Saturday July 24th 1990 i think it was, well the flight would of been around 10pm, i do remember a blue interior and the aircraft been a narrow body. The following year in 1991 i went to same hotel in Benidorm but that was an airtours md83, i remember that for certain. Barcelo Peublo was the hotel in Benidorm.
17th October 1973 was date my dad flew MAN-GRO.
Sunworld holidays 1990’s
Which airline operated charters for Sunworld holidays back in the early 90’s to Alicante from Manchester before Airtours. I flew MAN- Alicante in 1990 on a night flight and thinking of possible airlines it may of been back then.

What are EZY A319’s like to fly on ? Legroom, overall comfert etc
Best and worst aircraft (flown on)
My best are.
1) L1011 (Smooth, comfertable and still should be flying)
2) 737-800 (Nice aircraft to fly on especially the Thomson ones)
3) 757-200 (Best take off sound there is)
4) 777-200 (Nice roomy modern planes)
5) A330-200 (Nice large aircraft)
My worst are
1) A300 B4 (Very cramped)
2) A321 (Never will be the 757)
3) 767-200 (Too cramped and badly layed out)
4) md83 (Too long and too thin)
5) 767-300 (The 2-4-2 on charter flights is awfully cramped)
any pictures of what theyre like on the basement ?
L1011’s
I watched a film passenger 57 and noticed that L1011’s have lifts onboard and they make use of the underneath section of the aircraft.
Never really noticed this before.
Tommy’s Question Thread
What are the best and worst airlines you have flown with past and present
My best are
1. United Airlines (Nice 777 planes, spacious, great food)
2. British Airways (Most spacious 767’s ive been on, great service and great food)
3. Britannia Airways (Miles better than Thomsonfly and you got more for your money back then)
4. Caledonian Airways (A ride on an L1011 was brilliant but Caledonian were great to fly with)
5. Air 2000 (An airline that i sadly miss, like Britannia, british charters were alot better back in the 90’s)
My worst are
1. Air Scandic (Cow boy airline with lenghty delays)
2. Monarch (Appalling customer service and rude cabin crew)
3. Spanair (Awful food uncomfertable aircraft)
4. Flyglobespan (If there was a delay things when **** up)
5. Jet2 (Very uncomfertable cramped seats and ripping out the IFE system takes the mick)
Would Leeds get a 767 ?
Also why not get ex GSM ones ?
They should upgrade to a 757 at LBA.
What happened to 737-800 G-FDZT that was suppose to be arriving ?
Are they repainting anymore a/c before the summer.
Does jethros know ?
Did they have any MD83’s operating perminant flights from MAN last summer ?
