The best way to fly from Belgium to Cyprus?

Well it isn't because they are old I hate the 737, it's just because it's a Boeing. By the way a just booked the flight at KLM.

This is the kind of irrational stupid nonsense I want to bann from this forum.

If you want to 'hate' a plane (djeezes, some people need to grow up), keep this nonsense for yourself but don't drag this forum into an anti-Boeing and an anti-Airbus camp.

Both are great manufacturers, who denies this needs a reality check.

Have fun on the B737 of KLM (or do you think they fly the A320?).

This crap drives me crazy. I hope that your KLM B737 goes technical and you are put in the back of a Ryanair B737-200.

I agree with Sabena_690 about the stupidity of this anti-Boeing and anti-Airbus crap, both companies produce great aircraft.

I just want to say that I flew to Cyprus on a Boeing 707 of Cyprus Airways, my second lot of flights in the type (an old type, but still many airworthy examples I'm sure!) I was seven years old at the time and loved every minute of the flights. For all those who love the 707 I will write a report of the flights in the Airline Experiences forum to compliment my earlier 707 flight reports!

Flight KL3399 AMS-Larnaca and Flight KL3398 Larnaca-AMS are both operated by Cyprus airways and they use Airbuses, but your right I don't want an Airbus-Boeing discussion

Yesterday my tickets arrived by mail, very fast because I only bought them last friday. KLM sure works fast!

Now SNBA is flying to Cyprus my choice would have been obvious! Anyway enjoy your trip!

B737229 is right!!!!!
SNBA flies Larnaca out of EBBR, but not at their own metal .. it is a Codeshare with Cyprus Airways!

You can also charter a SNBA-aircraft and then they will even pick you up in EBAW!!!

But isn't that cheap I geuss ...

Best wishes for 2004!!!!!

Nothing wrong with a Ryanair 737-200, they still fly great

I checked our own travel side for 4 persons and got this:

Heenreis (Brussel, België - Larnaca, Cyprus / zondag, 25 juli, 2004)
Luchtvaartmaatschappij Vanuit Naar Vlucht Nr. Vliegtuig type Klasse Via Vertrek Aankomst
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines BRU AMS 1726 Fokker 70 L 0 25 juli, 12:00 12:50
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines AMS LCA 3399 A320 Airbus L 0 13:40 25 juli, 18:50
Retourreis (Larnaca, Cyprus - Brussel, België / zaterdag, 14 augustus, 2004)
Luchtvaartmaatschappij Vanuit Naar Vlucht Nr. Vliegtuig type Klasse Via Vertrek Aankomst
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines LCA AMS 3398 A320 Airbus L 0 14 augustus, 09:00 12:30
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines AMS BRU 1731 Fokker 70 L 0 16:05 14 augustus, 16:50
Basisprijs per persoon exclusief belastingen : Volwassen - 348.00 EUR
Totaalprijs voor alle passagiers inclusief belastingen is 1687.00 EUR.

In this case no train but a great flight with a Fokker 70 between BRU-AMS vv.
I should have known what to choose.

Greetz,

Erwin

I checked the SNBA codeshare but at the dates I would like to fly all flights were full. And I decided to fly KLM and take the train from Antwerp for 2 reasons 1) It's closer 2) My sister gets airsick! The dates are as follows Ant-LCA at 10 July and LCA-ANT at 24 July

You could fly Sn Brussel Airlines. It's code-sharing but you could fly business and then make use of their nice lounge

It's always that what make me choose for Sn.

We are not that rich, economy Class is about the most expensive that we can fly! P.S.: read ALL of my post CAREFULLY and you will probably see why we took this decision!
