24/05/12 | Forum post in reply to NewBAexec

I enjoyed my two week-long business trips to Dakar tremendously. I was in central parts of town including a leisurely trip to Gore Island. Nice people, great food, and nice sun :-)

BA to keep DKR(Dakar) from BMI route network?
24/05/12 | Forum post in reply to NewBAexec

Bucknet, it gets even more exciting at night when Delta brings one aircraft from ATL and one from JFK, swap passengers and one aircraft heads to CPT and the other to JNB. I am not sure if DL has Fifth Freedom Right on the DKR-JNB/CPT flights. ...

BA to keep DKR(Dakar) from BMI route network?
24/05/12 | Forum post in reply to NewBAexec

Air France runs a B777 from CDG to DKR while SN deploys an A330 from BRU. I suspect there is no reason why BA would not be able to fill one of the B767-300ER (CW edition) to DKR. For my two trips I used TAP via LIS from ARN on A320s. Not the...

LH 748i
20/05/12 | Forum post in reply to LPPSKrisflyer

Dear all, I've been a staunch LH fan for about a decade, but I am not sure if I agree that all of the latest moves are particularly "Customer centric". Whilst LH F looks excellent, the new C does not look like it is industry leading. The...

No more First on LH?
25/04/12 | Forum post in reply to Swissdiver

Hi, My comment: "In terms of F; LH is a leader, albeit sometimes slow" refers mostly to the slow progress of updating existing air-crafts with new F. In this case I am referring to the fairly vast fleet of A330-300/A340-300/600 that have yet...

24/04/12 | Forum post in reply to Swissdiver

LPPSKrisflyer, I normally agree with you, I was not impressed with the pictures of the new LH C-class; it seem to offer little privacy. However, I leave my final judgement until I have sampled it. In terms of F; LH is a leader, albeit...
