I am currently in Bangkok for a couple of meetings. During one of these, a Belgian official I met told me that TG is doing so well on the BRU route that they are planning to increase their flights to 5 weekly as from Winter 2012 (October). Anyone more info on this ? Sawadee khrap !

Was surfing my facebook during lunch and saw a post by Brussels Airport "Congrats to our marketing team for winning the European Airport Marketing Award!" It seems that yesterday, during a ceremony at Talinn Airport, Routes Online unveiled the winners (divided over 3 regions in Europe) of ...

Just read this on bbc news : no track yet of this plane which went missing during a demonstration flight near Jakarta... 44 people on board..

If you want to enjoy their lavish business class, count 13500 Baht (330 EUR) for a return ticket... The flight took about 1.30 hrs.. Cheerz/Sawadee Khrap ! I paid 12,000 baht in 1991 for a return ticket BKK-SGN or HAN ( same fare ) I know that the Airasia fare is now much lower ( about 3,000 baht )...

Thanks for the report ! I am a little bit surprised about the Bangkok Airways one-way fare. I flew BKK-REP-BKK in november 2010, and paid something around 260 EUR (both ways)... They DO offer an impeccable service, couldn't agree more ! Besides that (and totally off topic) : I am currently in Hanoi ...

Impressive report indeed. Thanks a lot for sharing !

From my understanding, it means 7 weekly flights from India to Brussels and 7 weekly flights from Brussels to India. They are probably flights from/to Bangalore that will connect in Brussels with flights continuing to North America. Ok so no additional US/Canada destination in the pipeline then (fo...

Pardon my ignorance, but what does an "additional 7 direct flights from/to india" refer to ? 7 additional weekly flights? Limited "to/from India" or within the scissor hub concept (i.e., connections to USA/Canada) ?

Hmm, well spotted - hadn't noticed this myself ... ! Definitely too many beers AND coctails though to comply with this guy's request ...

Well exactly - there you go ! The "incident" in Brussels I refer to was bad (hot kerosine smelling air blown from that Iberia DC-9 although I was probably still approx. 50 meters (if not more) behind it. On this video, they are closer (at least, they were, in the beginning ;-) ). I've neve...

We all know the spectacular scenes of airplanes landing a few meters over the beach at Sint-Maarten's Princess Juliana airport. It definitely is NOT a good idea to try to approach aircraft there that are about to take off ... How silly can you be ? :shock: (Brings back rather unpleasant memories fro...

Incredible that this corrupt clown was appointed chairman to start with !

Not exactly the scene you want to witness during your flight ... passengers rushing in to calm down and eventually neutralize the pilot

They also operate a lot of excess routes and frequencies, they better start looking where they're not making any money. I think one can not ignore the fact that besides basic economics, there's also quite some politics involved - showing the world that emerging Turkey is booming and is becoming an ...

THY's first Mogadishu flight is in The Guardian Newspaper this week: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/06/turkish-airlines-flights-somalia-mogadishu ;) I flew TK from BRU to IST last Wednesday (back yesterday, Friday). Their inflight magazine also mentions this new destination. There is a, b...

Nice ! A question : given the rather strict security that applies in and around Israeli airports, is it easy for you to make these kind of images (it looks as if you're really close to TLV airport premises) ? Do you need a spotting permit or you have to register or .. ?
