When SLR introduced the pink jackets for the stewardesses in the 90s, I found themAvro wrote:You're right we'll be able to spot it from very far.
I wonder who would like to fly in an ariplaine that's fully pink. Probably little girls . They could sell Barbies during the flight
Maybe even better. Why don't they make a logo jet for Barbie

But here that beats everything 8O Are the cabin crews going to have pink clothes?
GreetingS...
In your discussions about the (horrible) colours of this new airline, you forget the most important: price.
At least this company will bring down the prices of the LX monopoly (even if you buy your ticket under the SN codeshare) between BRU and ZRH to about 200 EUR for a return ticket.
Thanks, Chris, for this important news topic.

Comet, sorry to say and don't get mad with me but is there something else in aviation that you like besides VLM and old Sabena?Comet wrote:It's bloody hideous.
Who the hell would want to fly on a think that looks like that?
Everything else is bloody horribel or bloody hideous
I mean not that my closet is full with clothes in this color but hey, it is an eyecatcher or not, you have to agree with that.

Erwin - sorry to say that the liveries that I really loved have all gone!
BA replaced their midnight blue with red pinstripe by World Tails.
Air New Zealand replaced their beautifully-coloured blue cheatline with massive lettering on the side of the fuselage.
My all time favourite livery died with my all time favourite airline.
I liked the old Ryanair livery before they changed it.
Airtours had a nice livery before they changed to MyTravel.
The best livery around at the moment is the Sobelair livery.
My favourite aircraft - TriStar, Boeing 747-400, A340, A330, A319/320/321, Boeing 757, Fokker 50, ATR 72, MD-11, MD80/90 (I cannot think of it as the Boeing 717), Boeing 727, Comet, Britannia.
Never let it be said that I don't like anything, it's just that no one ever downloads photos of my favourites. If I don't like something then I will say so.

Sabena and Sobelair - gone but never forgotten.

I don't think that their prices are that low. It'll cost you 242.56 € for a return ticket to Zürich 8O This is very expensive for a low costsn26567 wrote: At least this company will bring down the prices of the LX monopoly (even if you buy your ticket under the SN codeshare) between BRU and ZRH to about 200 EUR for a return ticket.

Mattel is not mentioned, Chris http://www.helvetic.com/Default.aspx?PageID=PartnerMenu
Anyway this airlines seems to fly only for ...german-speaking passengers ...
Ja, ja, Willkommem am Bord http://www.helvetic.com/abb.aspx
Eine grosse Auswahl an Sandwiches und Snacks sowie Getränken sind auf allen Flügen von helvetic gegen Bezahlung erhältlich. Vegetarische Verpflegung ist in der Regel vorhanden, während andere Spezialwünsche wie z.B. Diabetikerkost nicht berücksichtigt werden können.
Die HELVETIC-Crew kann den Fluggast zum Verlassen des Flugzeugs zwingen und es ablehnen, ihn weiterzubefördern. Die HELVETIC kann aus Sicherheitsgründen vom Fluggast die Erlaubnis verlangen, ihn und sein Gepäck zu durchsuchen und zu durchleuchten. Wenn der Fluggast nicht erreichbar ist, kann das Gepäck in seiner Abwesenheit durchsucht und durchleuchtet werden. Entsteht dem Fluggast aus einer Durchsuchung oder Durchleuchtung Schaden oder beschädigt eine Durchleuchtung oder ein Abtasten sein Gepäck, haftet HELVETIC nicht für solche Schäden.
Die HELVETIC kann diesen Fluggast - falls erforderlich und verhältnismässig - vorläufig festnehmen, aus dem Flugzeug verweisen, seine Beförderung auf Weiterflügen an jedem Ort verweigern oder die Beförderung auf dem gesamten Streckennetz untersagen.
.... HELVETIC kann für die Zuweisung der Sitze auch andere, nicht diskriminierende Kriterien anwenden.
Überbuchung
HELVETIC sucht zunächst Fluggäste, die gegen eine angemessene Entschädigung freiwillig auf einen Flug verzichten, für den sie einen Beförderungsanspruch haben.

(That airline with the funny name, they could learn something from Sn Ba, for the paint ... not for the management (spelling?) )

Compared to the 561.68 € quoted today by LX for a non-flexible economy return on 29 Sep, it is cheap. With SN on the same planes, it is even more expensive: 833.68 €.Avro wrote:I don't think that their prices are that low. It'll cost you 242.56 € for a return ticket to Zürich
Why would anyone choose SN over LX. Let Helvetic come in fast!!! Even if I would be ashamed to be photographed in such a plane!

Let's compare what is comparable: a day return on Monday 29 September (no Saturday night stay). I looked on Galileo to compare different airlines. I got 833.68 for SN.Avro wrote:When I do the booking via the SNBA's site it costs 289.74 € and not 833.68
On the SN website, for the same trip it was even 6 cents more: Total fare = 833.74 €

Well, this shows the benefits of competition. A newcomer starts flying a route, and immediately the prices go down. Great news for the passengers! (but maybe not for SN and LX...)Avro wrote:Since Helvetic will start its flights on january the 4th I've done the booking (also a one day trip) for january 2004 on both sites and SNBA was only 40 € more expensive.

I guess this difference in price is not because there is a newcomer, but because you booked a flight which will leave in two days, that's allsn26567 wrote:Well, this shows the benefits of competition.
