1st Choice Flt No 4708 LGW – Zante 01/05/05
After 3yrs of paying to renew IR’s etc, This Flight Instructor is gonna go on a real airplane. Ok….I will be in the back going on holiday but it makes a pleasant change to a PA28. Does anyone know what a/c it is and if they offer to show people the pointy end whilst on stand ?

Hi,
This flight is currently planned on G-OOAP (A320) leaving at 6:00 from LGW to ZTH on 01/05/2005.
Sorry, no can do with reference to visiting the "pointy end" by this I take it that you mean flight deck. The CAA regs state that only authorised people can visit the FD at all.
If you need anymore info, just give us a shout.

Hi jay_hl
i did a search on the reg. nice lookin a/c. i guess seating is 3 & 3.
u must b staff being in the know n all.
i will stand out like a sore thumb at check in, being the only bloke carrying a CV. "just in case the flight runs low on toilet paper"
thanks again for your help.........im gettin the holiday mood !!
leaving the cv at home, kids & wife got a suitcase mountain !!!
If you ask the Flight Supervisor nicely when you board the ac, there should be a reasonable chance of looking at the flight deck once the ac is shut down on the apron at ZTH.
Don't ask to look at LGW as it is a bit busy at that stage, but most guys would have no probs with a look at the far end.
Enjoy your flight and your hols.
