I'm going to be a bore and say that I didn't vote. All the schemes I've really liked no longer exist!! I liked the old British Airways one with the midnight blue underside and coat of arms on the tail fin, but they removed that design for those awful "World Tails". I liked the Sabena schem...

The flight left MAN at 11.30am and I left DUB at 2.45pm, but from what I read in an Irish newspaper, EI are reducing the meals service on all the flights. On Sabena's morning flights from MAN (the one I flew on, SN2174 which left at 10.55am) I was served a sandwich, a Twix chocolate bar and a can of...

My first flights of the year. On 16th June I flew between Manchester and Dublin with Aer Lingus on BAe 146 EI-CTM. The flight lasted forty minutes and cruised at around 16,000 feet. The aircraft had leather seats all through, the first I've come across since flying on an Avro of Sabena back in 2000....

I thought that maybe Antwerp would be something like London City, but it sounds quiet in comparison! It's a pity that the Welcome Air flight is not on a Monday or Wednesday as they are the days that I'll be there, and I've never seen their aircraft. VLM are okay to film, but I'll be at LCY on the da...

Thanks

What is Antwerp Airport like for spotting and photography? Are there any good viewing areas in the terminal? I will be going there in six weeks and would like to go prepared!!

I tried to vote for the Boeing 717, but an error message prevented me from registering my vote!! Go and check this link you might not be the only one who experienced some problems. I think as a tried, tested and very well proven design, the Boeing 717 is hard to beat. Okay, the basic design is deca...

I tried to vote for the Boeing 717, but an error message prevented me from registering my vote!! I think as a tried, tested and very well proven design, the Boeing 717 is hard to beat. Okay, the basic design is decades old from the DC9, but the avionics have been updated and it is still a fine aircr...

Quite simply, Air New Zealand is the worst airline I've ever experienced. My problems with this carrier began even before I had reached the airport. I had booked a multi-stopover holiday taking in Los Angeles, Sydney, Auckland and Hawaii, all flights with Air New Zealand, and how I regretted flying ...

For most beautiful aircraft (this one always crops up on another forum I post on) what about the Lockheed TriStar? Or the Comet? Or the VC10? The A340 always looked good in Sabena colours, especially with those dark blue engine cowlings, the livery suited the type perfectly. As for another Belgian 7...

I was having problems with this site yesterday - first with the Forums link from the homepage, and then the homepage itself. I kept getting an error message saying "fatal error" with both pages.

What can beat nine days in Mechelen, flying from London City (great airport, especially on the approach) with VLM? Don't forget to make pics of the inflight meals (snacks :wink:) Have a nice stay in Belgium Greetz Chris :wink: If I know VLM I will be served a sandwich (or a bag of peanuts)!! But if...

I hate that livery!! I read on another forum that it was seen at LCY doing a flight to Rotterdam, I hope it doesn't have a regular LCY-ANR run, I don't want to turn up at LCY on 1st September to discover I'm on this aircraft, I much prefer their regular livery.

I think I must be the only person who does not like these winglets, I asked this question on another forum last week, and everyone else disagreed with me. I do prefer the winglets on the 747-400, the 747 series looks better with them, but I don't think they look as good on a smaller aircraft.

Yes Andre - I am the same "Comet" - I use that name on all civil aviation forums, makes it easier to remember.
Sorry for this late reply to the post, but my computer has been playing up a little bit in the past few days.

The blended winglets look absolutely horrid, looks like Uri Geller has been at the end of the wing and done one of his bending tricks on it. They don't look right on the 737s, and by that I mean all winglets, not just the blended type.

Holidays - my favourite subject!!! I've had one holiday this year - Dublin for three days with Aer Lingus. The best is yet to come though!!! What can beat nine days in Mechelen, flying from London City (great airport, especially on the approach) with VLM? I don't know Mechelen, and would be grateful...

Okay, this flight was last year, but I've only just discovered this forum (good range of topics by the way!!) These were my first flights with VLM, having been a die-hard Sabena fan before the bankrupcy. I found London City an easy airport to use. It is excellent for spotting, with a long walkway pa...
