RE: Hate particular Airline/ Aircraft?
Of course I didn´t meant Americans in general were arrogant, but I refered to American airlines crews. I have flown in AA, UA, TWA and USairways, Continental, and i found the same pattern. Not really concerned about board service. Just peanuts in three hours flight or simply a drink in most of them. I suppose in America customers appreciate other things. I have crossed the atlantic on TWA and Continental and they were so far the worst airlines ever flown with. In TWA…..salad and cold turkey, entreteinment system completely broken. In CO I have flown Business First which was supposed to be a premium alternative, and no compared to other European first classes. The others domestic flights in the US and not so much smiles, not friendly behaviour, Specially if someone didn´t speak English or were from Spanish origen. Sorry if I disturbed you.
RE: Hate particular Airline/ Aircraft?
I hate the B737. I don´t trust it, I hate the rudder design, the size of engines (squashed on the lower part) its too low, I hate cabin layout and it´s everywhere. As far as airlines. I hate Spanair and american ones (too arrogant crews and limited service). Spanair…too many fights cuts over here.
RE: PIA ban lifted by India
That a good move to normalize the situation between both countries.
RE: France and BELGIUM!!!!!!!
Today we have made our reservations and have decided what to do. We decided to go to Iran, but my girlfriend wouldn´t enjoy fifty degrees under her chador and I am not particularly amused to fly Iran Air. Uzbekistan fully booked, so we have decided for a Cruise along the Volge from Moscow to St Petersburg. We will be flying Lufthansa. Nothing particularly risky.
RE: American Invation and Agression
Invade Holland?. Don´t worry guys, they would probably be thinking that The Netherlands are a region of Iraq…my God. I think someone should tell some american politians, not to take drugs, or mix them with medicines. It´s something so annoying that it doesn´t even deserve to be commented.
RE: Please be honest.
I don´t understand why someone should hide his/her nationality. There are not bad or good nationalities. All countries are good with possitive and negative things. As far as I am concerned. Spanish, since the settlers of these part of the country came from germany Shwaben….Baden Wütterberg.
RE: bmi baby jet struck by lightning
Lightening isn´t supposed to be dangerous. So….mamma mia….scarry. I will take care more when I have to fly on a plane in a stormy day. Last august as I was taking off from Sofia in a Swissair A320, there were thunders and lightening all over, and I wasn´t much scared. So…..things change.
RE: IBERIA, BEST EUROPEAN AIRLINE
Well, lots to say about our Iberia. Not really impressed of them. Reliable, safe with superb piltos and training, but arrogant management team, indolent and apathic crews, old fashion image and quite discrete cabin service. On the other hand the network is too conservative. Good network for latinamerica and Western Europe, still lacks of destinations in Far East, Africa or Asia. On the other way, within Spain too centralized hub policies which makes many regions to be virtually isolated, high fares (no competence at all) and too many monopolistic tendencies. And they earn lots of money due to robbing literally our wallets.
RE: Funniest event on board
Hundred per cent real….pure facts.
RE: AIRBUS or BOEING
The level of confort of a A310 or any other aircraft doesn´t depend on the model but configuration and pitch between seats. Of course a charter could be unconfortable (as a B777 cramped with seats) but models like the ones of Royal Jordanian or Yemenia with only 190 seats are great. I insert a nice one landing here, from New York. I hope you like it. And they are really safe and stable. Even the Spanish new Royal aircraft will be a A310. A jewel for kings:-)

RE: AIRBUS or BOEING
I know it´s not estetic. It´s funny and sweet. Like a big flying pig.
RE: AIRBUS or BOEING
Well, depends. Being European and Spain parcipating in its construction, I am glad to see Airbus success and usually prefer Airbus. This doesn´t mean that I hate Boeing (like many people who project their patriotic feeling to planes), and like some of Boeing models like the B757, B747 and the B777. I liked the B727. I do hate the B737. As far as Airbus is concerned, I like the A320/321, A310 and the A340. I don´t like the A319.
RE: IBERIA A300
They are phasing out all and changing it for A340-300. I think they have just got rid of the last one. Not sure about it.
RE: Going On Holiday?
We have a saying here: We are as odd as green dogs. We enjoy cultural destinations more than sun and palmtrees. Ubzbekistan is a romantic place, specially the stars of Samarkanda 🙂
RE: Indian Civil Aviation Disaster!
I think, airlines are exagerating a bit. I don´t really see any potential danger of war between both countries. There have been too many years with tensions, nothing new. With nuclear weapons, they know that they have to keep quiet. I hope Kabir could give a more detailed analysis
