Got to agree, the board was cluttered with pointless threads. You had to scroll down half the page, just to see the posts that you wanted to.

Thanks anyhow 🙂

I bought mine today althogh I didnt expect it to be out until next wedensady and I have to say its one of the better issues of the last few months a few of which have been diabolical.

That’s precisely the reason why I stopped my subscription about 6 months ago. I had subscribed for 3 years running and then gave up with the magazine because it was quite simply, rubbish.

Mind you, with an article about the new Bangkok Airport and the new-look Thai Airways, I expect this is one magazine I’ll get to read on the flight down to Paris next week 😛

Great shots. I’m looking forward to seeing some Manchester traffic in August. 🙂

Well at the moment i use a Fuji finepix S5000 which is capable of 6MP and has served me well for a good year and a half. I have beeen doing aviation photography for about 2 yrs but i think it is time for a change for me.
I would love to have a DSLR but the only problem is price. Maybe i shall wait a bit longer until i can afford one…

My camera is the same as yours. Personally, I think that is more than enough. If you can afford a Digital SLR, then get one, but otherwise, leave it. A Digital SLR is certainly not an essential when it comes to aviation photography.

Not sure Easyjet ever implemented that did they? Wasnt it FlyBe who did?

I’m not sure about Flybe, but I’m almost certain that I read on this forum that it was easyJet who were going to introduce this ‘service’. Not a bad idea, but hardly fair on those who think that by getting to the airport 10 hours before their flight, they are going to board the aircraft first and secure the best seats. Probably best that any low cost airline steers clear of this if you ask me.

Never flown flybe before do they have a sit-where-you-like policy?

Exactly! 😀 Aren’t Aer Lingus ‘no frills’ these days? 😉 :rolleyes:

Absolutely! There is no inflight service included in the cost of your ticket and if you want purchase snacks and beverages, you pay the same ridiculous prices as you do with low cost carriers and charter airlines.

There main advantage is the fact that they offer cheap fares some of the time and they do actually fly to popular destinations, primarily Heathrow.

I heard they are due to pull out of the oneworld Alliance? If this is true, its great news. Aer Lingus operating codeshare services with British Airways just doesn’t work since the Aer Lingus experience is comparable only to Ryanair. It cannot in any way be compared with the outstanding British Airways service with which many of us are familiar.
