It seems IAG and British Airways aren't happy with the state of the planned APD increase at all. To the point where they are now accusing the government of costing new jobs. According to British Airways: The planned 800 people that they were planning to recruit has been knocked down to 400 The planned re-introduction of a stored 747-400 has been put on hold for the … [Read more...]
DEN: The trip in a few lines….
Well I'm home from the run. And I'm still tired out from it. So I'm going to quickly review the run in one-line sentences. Aer Lingus - Did the job fine... as usual. United (Continental) DUB-EWR - Pre-clearance is great. A fully loaded 757 is not great for the elbows United (Continental) EWR-LAX - An empty middle seat is an amazing thing. And good company too. United … [Read more...]
BMI offering 50% bonus on miles, but check the small print…
BMI seems to be raising some more cash with a Destination Mile sale. Basicly, the bonus is buy miles, get 50% bonus. There's a few gotchas though: You can only "buy" 16k of miles (£207) This comes out of your purchasing year, so if you've purchased your 24k of miles you won't be able to take advantage of it Offer only valid between 5 to 11 Dec 2011 (1 week) Now … [Read more...]
DEN: A Belfast Morning
Good morning from Belfast international airport/shed. I'm awake...ish, and almost ready for the day. I think a diversion to a coffee shop and wifi may be the best idea... And I can start putting together some of the happenings from this trip. More later on. … [Read more...]
DEN: 1 leg down 2 to go, then 1 for fun…
Greetings from the United Club at San Francisco. And where it was cold and freezing in Denver it is of course - hot as heck here. Still we had good time to SFO which always helps. Still, my reason for the stopover has worked out well, and I'm slowly getting ready for the nasty part of the trip. 5 hours in a 737-800 - down the back too. Oh well. Miles never come … [Read more...]
Airplane Art – United Airlines Boeing 757-200
It's Sunday again, and even though I'm in the skies heading home from Denver, it's still time for some Airplane Art. This week, it's a United Airlines Boeing 757-200 (Ex Continental bird) parked up at Dublin Airport and awaiting passengers for the long slog to Newark International. More of course next week! … [Read more...]
DEN: The wrong way to Belfast….
Well it's time to up sticks, and start making tracks again. In the wrong direction of course. A ride in a 757, then the trans-con in a 737-800 to Newark, and another 757 to Belfast. Of course this means going the wrong way, and heading to San Francisco instead. Greetings from the United Club (East... it's an RCC to the rest of us) at DIA. Next post update will … [Read more...]

DEN: What the hell I am doing in LA?
(....to quote the old Bran Van 3000 song) Well it's waiting for the next flight... certainly not drinking as the inbound leg was late. I think the only reason why I changed terminal LAX just wanted my non-nude-o-scope visit from the TSA. Shame they never bring you flowers or chocolates. I thought that what you were meant to do when someone tried to get to second base … [Read more...]
DEN: I forgot how tight a 757 was on a TATL…
I think I can christen that flight as an ok flight, but I forgot how tight a full 757 feels. Greetings from Newark... Where my next flight is showing a delay.... Joy … [Read more...]
