Hi, me again.
Well, I'm going with LON:PSA to avoid any possibility of problems with the Florence runway/weather. However, the purpose of the trip is a surprise birthday present for my wife but...

Meridiana

Hi Guys,
Thanks for that. I believe that they've retired all of their 146's now (for A319's?). Little bit nervous about the MD-82's after Madrid despite having flown mega-miles on SAS's over the...

I'm trying to organise a trip to Florence from UK & it would appear that the only airline flying direct from LGW is Meridiana, who I've never come across before. Can anyone tell me...

Sorry if this sounds a bit daft: My family & I are off to TPA on BA2167 this Friday in cattle class. What is the usual feeding frequency? The reason for asking is that my 21 yr old...

There was an excellent bit of footage on Thursday night's news (18th Jan) showing a BAe 146 taking off from BHX during the high winds. It almost seemed to turn 90 degs to port before rotating but it...
