    Well thanks to a PPI claim I’ve just had approved I can tick off one of the places I’ve wanted to visit for many a year....Dallas. I’ve always been fascinated by the JFK assassination and conspiracy theories. So in November BA LBA-LHR. Virgin A350-1000 LHR-JFK, Delta A220 JFK-DFW. Return Delta...

    My Fiancé lives in Buenos Aires. Far from perfect but we try to meet up every 3 months either in Argentina or Europe. In the past 12-18months we have used BA, Delta, United, Turkish and Norwegian. I’m sad to say BA are at the bottom of that list. Very poor cabins on their 772’s on the LHR-EZE...

    Was Summer 85 the first season after the runway was extended? Thursday afternoons.....did we have 4 Britannia’s in? 1 767-200 from Palma and 3 737-200’s. I’m sure one of the 737’s only operated every 3 weeks to Salzburg cos Thomson’s only offered 10 or 11 night holidays there?

    We flew with a Spanish airline called Universair(I think) from LBA to TFS. We had to tech stop in Santiago in north west Spain to pick up more fuel. Flight was nearly 7 hours long with the strong headwinds. The first holiday I didn’t go with my parents they went off to Bulgaria. I think I’m...

    I’m currently in Argentina and flew down with Norwegian on Thursday night. I paid the low fare plus option and got a meal, 20kg bag and seat choice included. The meal....well....I went for the beef and can honestly say it was the best bit of cow I’ve ever had on a flight. Dessert was 2...

    Jerry, KLM came back at £920 with seats and 1 checked bag. Offing, I think the BA LGW 777-200’s are ok. I’m sure they were refurbished a couple of years back. BA seem to use the same 5 777’s on their EZE/BKK/BLR flights. G-YMMB/E/F/T/U. No First Class on these aircraft and dated cabins. The...

    Just booked my next trip to Buenos Aires in June but sadly not from LBA this time. BA wanted £1300 LBA-LHR-EZE-LHR-LBA. Norwegian was £727 direct from LGW. Train Leeds-Stevenage-Gatwick £74 return. Looking forward to Norwegian’s 787-9’s compared to BA’s VERY tired cabins in the 777-200’s they...

    Anyone know how many were on this first flight? I would have thought bookings must be pretty healthy as it’s the only flight that wasn’t cut by TCH for this summer.

    Quite the opposite for me on this trip Fingers 66. I paid just over £600 for LHR-EZE-LHR. It was going to be £840 for LBA-LHR-EZE-LHR-LBA. So I just added the LHR-LBA flights after for £55. Only negative was when I was checking in in Buenos Aires on Wednesday they wouldn’t tag my bag to LBA...

    Using Leeds Bradford Airport Questions & Reviews

    I flew in on the late Ryanair Dublin last night. Buses collected us from the aircraft to the arrivals. I didn’t realise that the Dublin arrivals had now changed. So instead of being dropped off at the end of the terminal....up the 4 sets of steps....show your photo ID to Police special...

    How about Turkish Airlines? Massive new airport opening in Istanbul soon. Paris with Air France/Hop would be fantastic though.

    Route Development & Rumours

    Might be totally Un LBA related but I have 4 gents who have just checked in at my work who work for Gulf Air. They have meetings here tomorrow. I know Gulf are by far the smallest of the middle eastern airlines but they seem to be growing in the past year. They have 3 787-9’s in their fleet now...
