What is the risk staying in a cheap hotel, rent a cheap car, buy a cheap meal ? There is no risk, its a choice. But thats not the point..... Some while ago in Germany(Mainz), some people got killed by renting a cheap car, which was badly maintained and did not pass the TÜV. Michael O'Leary explaine...

But I still do not understand why people get nervous when talking low cost? For any other service or product sold in the world there is a low cost and a luxury item doing allmost the same basic essntial service. You'll find cheap handphones and you will find very, very expensive ones. But when you ...

Hi Fons, As long as airlines keep serving alcoholic beverages in huge quantities as a token of passenger service, this will happen. The first to blame imho are the airlines themselves... Of course the airlines are the first to blame, but pax nowadays are getting ever so intollerant. And this should ...

A stormy flight aboard a Boeing aircraft; an off-duty airline stewardess is sitting next to a man in the grip of serious white-knuckle fever as he watches, through his porthole, the aircraft's wing bending and bouncing in the tempest. The stewardess tries to reassure him; she works in the industry a...

Hallo Fons, You are in full production again. Always interesting reading your articles, as you know. BTW this is again a typical case of Air Rage, which like I mentionned earlier in the topic 'Air Rage' keeps on increasing. Total lack of respect from the pax towards the crew, it's a real pitty. See ...

With the problems in Charleroi and other airports I suppose it could change very quickly Unfortunately the ones you one out first will often last the longest. Especially Michael O'Leary seems to be a strange person, but do not underestimate him. I say 'strange', because I once had a short conversat...

Hi killerwhale65,

It is very small but still bigger than the Herpa Wings 1:500 for which you need power glasses.
The finish is also much better near perfect.

Is the Model Gemini jet 1:400 model of the Sobelair 738 worthwhile
buying, considering the high price of 25.90 euro ?

Hi MD-11,

the pics of the 738 of Sobelair represent a Gemini jet 1:400 model ?

They have at least half a dozen of it in Grimbergen, but they
are quite expensive. 25.90 euro.

Large Air Force One Herpa 1:200 models are 54.00 euro

Is that correct ?

Yes but they are selecting the words so your mind and everyone else thinks that Ryanair will pay you 1 € for your flight ! Ok but this is the way advertising/publicity works, which some call false. Many people do not read complete sentences. In fact they read what they want to see. I see this happe...
