    I’ve just noticed that Eastern’s E190’s are now showing on the Sunday morning flights for KLM in November.

    easyJet

    I’ve used BVA 3 times and would now choose it over CDG. Express coaches leave every 10-15 mins direct into central Paris. I’ve not used CDG since my crew days and I believe there is still no direct metro/train service into the centre.

    I flew GRO-LBA this morning with Jet2 on G-GDFT. 139+5 on board…I heard the dispatcher tell the flight supervisor. Bang on time departure from GRO and 30mins early into LBA. Parked on stand 8 I think and the air bridge was attached. Luckily we got to immigration before the Sun Express and FR OPO...

    I flew this morning with Jet2 to GRO. Arrived at LBA at 0245. Check in opened at 03:00….no queues. We had fast track….absolutely not needed at 03:10 as walked straight to the scanners. Lounge opened at 04:00. We were in the Yorkshire Lounge, busy but not full for the 2 hours we were in there...

    Aviation Nostalgia Thread

    Orion were the in house airline for Horizon Holidays. They had a shop on Briggate in Leeds right next door to Woolworths. They used to have a large model of a 737 of Orion in the window. Does anyone else of a certain age remember that?

    I flew LBA-PMI on flight KG141 sometime early/mid 80’s. I remember it well because the flight was on G-BHVI which was Boeing’s 737th 737. I had a poster of the aircraft on my bedroom wall as a kid.

    I flew GRO-LBA this morning with Jet2. 143 on board. 2.20hrs flight time. I was very impressed with the Jet2 ground staff at Gerona. They were walking around the gate area before we were called advising people how the boarding procedures were going to work. Very professional. I have a...

    Flying to GRO this evening with FR. Very last minute decision. £15 out £35 back with Jet2 on Sunday and hotel £55 for 2 nights. Security is all boarded up now down the left hand side, it wasn’t like that last week when I flew out to KRK. I had a good look around the security area today waiting...

    I flew with Ryanair last night LBA-KRK. First time on a Max…loved it. Security was quiet at 19:15 so no queue at all. Used the new scanners this time. All items left in my bag. We had to remove coats and belts and empty our pockets. No more metal detector frames to walk through just the ones...

    I took 2 Aer Lingus Regional flights on Tuesday. CWL-BHD & BHD-LBA. Aer Lingus operates 1 daily flight on the Belfast to Cardiff route. I’d say about 35 on my flight. I really like Belfast City Airport. Small but it’s planned out well. Nice permanent single story walkways lead out from both...

    I returned from OPO yesterday into LBA. Flight time of 2hrs 10min. I’d say about 100 on board. I felt like I was in Ryanair business class (row of 3 to myself). We were the only flight to land around 11.30ish so straight through border control which had 5 manned desks. As with my outbound...

    Exactly. If FR can get 177 on a OPO in mid February then surely a LIS 2/3 a week would easily work too

    As per my earlier posts I travelled to Porto this afternoon with FR. Original aircraft was tech so we luckily swapped onto another aircraft which had just landed from Dublin. 177 on board. I was surprised by how many Portuguese were on this flight. I’d easily say 75% were Portuguese. Flight time...

    Airport Security, Immigration & Border Control

    Sat in departures ready for my flight to OPO. Queue for security was nearly to Greggs when I joined. Screens were saying 35mins wait but I was through in 22mins. 2 new scanners were in use but I was directed to an older scanner on the far left hand side so I still had to take liquids out. I...
