everything is very efficient and works well. It’s the complete opposite of LHR which is quite frankly an embarrement to the UK.
Yes, it was T1 I flew from which is mainly LH with a few other star alliance airlines. The viewing platform has a small fee but it’s worth it. You have to be searched but it’s not a problem if your just going up there to take pics and see the planes.

Whilst I was staying in Germany I went on thr tour of FRA airport. You pay for the ticket (not much) and then you are led with all the other people downstairs and onto a bus. Before you get on the bus you are searched. Then you sit down and when everyone is on you drive to and go through the airside gates where the bus itself is checked (for a bomb or something I expect).

You drive around the and the tour guide says what’s going on and a bit about the airport. Although it’s in German it’s still fun to look and see what’s going on. My friend speaks fluent German as well as English as his parents are German so he could translate. The whole tour lasts about 40/45 mins and you go all around the airport except the USA militarty section for obvious reasons and for the fact that we would have to cross an active runway.

I saw loads of LH’s everywhere, the new UA livery 777 a BA A319 a TCX (Condor) 763 a Varig MD-11 plus LOADS of other things. The cargo section had a Fedex MD-11 and a TNT 146 as well as other a/c. The bus driver stopped next to the runway so we could see an AA 762 taking off right next to us.

I would definatly reccomend FRA airport to fly from or to look around and take pictures..

So do I MEA.

I think a.net should become free.

a.net must be getting a lot of money out of it, after all how much does it cost to keep a forum open? I can’t imagine it’s much.
I did think about joining but when I discovered that there were other forums which were free I didn’t bother.

no worries….:D

I agree with you dave. It’s the same thing at christmas in supermarkets, street and public christmas lights etc. At easter some people complained about hot cross buns being sold at tesco and that it may offend some people.

PLEASE don’t get me wrong!! – I think we should like we do live in a country where we are all treated them same and everything is fair to EVERYONE but sometimes I do get the feeling that England is loosing it’s identity.

I think England should do a lot more for St George’s day and it does seem strange that we do lot more St Patrik’s day but that’s in Ireland.

Happy St Georges day everyone!…
