I seem to remember in the '90's flights to Orlando were numerous from BHX: double figures? What caused a reduction? Reducing loads, rationalisation or both?

Nice one Ray. Aceshigh rather shot him/herself in the foot.

I came back from Paris last week with Flybe and found that the the e-gates were barred to "British passports" according to staff at the gates. I was shocked. I had to go back to the usual lengthy security line. Whether the staff member actually meant all EU passports except french, I don't know...

I'm sitting on a Flybe flight at Paris wondering when we will be allowed to take off. Should have been airborne at 14.50 local time.

I knew that BHX would suffer because of the Stansted incident.

I thought the following would be of interest given Primera's predicament at the moment, taken from today's Sunday Times travel section: "I was surprised to read a glowing review of Primera Air last week (NYC for £279). Ten days before our flight to New York, Primera cancelled its flights out of...

No need to apologise, it seemed like a slight on British farmers!!

Far from it, but I see what you mean. Not a cheap six-day holiday but well worth it. Romanian tourism is on the rise and Transylvania, the richest part of Romania, is well worth a visit: stunning scenery, a number of UNESCO heritage sites, Dracula of course at Bran Castle. Bucharest airport is...

I returned from a tour of Transylvania and Bucharest yesterday flying with Blue Air. Outward and inward flights were full and I and my partner were part of a group of 27 on the flight. I did not get to know everyone in the tour group ( another 22 arriving from LHR made up the entire group)...

There doesn't appear to be any precipitation in south Birmingham now.

Weather radar shows more to come this evening.

My Australian niece was not overly impressed with BHX last week. She arrived from Dubai on a fully laden A380 to a 50 minute wait for luggage and 2 officials on UK border control. Must do better.

When Primera receive their late aircraft, which they will not be using at BHX, what will they do with it?

No mention of lack of aircraft.

Is it significant that you can't book Stansted or Paris beyond December?

Is the latest situation still down to lack of aircraft or poor sales?

This is what Primera Air were tweeting seven days ago--"Did you know that every 1.4 seconds an @Airbus takes off or lands? We’re thrilled that very soon our brand new Airbus A321LR and A321neo fleet will take you on a transatlantic journey". Will it and where from?

I'm not convinced............................yet!

That's appalling! So did they say your flight is operating?

Sorry, no. I'm just an interested BHX follower.
