To Fredje Sabena_690: I walked. I think I wrote it in my report. I did not want to spend 3£ (even company's money) for 300 m on a shuttle. The travel agent told us that the shuttle bus costs £2 and that it is impossible to walk from the airport railway station to the hotel. The railway station is ju...

One day more in February is a little more than 3%. Hence the increase remains noticeable, even i there had been only 28 days.

After Ryanair banning 8 pax for smoking in a plane, easyJet also takes tough action. Well done!

The ban on one airline should be extended to all airlines: get those troublemakers out of the air! ICAO or IATA or whatever should have a black list of black sheep!
