Hi folks, just back from a 5 day trip to sunny LA, apologies again for my demeaning tone in earlier posts. Read through them all and realised what a nasty barsteward I sounded. I'm not really like that in real life but these are anonymous forums so can vent anger un-noticed.
Can't see Russia being a starter for FR, pax have to apply months ahead for travel visas so the hop on the plane for a weekend trip will be out the window.
