Yup, big red stripy machine just pulled into the gate. Would’ve liked to have seen the Thomas Cook interior but alas.

The windows are really dirty so quality is poor :rofl:

Just booked the flights for my vacation in Tuscany :slightly_smiling_face:

I already had everything planned out and bought until Volotea cancelled my flight and rebooked me onto a much later one which I couldn’t take… I guess I probably shouldn’t have booked two separate itineraries for a 3-day long trip lol :rofl:

But right now, my itinerary is: PRG-BLQ (Ryanair), then I’ll take some trains to explore the region a bit and for my return flight, I was originally supposed to go from FLR direct to PRG with Volotea but I had to reschedule and there were no reasonably priced direct flights so I had to book two separate Ryanair flights, PSA-DUB and DUB-PRG. I have a 7 hour connection in Dublin which should give me enough time to make it and visit the city center there as well. So… 3 separate bookings for 3 flights in 3 days on 1 airline… Why does it have to be so hard to book connecting flights on Ryanair?

There new check in process (which is coming this November) is an absolute pain. They are just greedy that they clearly want you to get there app just to collect your boarding pass that is unless you pay the €55 fine.

Just be sure to arrive early at the airport as public transport to the City center is a pain, no rail connection, tons of traffic (as i experianced every time i go to Dublin), tons of idiot drivers (i cant even count how many times it happens) and to top it off tons of anti social behaviour around the Suburbs (especially Finglas and Ballymun). And i have experianced this since i have been living up in the north for 15 years. If you can visit the north (especially around Skerries) its has a really nice scenic coast!

Hi! Just curious, does anyone have any upcoming trips? Love to know where y’all are jetting off too!

Nothing until next summer, when it’s off to Tenerife on a Jet2 A330. Not sure if anything will happen between now and then though. Got some things I’d like to do.

Nothing fancy. DFW to PDX and then back in November and December. American Airlines A321, probably -200 and not neo.

I’m thinking about PMI (again).

Aside from the Tuscany trip I have in a few days, I have plans to fly to Thailand early next year (on a LH A380), and then I’ll maybe go to China to check out CA’s 747s while I still can, but that’s really far ahead.

Was going to try and get the Aer Lingus A333 from MAN to DUB but nothing available when I had free time so rip. Gonna make it my mission to fly this cheeky chap next year,

Other plans not yet finalised is to fly a 717 in Hawaii and to somehow go to upside down land to do the Fokker 100. Likely would go to America again to see my second cousin as he seemed interested in the 717 idea, so will try and get one of Luftys 744s. Also, if Eastern comes out of this spot of bother, I want to fly one of their JS41s, they do Aberdeen to Wick with them. Plans plans.
