    Good thread,

    From my own experiences I found the following very good:

    1.Auckland – spacious & easy going,not cramped in like others.
    2.Singapore – very classy,altho western food choice limited but sure thats not really their fault!
    3.Heathrow,at certain places is old but the old place functions very well,never had a problem getting a seat in T1 or even waiting to board an A380 in T3.
    4.Dublin,hell of alot of work gone in over the years,scrubs up well,Pier D especially,really liked old Pier C but is now going to be T2.
    5.Katowice,brand new terminal,very nice & pleasant-eurosport HD for the winter olmypics 😉

    Worst:
    1.Alicante -no where to sit in 2004!
    2.Birmingham – again quite bad,queing in a pub to board.
    3.Palma Mallorca – Again no where really to sit if busy,horrible atmosphere
    4.Manchester – T1 isnt a nice place to be -simple as
    5.Gatwick South – feels like being an extra in the shawshank redemption going through security,need knocking.

    The aviation interest/hobby has been life long,natural progression was to photography when i could afford a proper SLR camera,a film Nikon F55 in 2004.Bought a fuji S5600 in 2007 & quite quickly gained some good skills going to a Nikon D50 in summer 07,I was very happy to acquire a Nikon D80 in spring 08,the quality of my lens wasnt what i liked (sigam 70-300mm),so completed my final jigsaw piece in terms of quality by getting a sigma 70-200 F2.8 in summer 08,since then ive been fine tuning my skills,so ive posted a comparison of my 1st digi stuff to my most recent:

    Hmm with regards to settings,as the light in that case is quite low,its very hard to get sharp photos.Try aperture priority to its lowest setting,depending on what lens in use,could be as low as F2.8.If you dont mind noise/grain you could bump up the ISO numbers?

    Personally Id choose the A340 from a rarity point of view,and also the 2-4-2 config,the 747 wins for speed,i gather on a typcial HKG-LHR flight its 45 mins faster than the airbus.
