    Personally I find Star Alliance better for support and points! I think their website lets you configure routes RTW?

    From digging a bit more, you will be going to a local community centre or hotel to sign in, be searched and then travel by bus to the terminal.

    Ive applied for two October dates and am on the short list.

    Mark,

    You are totally flawed in your opinions above, in my opinion.

    Normally on this forum people do post about things like aircraft colliding on the ground. Mytravel and Bmibaby at Manchester anyone?

    I think you are trying to make a point about it being the silly season in the press but, for example, if an aircraft goes around for a safety reason such as perhaps a unauthorised vechile or item on the runway this would be out of the ordinary and the press will pick up on it.

    Ok if it went around for more “normal” reasons like it wasnt configured for landing or the previous aircraft had been a bit slow, I agree it shouldn’t be reported to the wider public but surely it should be on an aviation forum where some people will take interest?

    I think you think we should only discuss big stories? Feel free not to involve yourself in smaller news topics if you wish – don’t try to avoid them being posted.

    How they they “float” the two sections without sinking them as i imagine unless they blew up at a bulk head (how accurate are explosives) there would be alot of holes to let water in?

    Well done Adam! Sounds like you have an ideal job with an ideal view! You seem to be good in a good position to progress up the airports management levels so maybe you are the future MD whom will build lots of facilities for spotters 😉 !

    Aer Lingus have annouced four daily flights each way between Belfast Intl and Heathrow. They want to make Belfast Intl into their UK Hub.

    According the farmer who reported it to police, the landing gear nearly hit his straw pile. A 600ft straw pile? Im surprised it doesnt blow away!

    If correct, that would explain the aircraft’s general left hand trend towards the end of its illfated landing.

    That’s what i thought.

    TAM have annouced that the right engine’s thrust reverser was “deactivated” at the time of the accident.
