It's a different story. Delta, SN Brussels and now BA have all experienced this in recent weeks

Strangely, it was on a LHR-LAX flight.

Are there any known instances of people surviving this sort of trip. Between the cold and the lack of Oxygen at 10,000m, I'm assuming not. Maybe it's time to be more assertive with this kind of incident and instead of expressions of sympathy, airline management should be letting it be known that any...

There are strong rumours that Aer Lingus will base a further aircraft in Cork next summer allowing them to add three or four new routes. Since they fly Poznan-Dublin and their Cork-Warsaw route is regarded as a great success you could consider directly petitioning them with the results of your surve...

isnt it strange that the frequency is higher in eindhoven than in charleroi ? I wonder how long before Eindhoven is a base. It has 8 routes now, which is more than Cork (which admittedly was only made a base to screw up EasjJet) and is fractionally less than Bremen (9 routes) and Stockholm (11 rout...

Since the delay is apparently as a result of the A380's IFE system, what news of aircraft that have been sold for use as a freighter.

Why not move these forward in the production slots if they don't have any problems?

I can't help but think this is a short-sighted move by Aer Lingus. I know people who have chosen to fly with them in recent months to avoid the hassle (never mind the cost) of Ryanair's baggage charge. I also wonder how it will affect code share arrangements with BA and KLM. As an exiled Irishman, I...

Ryanair used to do this (may still do, it's been a while since I flew with them). The bags, assuming they hadn't been used, could be used to contain photographic film. So, holiday makers were able to put their snaps in for processing at the end of the flight. Whether that's worthwhile with so many p...

I'd prefer to see tax on the fuel and have all the silly departure taxes dropped. I'd imagine that countries like Ireland, Malta or Cyprus who are more dependent on air traffic than most might have a problem with this proposal. Also, this could have a negative environmental impact if airlines decide...

CX, just be careful being accused of off topic! :insult: :lol: The Skytrax thing just showed another reason why Aer Lingus doesn't fit any more. I don't see it as a case of not fitting. As has been pointed out, there is little difference between the service provided by Aer Lingus and that provided ...

London Stansted, London Luton, Rome Champino, Berliin Schonefeld, ... The list goes on. In fact, there are even routes where both Easyjet and Ryanair operate head to head LGW-ORK STN-LEI EMA-CIA There are far better revenue opportunities than London. Agreed Even in the UK, there are destinations th...

IB and BA Connect also do not fit in the same alliance... as far as I know they still provide connecting services and a business class...[/quote] They provide a connecting service, but Aer Lingus still does this. BA Connect does not provide business class (except on routes from London City). In add...

I don't think it's just a question of fit. There are considerable overheads in being a member of an alliance. Realistically, an airline needs to ask itself whether the extra revenue can justify the expenditure. This is especially true for smaller alliance members who are really only used as feeders ...

They have just ordered new aircraft, so there is perhaps some longer term hope for the Liege routes.

I suspect what happened is that the collapse of Air Wales (and Ryanair's spat with Cardiff Airport) presented them with an immediate opportunity to take over their profitable routes from Cardiff. This had to be done before anyone else got in on them. They probably reasoned that Liege was higher risk...

It wouldn't cover a flight from many parts of Northern Europe to the Canary Islands. Expect the Spanish to have a fit about it.

Air Wales will be leaving the scheduled passenger business at the end of April. However, Eastern Airways will operate Cardiff-Brussels. For those interested in the non-BRU part of this story, Eastern will also take on CWL-NCL and CWL-ABZ. Aer Arann will take over CWL-ORK. Nobody is taking on ORK-EXT...

The pure jets licensed at the moment are the BAe 146 and RJ100, and the Fokker 70, both no longer in production. Pure jets candidates are : Bombardier CRJ, Embraer 170/190/195 and Airbus A318... The Embraer 135 is licensed and has operated into LCY for Jetmagic (before they went bust...). It's prob...

Try this one from Ryanair.

These are the taxes, fees and charges for day return flights from Cork to Dublin.

March 24th => €32.70
May 18th => €19.96
June 6th => €43.36

Understand it?

I certainly don't.
