I have heard many a crew member bemone the end of smoking onboard as they often thought that passified many who had not flown before but now i believe that drink is not the issue rather the pills they pop b4 flying and then the effects of that and the drink. The CAA/ABTA could do well in some advertisements similar to the xmas dont drink and drive campaigns but geared towards airtravel.

Not sure what happened in this case, but in my experience 99% of problems stem from illicit drinking of duty/tax frees.

Most passengers flying to Europe can’t buy duty free as it is not sold to passengers flying to EU countries although they can buy taxed booze.. The issue can be the airports proving pub environments both landslide and airside.

no matter how many pubs there are, an individual is responsible for their intake of any kind of drug. It is the passenger's responsibility to present themselves in a fit state to fly.

Is Turkey subject to that being outside of the EU?

Virgin Atlantic - Summer 2019

Just looking at Virgin Atlantic Summer 2019 flights on their website and it seems that the flights are moving from a Monday departure to a Sunday departure starting 31st March 2019.

Also the extra Friday Service in June/July also moves from Friday to a Saturday.

So departures will be Saturdays and Sundays & arrivals will be Sundays and Mondays in the Summer High Season.

Lots of BFS bashing on AIRLINERS.net and a guy saying that all roads lead to Dublin! Not up here!

And this constant reference to this journey of 2 hours to Dublin Airport. Irish posters can’t seem to grasp that there is a World north of Belfast. The Belfst Metropolitan area only accounts for a 1/3 of the NI population!

Coleraine, Ballymoney, Derry, Limavady, Ballycastle and their very own Donegal are all 140+ miles from Dublin Airport. Meaning a drive through the small hours of the night to get down there for a 9am flight.

You never see them mentioning us do you? It’s all about this so called 2 hour drive? 2 hours in what world? Not for us!!!

I wonder does this mean the incoming Sunday will operate the outbound as well? Would seem sensible...

A two hour drive at the start of a holiday is nothing - it's the return home that would get me. You just want to get home!

Well whether they fill her up or top her up, looks like Virgin are happy to go full season for another year. Interesting that the aircraft is being provided during the peak weekend, surely a vote of confidence which will only increase it's popularity.
Hopefully we will get a twice weekly minimum to Toronto and full service dailies to both NYC and the Middle East soon.

Oh Canada

Here is why I think Canada now fails to appear
30 / 40 years ago people left here to go and set up new lives in a new country
Family and friends went to visit. Now the ones who left are now in their late 70's to 80's or dead
The next wave of immigration was to Spain in the 90's hence the popularity of flights now.
Last week the Maple leaf club was knocked down .
That says it all

A 737 max is not in any way equivalent to a 747-400.
