Daytrip VIENNA <SOLD OUT> Bru.Air.AVGeeks

Post by cathay belgium »

Hello everybody !!!

The next,second, event of the Bru.Air.AVGeeks is a fact .

After the KORONGO flight with the BAE146-200 OO-MJE, I and other luchtzakkers organise another daytrip for aviation fanatics/luchtzakkers/flightlevellers/Bru.AirAVGeeks.. Belgium Aviationlovers :D !!!

Togheter and with the fantastic help of BRUSSELS AIRLINES, we can offer you this daytrip :

What ? We're going on a daytrip to AGP/MALAGA in the South of Spain !!

When ? Sunday 4 th December 2011
Flight out : SN 3735 BRUSSELS - MALAGA 09h45 - 12h40 flighttime : 2h55'
Flight back : SN 3742 MALAGA - BRUSSELS 20h30 - 23h25 flighttime : 2h55'

Bird ? <sheduled> BOEING 737 - 300 CLASSIC GENERATION ( probably with winglets , tought I read somewhere on this forum that one wasn't equipped with this but with the flaps a little degrees locked .. )
Notice : OO-LTM of Korongo is still flying some routes, who knows.. don't hope it for Korongo but would be great, altough very low chance I guess !
Quite popular few years ago, but becoming more rare nowadays... ( some Americans would fly over to fly these birds I have read somewhere on airliners haha )
With these shedules , does anybody know if it will be the same aircraft, reg. on the both flights ( 50' stayover at BRU ! ) !

What ? So I guess we'll have probably ( depending delays,weather,winds,snow ??, ashclouds ;) , some 6 / 7 hours to spend in Malaga, I liked the idea of visiting the small aviation museum near Malaga Airport.. open until 14h but will mail them .. if some interest..
Offcourse for those wich prefer spotting ( think it's december, so be aware of weather conditions, sundown..) Maybe it's possible to go to Malaga City, will check that also... ( nice city,been there already .. )
Offcourse it's sunday so I guess no shopping besides the airport ( FERRARI STORE ) and
not forget we'll have some tapas,vino,café, and some fun conversations with eachother ...
What I will say : everybody will be free to do what they want !! But I guess it will be an aviation day out from begin to end !
Friends , wives, husbands, children are free to join the group ... you can do what you like !
( Sinterklaas won't mention you, he isn't in town, he 's at YOUR home haha )

Price ? 90 euro all in !
Normal price will be 99,10 euro in bLIGHT ! but WE ARE FLYING bFLEX !!! = free meal & drink service, 12kg handluggage ,1250Miles/leg,fast security,free newspaper !!! ( NORMAL PRICING 435 euros !! for booking today )

So want to join our second trip ?

MAIL ME BACK WITH YOUR CONFIRMATION !

I NEED YOUR FULL NAME AND SURNAME , A MOBILE NUMBER AND/OR TELEPHONE NUMBER AND IF YOU HAVE A MILES AND MORE CARD YOUR NUMBER !!

I know it's quite early but SN would like to know the number of pax joining on this trip ( with these fine conditions )

Hope you will all like this idea of a second trip togheter, it was first the idea to do this in october with the new A320 but october wasn't possible and trip was confirmed for 4 december 2011
with sheduled B737-300 flights, guess these birds don't stay too long yet with SN so for most of us 'average-normal-no frequent flyer-just holiday / charter -ryanairflyers ' again a nice oppurtunity
to join a SN flight 'with the good old thick seats' and the good old classic B737-300 haha

For 2012 : be prepared for Toulouse and Berlin ! ;)

Greetings !

A380 is also very high on my list but how to organise this in a weekend with the budget of the most of us ??
Last year was thé chance for it (CDG-LHR) but now JFK,SIN,PEK,JNB, arghhhh..
Maybe when they fly by coincidence an intra-european route (fifth right-Singapore/or so..),
or when SN get them once..

But for now... I'll be happy to fly some old ones ..
remember when the old ones are gone there still will be some A380 flying around ( my generation tough :) )

PS Everybody is welcome,brothers/sisters in law,friends,husbands/wives... already 6 confirmed participants !
All Belgium ones , Flemish and Walloons ! Still looking for some Dutch/German/French ones haha
And a small number thinking of joining us !

very nice!
A 737-300 is not high on my 'to-fly' list, but a sunday trip to AGP in Bflex for only 90 euro is just too tempting ;). Count me in!

Yeah I know , concerning the to fly -list ,flown the B737-300 already 4 times this year ( SN to CTA & WW to BHX ), but every last flight on these is a bit like saying farewell to the B737-300 haha and
togheter with our similar aviation species it will be a nice day out !

Good news for Shopping-Addicted:
In AGP many shops will be open on sunday 04DEC11, e.g. the "Plaza Mayor" Shoppingcenter.
Very nice with many shops and restaurants, and the best: directly accessible by train from the airport in 5 minutes.
More infos: www.plaza-mayor.es

true!
and just checked, actually the -300 is one 737 variant I have yet to fly (although not so different from a -400 I guess), so that's nice.

Hello,
sounds interesting; could be great for the kids as an "air christenening"
(is that english for Luchtdoop?)

just being curious here : what kind of flight is this exactly ?
is it a regular flight, with some seats for the geeks -
or a special custom flight, just for our often overlooked minority ? (hard to imagine)
Maybe it's somewhere in between; or some sort of service flight or imposed aircraft movement that is put to good use?

Hi,

It's just a regular flight we're on but with special conditions qua price and qua class :bFLEX !

You can join us as a 'luchtdoop' for the kids, and you're free to do what you want BUT you're part of a bunch of real aviationGEEKS which talk boeingairbusflapsseatslivery-languages !! haha
If you wanna join us it's okay,but let me also know the birthdate of the kids,maybe I can take my daughter (8 years) so she have some to play with.. not as a 'luchtdoop' she had already 50 flights on ,child of another aviationmaniac hahaha

Really hope having you (all) onboard !

We are for now with 8 male adults, Flemish and Walloons togheter, 'old' and 'youngsters' (as it should be ! ) !

Nice weekend !

Well done, CX-B. I'll join you, so you will have an opportunity to meet someone from Luchtzak's staff.

What about Luchtzak as a steward?

I hope for it, so as with all my SN flights, 5 returns to go from now.. maybe..
<He's already quite famous amongst the stewardesses, al few of them knew about him and this site,
they said ' He's really inro it , isn't he ' 8-) :lol: >

But Luchtzak is on AVRO isn't he,so I bet less chance to it ...
( stewardesses told me,didn't now, they have a kind of type rating at SN for stewards...,
they girl I talked with said she had A319 and AVRO but no A330/B737 )

As we'll be flying in bFlex, I'll bet we will give him enough work to do hahaha :)

Really, already looking forward to it ..

So guys&girls, still 5 free seats from now..

Qualifications are:
A32F-B737
Avro-A32F-B737
Avro-A330

So no worries, you can still find Luchtzak on board of your flight to Vienna with a bit of luck ;)
