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...

At that time they were still manufacturing the DC10 and the so called DC9-80 later rebranded MD80. It was my only...

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...

... and even before. The flight was continuing to Madrid, final destination. In the other direction it served both Peking (or Beijing as they say now...) and Shanghai.

Why should HBA leave Brussels? That is about the only long-haul destination they can fly to. And their weekly flight (doubled in summer) makes good business apparently.

The worst flight I had was aboard a Beechcraft from White Plains, NY, to Montreal Mirabel in the 80s. The plane was on time, no problem, but encountered heavy turbulence and storm weather. This smallplane was shaken as a leave and I became sick, the only time in 45 years flying! The worst incident w...

The A380 looks massive indeed. But wasn't that also the first impression of people who saw the B747 for the first time?
