Flew down on the 1425 to Heathrow last Friday 07/07/17, quite a full plane - I heard the cabin assistant say 123 + 2 on board, back on Sunday's 1730 "evening" flight again pretty much full. On time both ways, spotless cabin, and at £92 return with a 23 kilo cabin bag allowance, the flight was...

Heathrow Terminal 5 uses small driverless pneumatic tyred trains to ferry passengers between the main terminal and the B and C satellites in a tunnel, and a similar train is used to move passengers around the terminals above ground at Dallas Fort Worth - the gradient would be no problem for...

Quite so Snowman. On recent flights, I had been "protected" from the typical arrivals experience by being on the BA Shuttle, which as far as I know always uses an airbridge, thus disembarking passengers at 1st floor level. The Airport must make provision of escalators and lifts a top priority...

short break to Malta - flew out Sunday 04/12/2016 on brand new EI-FTE returning on 07/12/2016 on older EI-EST, on way out I'd estimate about 120 passengers, returning home much fuller. I have to say the comfort of the slimline seating and subtle lighting system (not to mention a much less garish...

Not sure at all Aviador! - so many years ago, but I'm sure someone can give a definitive response

Another one which I may have posted before - I wonder if those kids are now Airline Captains, or members of this forum!! I think it was 1985 or 1986 - Happy days!

Think the Caledonian may have been doing one of the Spanish Islands, The Air UK also did EDI after the F27's and prior to Gill Air taking over the route.

3 random photos I just rediscovered - will be from the late 1980's I think

For what it's worth, I understand only the Bradford FS-Leeds shuttle service will call at the new stations,providing a 30 minute service frequency. Trains from Skipton and Beyond (and in the case of Kirkstall Forge, trains from Ilkley) will not stop at the new stations in either direction.

I was on a packed BA1344 up to Leeds last Sunday evening. Purser confirmed just about a full house. - Great flight by BA, OK, so it was an hour late departing following a delay to the inbound aircraft operating the flight, but we had a spirited dash up to Leeds - I'm becoming increasingly...

I must have been up there at the same time as you guys too - see photos in the nostalgia gallery! Is the footpath still a quagmire until summer?

Just done a quick check for day return flights to LHR this Sunday 08/02 and whilst there is availability on Morning Southbound and evening Northbound, BA is showing the 0740 Northbound and both the late afternoon and evening Southbound as fully booked on all ticket types - This is good news, but...

432 Just for you ex crew

Second-Hand Portakabins from Manston? What a World-Class Airport.................

I was on Saturday 25/10 09:35 to LHR and the flight was full load as near as makes no difference. Sunday afternoon return was less packed to the rafters but I heard arrival personnel at LBA mention a load of 91. very good flights both directions

Yes, they have emailed me to confirm moving me from afternoon to morning on 12/11/14 on first leg of a transatlantic trip from LHR the following day - no mention of any alteration to return trip back up to LBA on03/12/14 so this would back up imagineif's post

I’m just daydreaming here, and not for one moment do I ever expect this to happen, but it struck me that with considerable vision and plenty of money, the former AVRO Building (now LBA Industrial Estate I think) could be made into the most amazing terminal. The "valley" between the AVRO and...

I've just Booked for 13 Nov - LBA to Orange County, CA (SNA) using BA to London, then on with BA to Dallas (DFW) with American Airlines codeshare connection to SNA, return via same routing 02 Dec. I've taken the precaution of flying to LHR on the afternoon flight day before the transatlantic...

Very interesting post GolfFox and welcome to the forum. In the years soon after completion of the Runway 32 extension it was delight to see (and hear) the wonderful JAT 707's and their smaller 727 sisters (In my opinion the two best looking subsonic airliners ever built), along with 747's...
