Hi Stij,
I flew Egyptair last September to ADD. All 4 flights were performed with a B737.
Personally I think it is an OK airline for a 4-5 hours flight. Legroom is sufficient in economy, food is OK without being superb by any means. The Y cabin however feels a bit cramped in case of a full house ...

Re: How to find upgradable tickets to US?
Thanks for the advise so far!
They want to fly to LAX/SFO. SN might be an option, with a short stop in the Big Apple, but I assume LH/LX will be more logical options.
I guess a phone call might be the best thing I can do :)

How to find upgradable tickets to US?
Dear all,
My father in law made many intercontinental trips lately and wants to surprise his wife with flight tickets in business class to the US.
Therefore he asked me to help him find "tickets in economy class that allow them to upgrade to business based on the miles he has saved so far".
How ...

Re: How to upgrade to business/first ?

My girlfriend got the same on the afternoon flight between BRU and LHR two weeks ago. On friday I will take that flight too, so I am curious to see what I will get.

Re: 11 people injured in Airbus A300-600 accident in Iran
In one week from now I'll be on a domestic Mahan Air-flight. I'm aware of the reputation of aviation in Iran. It might be better not to talk about this incident with my parents before I leave.

Re: Iran Air flights to refuel in Belgrade and/or Budapest
Upcomming september I will fly to Tehran. Some weeks ago I got an email that on our way back (with a BMI A321) an extra stop is added (in Yerevan, Armenia). I guess it looks like the 'fuel war' will continue for some time.
Btw, even with Ethiopian Airlines passengers remain on board while ...

Pity you don't have a picture of the Corsair 747. My cousin was on that plane after his first RTW (living in SXM he actually sailed all the way from SXM to Mackay, Australia and visited me in Belgium afterwards (his first snow in 8 years)).

Re: Vilankulos-Inhambane-Joburg, flying in beautiful Mozambi
Brilliant report about unusual locations and flights.
If security is almost non-existent in Mozambique, I'm pretty sure that transit passengers in JNB must be thoroughly checked!
