My around the world in Airbus A330s continues. Edmonton - Amsterdam - KLM A332. Another smooth flight on a busy flight. The seats are pretty good, food not bad. Early landing at Schiphol, but immigration a mess. Amsterdam - Istanbul- TK 332. Smooth flight on a busy flight. IFE not bad, and...

18th August Amsterdam - Edmonton with KLM. Lovely flight on the A333, continuing my crossing continents on A333s theme. Very smooth flight and comfortable seats. Good food and reasonable IFE. Edmonton is a great entry port with only the KLM as an international arrival at the time and so no...

More knowledgeable people will say more accurately, but I believe the speed limit through some (former or current) unloading/loading machinery for bulk loads is measured in 0.5mph increments, often below 5mph.

Another Embraer 145 today from Tamale to Accra with Africa World Airlines. The airport at Tamale is small but brand new. Pretty functional and air conditioned when the electricity is on (about 60% of the time I was there). Smooth flight on the 2008 built aircraft with only a few lumps and...

Heroic effort! Which terminal? Flight today with Africa World Airlines from Accra to Tamale (northern Ghana). Embraer ERJ 145 for a 45 minute flight to the north. Domestic flights depart from the old terminal at Accra, which is far from looking its best, but is being busily refurbished. This...

It's the only London airport I have flown into on a turbo prop. All other London airports were jets.

Loganair flew Cardiff - Edinburgh at some point in the not too distant past. I don't think it lasted long. As the poster underneath you says, easyJet's services from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness and Newcastle probably mop up most of it. Bristol airport is inconvenient, but so is Cardiff...

I would imagine the majority of passengers on the Exeter route were Exeter-originating and probably connecting over Manchester onwards and the new Amsterdam flight from KLM probably steals most of that; many more official and unofficial connections available there than at Manchester. Newquay I...

I don't think easyJet did the route, but Flybe absolutely did. As I understand it, the Manchester - Exeter route uses a Southampton frame and crew, so that will also disappear. I am not sure the litany of failed attempts would inspire easyJet would to have a go. easyJet I think serve Jersey...

4th August SN277 Brussels Zaventem (BRU) - Accra Kotoka international (ACC). Flight #402 for me. Flight month kicked off with an A330-300 taking us down to Accra from Brussels. While in Brussels airlines' colourscheme, this was one 'lent' from Lufthansa. The crew were very adamant in telling...

This is in fact not true. This is somewhat true - signs are rather confusing but they do exist. Just follow them. This is also not true. A link to authoritative sources has been provided above, which includes information on between which sets of gates transfer security is required, compared...

At the time of day you are travelling, security is usually pretty quiet. For what it's worth, Turkiye has a very similar set of rules as EC/261. I was IRROPs with TK last year and it was all dealt with smoothly, including hotel and transfer to hotel in the small hours of the morning.

Frankfurt is an expensive airport. If possible, and if complying with all rules on bringing food to the various countries you will visit, bring food from the UK.

Enjoy Hong Kong! It's a great city to be in. In order: Manchester: there was a period in which security was atrocious. Your Lufthansa flight will leave from T2 and Manchester which is mostly the new scanners (if not all the new scanners now) and security takes a few moments. There can be...

I had perhaps more meant that Belfast was very much not likely to be looking its best, and that road closures and heavy police presence does not usually inspire fancy-free tourist wanderings. I know a thing or to about going to active war zones so I didn't expect you to be in danger...
