I would like to change my username, is this possible? Thanks.

Just a little trip review from LBA – Limoges (France), where I went last Thursday, returning on Sunday night. The flights were with Ryanair, and I paid £77 return each for two of us, I found the prices using Skyscanner back in June, and I booked them on the Ryanair website then. About 6 weeks...

I'm flying to Limoges on Thursday and just wondered if anyone knew if this aircraft is based at LBA? Mainly asking in case it's foggy like it has been early morning of late.

Who do you think the likely operator will be?

The Vulcan was back in our region's skies on Saturday at the Great Yorkshire Air Show 2015. I'm sure many on this page were there (about 20,000 people went) but for those of you who didn't go there's some footage here: [video] . It was a brilliant air show, but unfortunately the traffic chaos...

True, it wasn't absolutely necessary, but I'm not as steady with the camera as I would like to be, and after dropping it the image stabilisation isn't so good, so I use the pole half extended and hold the bottom of it in one hand and the camera in the other to keep it level and steady. :hatsoff:

I was actually over the road on the footpath. The best places for spotting from the pub are parking spaces unfortunately, although the overhead cable really gets in the way of a clear shot. The picnic benches seem to be on the wrong side for watching the runway. As an aside, the Security guard...

Anyone know what just took off from LBA? I'm indoors at Headingley, but it sounded like a military jet.

Thanks for helpful responses, just to add an interesting alternative, I found out that Emirates are starting the A380 to Dubai from DUS this Summer, the DUS - Dubai - Perth option is considerably shorter than most I have looked at time wise, as the connection is only 2h 30m. The price is better...

Thanks for that, very good info, I'll further investigate.

Hi All, I'm looking for some general advice re airlines and routes. My wife and I are looking at flying from either Leeds or Manchester to Sydney on (or around) the weekend of 15/16 August 2015, and returning from Brisbane on or around the weekend of 5/6 September, 2015. On our way either to or...

Here you go, unfortunately a grainy iphone shot, I'd just got off the Monarch from Mahon. http://instagram.com/p/1JqW_VrkTz/

Just looked on SkyScanner, but all I can see is one flight from LBA to FDH on the 18th April for £110.

I had an interesting encounter last week in Durham. I was speaking at an international student conference, and on the same bill was Tony Delahunty, formerly of local BBC. Tony gave a very moving talk about journalism, particularly in relation to the Bradford Fire disaster, at which he was...
