Re: Germanwings to replace Lufthansa on STR-BRU route
ICAR? If I remember well, the STR flights to BRU are loaded as Contact Air (Fokker 100) operated as from Summer 2012 (until Germanwings takes over). [/quote] That makes more sense! Thank you. I had just clicked on the SN flight number in their timetable and it says operated by " ICAR" whi...

Re: Germanwings to replace Lufthansa on STR-BRU route
4U can hardly be considered as an LCC on the Lufthansa routes. They have 3 different fares including an unrestricted one at 445 O/W on STR-BRU ! They also have a product called " BEST" on most flights with a wider pitch for the 10 first rows of seats. They have been offering miles for mont...

Re: Lyon opens a terminal for LCC
Transavia france is definitely a low cost airline with about 30 destinations from Paris other cities ( even Lille), bookable on their site. Air Berlin is a sort of half " low cost". They have fairly high prices, at least in Europe, ( Flights to the US are still cheaper than LH ) but they h...

Re: brussels airlines to New York!
A musician friend of mine living in Roubaix travelled to the US 3 times in the last 4 month. Everytime from BRU. Not everybody is a business man and prices are still the n°1 criteria for most people. He did BRU- JFK with JET, BRU-EWR-LAS with CO/UA and BRU-JFK-FLL with AA. In every case, BRU was che...

Re: The most hated airports in the world: 1. CDG 2. LAX 3. L
All big airports can be a nightmare if you have to connect to a different airlines, but I respectfully disagree about CDG. As much as Terminal 1 hasn't aged well, and connection's from T1 to T2 2 can be a serious hassle, connections within terminal 2 are easy, the environment is pleasant and with a ...

Re: Ryanair crew treats heart attack with sandwich and cola
I think everybody is rushing to conclusion without knowing the facts. It looks as if the passenger fell into a diabetic coma ( from the ouside, it looks like a heart attack). Offering him a sandwish and a coke was the absolute appropriate thing to do. In case of hypoglicemia, you have to take quick ...
