Yes and no: the small pier has been demolished, but not the sattelite! Pier and sattelite together were "pier C"

Aren't rear facing seats pretty standard on Business Jets? I have to ask because I've never flown one in my life. ;-)

I remember flying an NFD ATR 42 in a rear viewing seat. It was fun as we were 4.

I think this idea is very good! No more problems when a Sumo wrestler tries to squeeze into the seat next to you!

Kind regards,

Dear Skystef,

Thanx for the explanation! And my apologies for the mistake with the date. I was convinced it was the 18th today! My mistake! Stupid me!

Not just AA and DL, also CO and I was booked on them. AA was rebooking on other airliners and taking care of their passengers. CO could only rebook me on themselves 4 days later! I'll remeber this joke when I book in the future, 777 or no 777! Anyhow, I cancelled my reservation and booked Condor out...

anyway, I would love to see some REAL planes in the VLM fleet in stead of those small Fokkertjes. I think a 737 would look gorgeous in VLM colors.... :D I tend to disagree. People are very strange, when people have to board, there's never a hassle or stress, however, when a 737 has to board... I re...

Dear Eurfighter, it's not just the booking engine or the "response" to e-mails, it's the impossibility to book beyond 24/3/2007, the waiting times when you call, the inability to speak dutch, the problems to get all the miles to your account etc. etc.. Pretty frustrating for a tool that wa...

Dear Chris, my father wanted to book a flight with miles somewhere in May with SN to Naples: when you try this, the system says they don't fly the route. When you try to call SN, nobody picks up (he gave up after 30 minutes). He wrote an email and got an answer that they got his mail and that they w...

In China people tend to stand up after touch down as well, probably due to lack of experience with air travel, but normally the crew then starts yelling that they have to sit down.

Beetje off topic, maar toch...

Je zal merken dat als een krant een artikel schrijft over iets waar je veel van afweet dat je zeer veel onzin leest in dat artikel. Het probleem is dat we die onzin voor waarheid nemen als we niets van het onderwerp afweten.

It's not really spotting, but it's really great and has to do with Google Earth:

You can see the flightpaths of all aircraft in and out of AMS in 3D! I would love to have that for BRU!

If it's true I still would have prefered a second daily flight in the evening, but that's of course thinking as a traveller, not as a spotter. ;-)

When I was working in the airline business (weekends while I was studying), I flew a couple of times on interline tickets to LHR, not to spot, but to shop and visit musea! It was a wonderfull time!
