Thanks for this pleasant flight-report.

A pity you went to Sevilla for a business-meeting as the city is reportedly worth visiting.

EasyJet's no-frills policy extends to flight's baggage

Nearly 200 angry easyJet passengers on a cut-price trip to Italy did not expect "no frills" to mean "no baggage". Travellers were left without their luggage after the company insisted that the flight should take off with an empty hold.

My last Air Wales experience : CWL-BRU 6G 752 on 06/04/2006

After spending a few nice days visiting Swansea, Cardiff (whose Castle is really worth visiting) and, last but not least, shopping, it was unfortunately time to say « Bye bye Wales ». We left our hotel for the nearby bus-station and waited for the X91 service replacing the « AirbusXpress » by Cardif...

Eastern Airways to re-launch Brussels-Cardiff in June.

When budget carrier Air Wales decided to cease passengers operation, full-service airline Eastern announced it would re-launch the Brussels-Cardiff route. Since 24/04/2006 that route has been unserved and has not been bookable through Eastern's website. This afternoon I got the following e-mail from...

Today they have added a new Knock to Dublin route. It is not really professional if you ask me. However that does not surprise me......

Thanks for the nice report. We left our car at AirParking and were mini-bussed to the front of the departure hall. How much cheaper or perhaps more convenient is the AirParking on the Vilvoordelaan, compared with the regular parking lots at the airport itself? Their prices range from € 9,80 (for 13...

My first Air Wales experience : 6G 751 BRU - CWL on 03/04/06

As I wanted to discover Wales and, let's be honest, fly a new type (read the ATR-42) I decided to book Air Wales tickets in mid-February 2006. I paid € 120,66 for a Monday morning Brussels-Cardiff and a Thursday-evening Cardiff-Brussels. One month before the scheduled departure date, I read on the c...

I wonder what they will say at the reception thursday. If they cancel two routes, their so-called timetable for the London service will need some updating. I really doubt it can be a success!
