Hi Stij, I flew Egyptair last September to ADD. All 4 flights were performed with a B737. Personally I think it is an OK airline for a 4-5 hours flight. Legroom is sufficient in economy, food is OK without being superb by any means. The Y cabin however feels a bit cramped in case of a full house, es...

Well done! Thanks, Yannick!

Thanks for the advise so far! They want to fly to LAX/SFO. SN might be an option, with a short stop in the Big Apple, but I assume LH/LX will be more logical options. I guess a phone call might be the best thing I can do :) In case we have found the correct booking classes and seats are available in...

Dear all, My father in law made many intercontinental trips lately and wants to surprise his wife with flight tickets in business class to the US. Therefore he asked me to help him find "tickets in economy class that allow them to upgrade to business based on the miles he has saved so far"...

I arrived 3 hours before departure at the airport together with my girlfriend, was a frequent flyer close to being silver, was 25 years old, dressed comfortably because I would travel for 24 hours, had a backpack instead of a trolley or other suitcase, had a really cheap ticket and got upgraded to b...

Is it true the Dutch national football team will arrive (or has arrived) by plane?

I am very lucky to have some family living in St Maarten (hence my name on this forum) so I have been there quite some times so far. I cannot believe what these people did! From my previous experiences: the approaches are very nice and beautiful, but when a plane takes off you'ld better go and watch...

My girlfriend got the same on the afternoon flight between BRU and LHR two weeks ago. On friday I will take that flight too, so I am curious to see what I will get.

So far:

Feb 23: BRU-LHR (Brussels Airlines)
Feb 23: LHR-JNB (Virgin Atlantic)
March 3: JNB-WHD (Air Namibia)
March 5: WDH-JNB (Air Namibia)
March 9: JNB-LHR (Virgin Atlantic)
March 10: LHR-BRU (Brussels Airlines)

:o Somalia ? Are you sure ? I would be surprised if any airline would be considering starting up flights to that dreadful place ? Would there be any pax for that place - I guess most NGO's fly in with chartered planes ? According to UN in 2009 14% of Somalia's population lived abroad (in total more...

In one week from now I'll be on a domestic Mahan Air-flight. I'm aware of the reputation of aviation in Iran. It might be better not to talk about this incident with my parents before I leave.

Upcomming september I will fly to Tehran. Some weeks ago I got an email that on our way back (with a BMI A321) an extra stop is added (in Yerevan, Armenia). I guess it looks like the 'fuel war' will continue for some time. Btw, even with Ethiopian Airlines passengers remain on board while refuelling...

So far: BRU-ADD-JNB (Ethiopian) JNB-CPT-JNB (FlyMango) JNB-ADD-BRU (Ethiopian) Booked: BRU-FRA-IKA (Lufthansa, my first time in a 747) IKA-LHR-BRU (BMI, although I got a message there will be an extra stop in Yerevan - does anyone know if this stop still is a result of the 'fuel war' between Iran an...

Does anyone have any idea what the registration code is from the Ethiopian Airlines-bird who's flying back to ADD tonight?
Thanks in advance!

For those who don't speak French, there is a similar article on New York Times online:

If you look well you will see the picture was added after my forum post. (thank you very much for doing that btw )

Happy New Year to all btw!

Pity you don't have a picture of the Corsair 747. My cousin was on that plane after his first RTW (living in SXM he actually sailed all the way from SXM to Mackay, Australia and visited me in Belgium afterwards (his first snow in 8 years)).

Well done, Regi.

Brilliant report about unusual locations and flights. If security is almost non-existent in Mozambique, I'm pretty sure that transit passengers in JNB must be thoroughly checked! Thank you, sn26567! At the Vilankulos Airport-wikipedia site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilankulo_Airport) I just rea...
