No more LH A380 between FRA and SIN?

Hello all, I was just checking my trip at checkmytrip.com and saw that SIN - FRA LH779 on april 9 has been downgraded from A380 to B747. Anyone know why? I prefered the A380 because of the new and modern interior. I remember flying PEK-BRU on LH B747 a few years ago and it had no IFE in coach. Is th...

Re: Etihad Airways, Brussels call center

I had a very good experience with the Etihad call center. Just called them regarding my reservation to BKK. I didn't chose seats during the booking process because there were no window seats available on all of the 4 legs. Also, me and my gf would like to sit next to eachother, which turned out to b...

Re: BIMAN delay at BRU

Thanks for info, as Biman was written in capitals in the title I thought it was something like a special flight, not a company. Wasn't aware that Biman was the name of a company. If you read the other replies it all refers to some strange events of the days that Biman used Brussels as a fuel stop o...

Zo snel mogelijk telefoontje plegen met de dienst reserveringen van de maatschappij. Ik denk wel dat ze de situatie zullen begrijpen. Bij een "involuntary rebooking" heeft men mij altijd gratis omgeboekt en een zitje aangeboden op een aantal vroegere / latere vluchten indien er plaats is n...

Re: Miles & More, new to the whole thing

Hey Fretn,

Since you are flying a OneWorld airline, you will not get any miles in your Miles and More account. ;-)

If you fly AA/OW regulary, you can always sign up with one of their loyality programs.

Re: The one and only which runway in use @ EBBR-topic

Expected weather tomorrow: average to powerful NW winds with gusts up to 50-60 km/h. Any idea what runway will be in use for landing and take-off?

Might consider going to BRU to test my new EF-S 55-250mm lens :)

Thanks and greetz,
