Right-clicking "show image" did the trick! Thanks for niice illsutrated report, Louise.

Louise,

Your pictures do not appear! They are repalced by small red crosses in a black square...

Good picture, given the weather conditions.

I have 2 questions:

Load factor? (a sharper pic could have shown the number of faces in the windows )

Are these flights considered as charters? They do not appear in the OAG

Hi TWA. Happy Birthday to you, and have a lot of fun at your party!

I think that there is more truth behind this than you think, André... Frederic, I also heard yesterday that the agreement for the new Brussels Region government took a long time to be sealed bacuse of the aircraft noise issue. What I read is that the new Brussels Region government will oppose any i...

Thanks, Air_lac

Apparently there is not a lot of variety on Thomas Cook. I had exactly the same. Twice!

My best flight? Undoubtedly BRU-JFK on a Sabena 747-200 in First (with the lounge in the upper deck). As a frequent flyer on that route, I had been upgraded from Business. Eeverything was close to perfection: meals, drinks, service on board, the upper deck lounge with genuine Cuban cigars and after-...

Thanks for telling your experience, JDarby. And welcome to Luchtzak.

Our member nwa757 will surely appreciate

A travel agent booked me on AEROFLOT I also had a bad experience on an Aeroflot domestic flight on a Tu-134 from Moscow SVO to Minsk (Belarus, at that time part of the Soviet Union). Russian passengers were separated from the international passsengers, who were paying much more for the same trip. R...

I had three flights on commercial airliners until now, and they were all good experiences ! Robin, the statistics show that you will have a bad experience once in a while: lost baggage (or even items stolen in your baggage, as it happened to me on a BRU-FCO flight on VEX), severe turbulences, cance...

Thanks for nice tour report, Eduardo. espacially for the impressive figures. I visited the Long Beach facility on a business trip in the 80es, when it was still called McDonnell-Douglas. At that time they were still manufacturing the DC10 and the so called DC9-80 later rebranded MD80. It was my only...

I had once seen a website on that topic. I cannot retrieve it anymore.

You could nevertheless have a look at this one. It gives interesting information (mainly for the US):

Nice report Air_Lac. You had a similar experience to mine when I flew to Lanzarote in Premium class ( https://www.aviation24.be/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5131 and https://www.aviation24.be/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5132 ): FQ outbound, DE inbound). But y...

Welcome, Walter. A3XX is now officially A380

She's not putting them away, but distributing them. I also always ask for my newspaper (the very one which is on top of the pile), even when I am in Y-class, and usually get one, even if I'm not allowed one...

Funny, that name "Avanti" when the propellers are in the back!

The first reason is that they stop flying to BRU with their own equipment and start codesharing with SN. This is then done to open another route in Europe or somewhere else. I don't think so. For Congo, Brussels has always been the main European destination. They would rather fly their own plane to...
