Not confused at all.
Shame you missed the only really good "longish haul" service....there are no real long haul ex BHX.
I use UAE regularly and a great service with good connenctions if you're going east.
I wonder how many on these forums would use the other operators on your list daza
- I sure wouldn't. Having gone across the pond twice on a 757, I decided that was once too often - it is if you like comfort!
Best long haul from BHX is via DXB, AMS and CDG.
VP-BKZ is about the only plane that achieves long haul regularly! Like Beijing non stop.
