Re: New arrivals for ebbr? Rtbf reportage

From what I heard from an Atco. All departures from 07R, except NIK DENUT HELEN (north, northwest departures) will have to continue runway heading until passing Leuven --> +-8nm before making their turn to eg CIV, SOPOK, ROUSY (south, east departures). Or better let's say, to not overfly the Huldenb...

I think Charlotte is a quite big US hub, maybe a start of their new strategy after the AA merge?

Re: Brussels Airlines introduces free meals/drinks in Blight

Was this an SN operated flight or FlyBe/Tyrolean? Because these always serve a small snack and free drinks on board, thoug they serve non-alcoholic only I believe? Oops non-alcoholic of course!!! And yes, operated by FlyBE, once in FlyBE livery and once in SN livery. A pity it isn't permanent... Ch...

Re: VTM Telefacts 24th Sept: "Ryanair's tricks"

Another interesting quote from the journalist: "Mole has a very smal office (she called it a box) and drinks coffee in platic cups" Maybe the Calimero CEO's who are crying for a "level playing field" can take an example. Regarding your last remark, I tend to disagree, in fact I ...

That is why I use the "Print to PDF" function in Chrome everytime I check-in on the Ryanair website. I put the PDF on my desktop or a USB stick I take with me until after the traveldate and then I can print it as many times as I like until the gate closes! Wow! Just wonder how many people...

Where/how was this picture taken?

Anybody an idea what the story is behind the first picture with Mr Reynders? Which airplane has a minister on a jumpseat and a copilot in the left one?

Re: "Real" last or very last minute tickets ?

Hey Nevitha,

Skyscanner has an easy feature where you can see all promotions leaving from your departure airport and on your dates if you just leave destination blank ;)
Maybe you can give it a try?

Re: Brussels Airlines : cabin crew strike looming

... On the one hand I understand that at SN, CC do it as a career. But honestly, I think that when you accept to work that kind of rosters as a career, it no longer is a matter of vocation or career, but a matter of choice. If you don't like it, you go out there and look for other jobs in customer ...

Re: Paris Air Show 2013 - Latest News

I had hoped that Airbus would not resort to something as irresponsible as to do a fly by with what amounts to an experimental aircraft on its third flight. Amazing. Same ones who did the buzz some years back and took the thing into the trees. And quite the buzz it was indeed :roll: FWIW, it's an ai...
