It will be one of the A330's destined for the RAF to replace the Tristars and VC-10's. The one currently based at Boscombe Down is specifically for testing of mid air refueling. In RAF service they will be called Voyagers. Initial modification is being completed at Airbus in Spain. #3 onwards...

My personal bugbear is Delta if it involves a connection at JFK. The 767's they operate are great but the facilities at JFK T2 and T3 are poor and JFK is prone to delays and cancellations. They are consistently undercutting BA, Virgin and the like; if you connect through Atlanta you will fair...

Next flight for me is to Cologne with Germanwings. First time to Cologne and first time on Germanwings.

I'm sure a few A.netters would still turn their noses up if it meant flying on a ten abreast 777!!

How many have you flown on?

That would be a first for me from LCY as well. Thank you for the information.

I have never flown on a BAe 146 (RJ85 etc.) Can anybody recommend any airlines/routes from or within the UK that still use them?

IIRC, it was something to do with declassifying the M32 and turning the hard shoulder into a bus lane. Maybe, it appeared in the media but not discussed within the council.

Are they still discussing a congestion charge?

The Pod is a great idea to link Temple Meads with the business zone. As you say, it would be no good for onward travel to Cabot Circus or the city centre, for example. If Bristol cannot get a full blown tram system funded, how about trolley buses? (correct name?) At least once in the city...

Agreed.

I was tempted with a trip to Madrid on the Iberia A346 this Autumn; but with so many strikes and demonstrations in the city, I have been put off.

Through Greenford on a HST!! When can I book my ticket?

Don't get me wrong, I agree completely with your comment about variety and for quite a few years my preference was Star over OneWorld. I flew BA to Tokyo once and was very disappointed. (IFE not working, unable to move seats plus meal choice not available) I didn't vow never to fly with them...

I just found them rather stern and without personality. Obviously, the luck of the draw on the day. My reason to fly Lufthansa was solely to fly on an A310 before they were withdrawn from service. As for forming an opinion based on one experience; as they say, you only get one chance to make a...
