Mikeyuk,

Post 2941 (by zfw) on this thread (about 10 posts back) indicates that Man Utd flew via London Heathrow en route to South Africa, so it is not unreasonable for Spacedog to comment that they transited Terminal 5 without elaborating further. No need to have a go, I would suggest.

Cheers, SHED.

Whats all this aboout QR changing to a B777? I know the morning flights state 'equipment varies', but that variation is between the A330-200 and the A330-300?

Can Anyone confirm if either EY or QR are changing to a B777?

Pace airlines

Indeed, it took the USA PGA tour golfers back home on Sunday night, a joint Flight Support - Ocean Sky production I believe.

New facial recognition machines
 

Arrived in T1 on LH yesterday and saw a bank of new gadgets on the right hand side at immigration. Asked what they were and was told they were facial recognition machines.

Now, apologies if this has been posted about before but what are these all about, and how does one sign up to use them ?. I asked when they were coming into operation and was told 'who knows, the union hasn't agreed to use them yet'.....:rolleyes:

I think that's a bit personal, a machine which can tell if you regularly have beauty treatments, or are a porn star.

T1's New Machines
 

You will able to use them if you have the new style (chip) passports.

I love facials, of all kinds.

Thats a bit risque Vuelo......:E

A question for MAN people...

I arrive into T3 (flybe) and depart from T3 (flybe) a couple of hours later.

The flights are on the same record locator (it's one through ticket to the final desination). I have just got hand luggage.

Can I transfer airside or do I have to go to return to landside and then go back to airside through security ?

Cheers

You can transfer airside, if you dont have a boarding card for your onward flight (they should issue you with one) you can collect one airside.

Great, thanks for the info. :ok:

(I did have a look on the MAN airport website, but couldn't find any info)

:)

Can anyone please confirm if Air Berlin are cancelling their flights from Paderborn and Hamburg to Manchester after October 2008?

Someone from my work (Airbus) informed me that they are and you still can't seem to book a flight after this month?

Hamburg 2K8

If you look on the AB website you will be able to book
Paderborn but not yet Hamburg.

MM

Anyone know of a possible reason for not being able to book Hamburg flights yet?

I have not heared any rumors on any forums regarding the cancellation of their flight to Manchester, I really hope it doesn't happen.

Regards,

Mat.

They are always very late releasing the flights

Air Asia X
 

Interesting reports today in Malaysian press which quote Air AsiaX CEO as declining to comment on the fact that Air Asia X will NOT start any services to the UK, either London or Manchester, this year. Still only operating with one A330 and its seems that the immediate concern is to increase flights to destinations where Malaysian tourists wish to go -- plans for flights to Japan have almost been shelved as the visa requirements for Malaysians to fly there are onerous. Talk of looking at other Asian destinations more welcoming to Malaysian tourists.

FR
