21/05/12 | Forum post in reply to VintageKrug

LuganoPirate, enjoy the festivities, but let me say it before VK does; it can't be called Champagne if it's British!! :-) Other than that, I wish I could enjoy the festivities the way you will be! Sounds fabulous! I'll be stuck watching it all...

MIAT Mongolian...
18/05/12 | Forum post in reply to AnthonyDunn

I have flown MIAT once, from Berlin, on a rather old Airbus A310. What I can remember is that it was OK, the flight stopped in SVO en route, and as with most 'eastern' airlines, the catering was extensive but not necessarily fabulous. Seat was...

Forum Etiquette 2012
17/05/12 | Forum post in reply to MartynSinclair

While I agree with so many of you regarding rudeness and name calling as never being appropriate, I can also admit that certain posters, one in particular, are able to get people's blood boiling with numerous obnoxious and arrogant posts. Should...

Can you beat the Queen? How many countries have you visited.
03/05/12 | Forum post in reply to Tête_de_cuvée

How many BA aircraft now sport "New" First...
18/04/12 | Forum post in reply to VintageKrug

When I have had the pleasure of flying F with my other half, I always try to block 1A and 1K. Only issue is the closet, but this tends to only be an issue prior to takeoff as most F Pax do not want to disturb you by going to the closet in...

Virgin and the appeal Vs IAG
16/04/12 | Forum post in reply to sparkyflyer

I agree with you sparkyflyer. I do believe it is just Branson being Branson. He is the king of publicity seeking, and I feel nothing will come of this latest rant, except making some lawyers even richer.

Predictability
12/04/12 | Forum post in reply to LPPSKrisflyer

I have to agree with all of you, I much prefer consistency and predictability. I also have to say that while I travel quite a bit, it is nothing like what you all seem to do, and I must admit, I am very jealous! I tend to travel with BA mostly,...
