I must admit I put my luggage in the hold Bariloche to Salta and my cheap bag spilt and was barely hanging together on arrival in Salta. I only lost an Apple plug to the experience but the lesson was to keep my bag with me in the cabin.
Or buy a quality bag!
And guess what I have done since | got home? I bought the same damn bag again for my next trip!
Somehow that system has passed me by aficionado and so thanks accordingly.
And wear 5 layers!
serafina what does "Request for UPG with segments" mean? I shall assume it means this supplementary price allows you to request and upgrade but presumably at another fee per sector on top of the additional fee you're paying? I haven't seen that before hence asking.
Good point about the weight of the case serafina ; some suitcases are really heavy and I don't think some people bear that in mind when buying.
I had only cabin baggage for a 3 month trip!
Those baggage supplements look especially expensive serafina
I see some evidence that flight prices are beginning to reduce.
What follows is 29 April to 8 July.
How's this for business class?
I've never flown with Air Europa but the Dreamliner 787 is a nice aircraft. Happy travels!
Yes, the cabin was cramped. You wouldn't be standing up though would you? You would have a seat like everyone else.
It remains the Queen of the Skies. So beautiful, elegant and huge!
Did any of you ever travel on Concorde? I never did and regret it to this day.
That's a fundamental element of it isn't it Rice ? A chance to go on a Boeing 747 again.
Have any of you used Lufthansa to get to and from BA? They use the Boeing 747-8 which I've never travelled on. The aircraft is used more for freight and only a few airlines use it as a passenger aircraft.
Yeah I was on the A350. BA use it too en route to Buenos Aires as most of you will know.
That's interesting UK Man and definitely I like that configuration. Bloody great when travelling as a couple.
Just throwing it out there...I use Skyscanner generally to look for flights and serafina 's suggestion is good too of course.
These days even the "premium" airlines charge extra for seat selection and baggage and it's something I struggle to get used to and accept. I don't mind on Easyjet or Fly Bondi or similar as that was always the way but it just feels wrong otherwise with big airlines on long flights.
I generally travel alone and like an aisle seat so I can get out of my seat nice and easy. I don't mind at all about people disturbing me to get out to the toilet or whatever as I don't sleep in economy anyway.
When I returned home in May on Iberia I didn't book and pay for a selected seat in economy as I was considering buying a last minute upgrade if it was offered to me. Anyway that didn't materialise and I ended up with a window seat. I guess it could have been worse and ended up in a middle seat.
Keep us updated Splinter as to what you come up with.
Yep, Royal Doulton china, silver cutlery, chateaubriand steak and a cake trolley. And that was in Economy!
What a great airlines Wardair was. My first ever flight was on Wardair to Vancouver.
Remember the halcyon days of buying an air ticket in economy? It included 23 KGs luggage allowance and that's all you needed to know. Job done!
Every last bit of comfort to be squeezed out of a budget works for me. There's a price limit for premium economy for me but for a couple of hundred quid extra one way it's worth it. To each their own.
Then there's the dimension of how much you can look forward to your flight. Anyone that looks forward to 12 plus hours in economy is a steelier man than me. I'd go business every time if I could. But that's where budgets kick in!
And so hence I'm sure Splinter can look forward to the journey that little bit more.
I see business class flights return MAN-EZE frequently circa £3,300-3,500 of the King's money so it's the right price UK Man give or take. I saw similar on Lufthansa, and Iberia for dates albeit different to yours.
Did you work anything out Splinter ?
