More services from Miles&More

I have just read the post under Latest News and Press Releases concerning so called "more services" from Miles&More. The only thing I can conclude and have been concluding for some time now, is that it is getting increasingly difficult to understand how the programme works and that it ...

Re: Farewell : Last flight of SN RJ85 !

:shock:
Heureusement, le ridicule ne tue pas. Sinon SN aurait été mort depuis longtemps.
I's a good thing that ridicule does not kill anyone, otherwise SN would have been dead since long ago.

@Stij :

Remember that MOL is basically nothing more than a beancounter at the head of a multinatinal entreprise.
As such, he will admit to nearly anything as long as it means making more money.

Re: scottish independance aviation consequences

If the YES wins next Thursday, having a flag carrier is surely one of the last things among the concerns of the newly independent country. There are enough airlines operating to Scotland for the country not to be isolated.

Re: Brussels Airlines announces new short haul product

:roll: What is normal height and weight ?
So many people are overweight today that they don't fit in an economy seat without invading their neighbour's space.
People of "normal height and weight" are an exception today.

Re: Ryanair in 2014

FR has launched our business plus pack! It would be more accurate to call it Business Minus, but FR is not used to call a spade a spade and is used to calling Hahn > Frankfurt, Skvasta > Stockholm, Charleroi > Brussels South etc... and uses names which don't match their designations. Nothing new. A...

Re: Replacement of Brussels Airlines' Boeing & Avro RJ fleet

Isn't it because LH does not want to make any commitment that the decision on SN's fleet reNEWal is regularly postponed ?

Re: Brussels Airlines announces new short haul product

I neither hate nor love brussels airlines. I fly with them regularly, so I know their products. When they say "Wiggle your legs on board. Plenty of space for that", it makes me shout. 30 inches is standard in the lower economy segment, but it's unacceptable in business class and in premium...

Re: Brussels Charleroi to Skavsta for just €19.99

Bus fare one way Skvasta to downtown Stockholm : 15 euros. Travel time : 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Ryanair CRL to Skvasta, flight time : 2 hours and 5 minutes.
In terms of travel time, the bus is more expensive than the plane. Wonder why FR is not flying Airbus ?
