Hiya

Thanks for the offer

but I would rather buy a ticket for the Grand National in a prize draw

Maybe they have changed, and I hope they have and hope you can tell us if you recommend them Caer, would be really interested if you have travelled recently on what you think

I got stranded on a BMI flight to Florida keys a few years ago and then got bumped on the retrun to Air France to Washington, New York, Paris and then Heathrow and then Manchester when it was direct going out.

The aircraft was also 'shagg*d and even had ashtrays in the armrests; but ok as we got home in one

however I would not risk it again always go Singaporeair now


Kind Regards

Drew

I just flew Air france 3 days ago.

Cardiff - Amsterdam (KLM)
Amsterdam - Paris
Paris - Santiago, Chile (14 hours!!!!)

The Paris - Santiago trip was a VERY old plane I think a 777. The seats were very old... Mine didn't work properly and kept going back.... Also there were quite a few smelly people on the plane.... more than I have ever seen (smelt) before on a flight!

I certainly wouldn't pay to fly with Air France.....

I've always had good experiences with Air France, just to balance the books a bit. I hate CDG airport with a passion though, but that's just me.

Flew both Air France (to Mexico) and KLM (to somewhere else) recently and I could have sworn they were both in the same knackered old 747. CDG is the pits, after the beloved Heathrow of course, and it seems like you spend as much time taxiing as you do in the air.

Did the Santiago trip last year, but flew TAM out of LHR with a stopover in San Paulo.

Singapore Airlines for me whenever possible.

Do you want to pay for my flight also Dave? Considering you don't pay for your flights 5555555!!!

If you can keep your eyes open for flights that would be great... being on my ship with such a crap internet connection it is a nightmare to try and look for flights!!!
