Correct me if I'm mistaken but I seem to remember Jet2 planned a series of one-off flights to Reykjavik and a few other destinations but they never did operate?

Ash666, Love Don Muang, I suppose they put 2+2 together and realise that Thai locos aren't really a hot target for Al Qaeda

Flying.Penguin, they operated 1 flight each to Reykjavik, Marrakech and St Petersburg

I never had a problem with Don Muang and quite like Suvarnabhumi, especially now that they have changed to a single queue at inbound immigration.

Off to Khon Kaen tomorrow where a plane wheel came off the runway on Monday and closed the airport for 2 days.
Anyone remember the Dan Air episode at NCL lots of years ago when the same pilot came off the runway 2 days running?

Certainly do, my late parents were on board one of the flights. Nothing frightening for them, indeed from what I recall they did not realise the aircraft had left the tarmac until the cabin announcement, just frustration at the delay in disembarkation & many amusing comments added wrt the pilots competence on the telling of tale to their friends.

I'm sure AMS/GVA operate alongside each other in April, as I'm going both Geneva and hopefully Amsterdam, with easyjet in April within a few days of each other and they both operate on the same days

Ash666 -

I really enjoyed flying from Don Mueang last year. Although, at immigration, I got the allowance to go through "Thai Citizens" because I had a working visa as a teacher in a Thai high school. So immigration was very quick for me.

Even Suvarnabhumi is a great airport, credit given to Bangkok for having two really great airports. I didn't have an ounce of difficulty with them.

___________________________________________________________

As for the new service with United - I'm delighted for NCL and for me personally, fitting into the categorised "spotters" - the type of aircraft doesn't phase me at all.

It's more of a celebratory thing that we now have the route that people long desired to have.

I just hope that people use it enough for the airline to perhaps feel there be enough to have the service run fully/year-round.

GVA/AMS Easyjet

EK77WNCL. The Winter GVA ends on 19 April and restarts for the summer in 1 June. AMS runs to the end of May. So your correct up to 19 April.

All the Thai airports are pretty user friendly and don't even try the NCL cheap trick of forcing every passenger to walk through a retail outlet to get to the gates.

I've just been through Naples and Las Palmas airports where the same retail ploy exists. This is the new marketing experience for pax and not limited to NCL.

Off topic, but one of my biggest disappointments was at Gatwick where the only place that looked out on the Nth Terminal apron has been closed off by a new building, so you now have to sit looking at a blank wall. Such is progress.

If you want low cost air fares then the airport has to cut charges as well so they have to earn money some how!!!
