Re: Where will you fly in 2010 ?

FRA-PDX EDDF-KPDX Frankfurt-Portland Int. In July/August i think. Hope it will be operated then by a A380 or a 787 :lol: Sorry to burst your bubble, but... FRA-PDX was recently cut by LH (last flight operating somewhere in September I think) :o on topic: lots of plans but it's way too early for me ...

Re: UA: A weekend in Vegas part II: IAD-LAS in Y+ (+pics)

Wow. Just wow. That's a great report + awesome pictures ! I know it's more about the photographer's skills but could you share with us what camera / lens you are using? Empty streets in Vegas? They looked pretty crowded to me for the week I was there (especially at night). Then again, this was our f...

Re: US Airways: a tale of party people and gremlins - part II

@ Stij: 1) I have only flown 2 other american companies I can compare them with. 1) UA on SFO-FRA with the only good thing about that flight being the fact that channel 9 was enabled :ugeek: and 2) Delta on BRU-JFK and back when that route was still operated by a 763. Service on all of them was inde...

Re: ESTA:New compulsory online registration for travellers to US

@Bralo20: applied for ESTA as well and it really only takes a few minutes indeed. If I understand correctly, the two (ESTA and I-94 form) will co-exist at least for a few more months (transition period) so if you are flying to the US within the next month or so I'm pretty sure you'll still have to f...

Re: KLM will replace it's Fokker 50, 70, 100

Was hoping to see the F50's go first but according to what I found on the KLM site that's not going to happen anytime soon... IMHO the F50 is a great aircraft for an airline like VLM and a route like BRU-LCY where there's not a lot of luggage but for KLM on the BRU-AMS route for instance where all p...

Re: SN 2613 cancelled on 7 Nov ?

Don't know how many flights brussels airlines has to mxp on a daily base but I know the first morning flight BRU-MXP was cancelled...

Makes sense that if the plane never leaves BRU, it's not going to return either ;)
