A319 or A320 in 5 months time!
Does anyone care?
Truly an unusual if trivial question. Why on earth would you wish to know this fact, oliww? I am interested in your answer though, which may be much more fascinating than your original question. (I go to work and often don't check whether its a 320/321, or even occasionally a 330 until I arrive at the Crew Room, believe it or not. Before you ask, positioners around the UK can be any one of these types)

Because they are a quality airline and one of the best around, compared to the s*** you normally travel on, with the golden harp on the tail
You pay for what you get

Mousers' Daughters' Duty Day..
Whilst it was a long day, she will be legally entitled to at least the time she spent on duty as rest before her 11 hour day
Provided she is not being asked to reduce rest, cannot understand what the point is?
There are many former XL/GSM cabin crew who would be grateful of that or any duty day ......

Does anybody have an idea how this new Singapore Munich connection is going affect LH and Easyjet? Have LH allowed their Star partner to dump seats on the route to fight off of Easyjet? How will this affect the LH schedules?

Dear Mr Wellington Bomber,
I think most people would appreciate an educated answer so please, leave it to people who's opinion is actually worth some value and not based on a 'we hate ryanair' fad, something 60m+ people every year disagree on...
I don't think Lufthansa 'allow' Singapore on the route, they don't exactly make the rules. However, SQ haven't yet put seats on sale for the MAN-MUC through their website so maybe they have agreed with LH not to do so. LH have also passed over some capacity on the MUC-SIN leg by reducing their own frequency to twice weekly to complement the five times weekly SQ service.

Not that sure that LH is chopping it's own MUC-SIN service as one travel website indicates that "In addition to the new SIA service they will still enjoy their existing five times weekly Lufthansa service".

Just had a look at Viking's newest airline - Viking Hellas and their website states that they will begin scheduled flights from Athens to Manchester from February. Taking a random week in August shows daily flights with the exception of Saturday. Their fleet will consist of an MD83 and 2 A320's so expect one of these to operate the services!

Viking Hellas
Looking at the timetable for Feb to April it looks as though the A/C is MAN based.
Leaves 1 3 5 then after arrival in ATH goes to Erbil or Baghdad or Sulaimanyiah depending on day before returning to MAN 2 4 6

Dont come the high and mightie attitude with me my old nutmeg
60M people may be, but they are still crap.
Talk to all the crew that have been laid off with all various airlines, whilst cadets are flying brand new 737's with Harps on, just because they have paid a huge wedge of money. I am sure when the media get their act in order 60M will soon start to dwindle. Plus can you imagine if the UK govt say no more hand luggage due to idiots with bombs in their pants, and O Leary charges them for putting bags in the hold
I can just imagine the negative publicity

A little light relief
I understand the New Year got off to a good start at MAN with a runway closure just after midnight due to debris of Chinese Lanterns all over the airfield. 
Another first for Manchester?
I can see that the CAA will be issuing registrations and CofAs for these next and banning their flights in controlled airspace....
Happy New Year

I do feel uncomfortable praising them, but you CANNOT call them crap Welly - it just doesn't work. Whilst most airlines are being flushed down the
s
tpan, Ryan is doing unbelievably well. Yes, pilots pay massive amounts for the training, pay for their uniform, pay to breathe, get no pension, no benefits whatsoever other than a wage - but they've got a relatively well-paid job in an airline that ain't gonna go down the toilet any time soon.
I don't like praising MOL, but you can't go calling his airline crap, Wellybelly. It just doesn't make sense.
Suzeman - doesn't surprise me at all. It's been absolute CHAOS operating out of MAN these last few months.

Chinese Lanterns
I'm very pleased that MAN's post-midnight closure doesn't surprise you at all. It would surprise me if MAN did NOT close to remove dozens of these burning incendiary devices from its operational areas. It is the only safe and responsible course of action, they are extremely hazardous to the safe operation of aircraft. Perhaps you would prefer to land amongst the flames?

The chinese lanterns resulted in a number of prudent runway inspections - not RWY Closures as such.
A few of these were indeed found on the runway and the grass areas/links adjacent as well as various other spots around the airfield.
They were about three foot tall, made of light paper around a wire frame.
I guess enough to cause a problem in the wrong place at the wrong time.
