  1. Whilst I'm no techy online am not normally dim but for the life of me cant find a way to screenshot an image on Chrome etc etc I've got obviously the 3 vertical dots which gives various options top right hand corner. Am I missing something really obvious here ??
  2. I dont expect the airport to open to tourism this year or until a vaccine is up and running
  3. I'd be inclined to take it at the end of the day the money is in your bin to do what you wish with
  4. If Korea airlines say the connection is good to go and it clearly is I'd leave well alone. If you cancel you'd get nothing Let it ride.....
  5. Yes Stelios had £56 million because he owned that percentage of the company but he has been pumping millions of his own money into revolving credit facility these last few weeks They need to get back into the air from around May 12th to avoid catastrophic meltdowns. Surprisingly their shares were up 17% yesterday but they had tumbled a long long way. If you think we are going to get Covid under control then its a cracking recovery play
  6. Am guessing others have read it about Easyjet with Stelios wanted to sack the Chief Finance Officer after he revealed they'll be bankrupt by August
  7. There is a very slight hint of financial optimism in the Markets today and the likes of Etihad giving an indication of a limited restart is encouraging There were reports yesterday from Australia Spain Italy Germany France that the infection curve was starting to flatten. Clearly thats moved over to the financial markets as all Indicies are well up overnight with ASX up over 4.5% currently but all the rest well up as well at time of post
  8. Not that am expecting any of us to be going I might add
  9. Just did a few dummy bookings using various dates. The outcome is the same.....instead of typically the top listed at £340 now we see prices way way up All the usual suspects are further down the page and I used Travel Trolley for prices whom I use virtually exclusively these days. Flight dates at top using start of each week traditionally the cheapest on Mondays and Tuesdays
  10. Qatar still in the air. Just shy of £2000 one way Bangkok London for tomorrow
  11. Again apologies for linking but kinda important https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1157441-two-thai-flights-from-london-found-to-be-covid-19-hotspots/
  12. As long as we're all still alive and well this time next year thats all that matters.
  13. Only thing that comes to mind and this is no way absolves the airlines but we simply have no idea the amount of emails they are getting and calls. Am on a Spanish (holiday) forum and was trying to explain that Ryanair and Easy jet have some 600 motors between them virtually all grounded for the forseeable future and could they just understand the level of enquiries they would be getting 95% of them are just utterly stoopid and saying we'll they should answer mine totally glossing over what they've just been told. Again I'm not defending the airlines Oman were pretty shocking before t
  14. They dont sing from the same hymn sheet Butch that incident is just one of many these last few years
  15. Omans customer service needs a lot to be desired as well. Long story short someone broke into main bag London Bangkok on 27th January. I must have sent 15 emails to various departments photos description the lot. It took until 19th March that Head of Station at Heathrow authorised a payment. He himself had only been forwarded one of my emails 7 days previously Just hopeless
  16. Emirates shutting down 25th Eva 24th BA on 29th.... Latter two as far as I know is relating to Bangkok but could be all flights Emirates is all flights
  17. Boris said nothing 're airports....there is a 320 page emergency legislation of yesterday which seems to be shrouded in secrecy....suspect we'll be drip fed bit by bit
  18. Well whatever the emergency legislation today its going to be announced at 5pm GMT today...at 6am today lead story was the probably shutting of airports....now the lead story yesterday at 6am was the probably shutting of schools Sky knows what's coming....there has to be a cut off point though clearly otherwise you'd have flights in the air
  19. You would think that would be sensible albeit most motors are sold from new to leasing companies ( effectively private banks) who then 're lease to the relevant airline Bottom line is most will owe the bank rather than the manufacturer
  20. Airlines themselves said 80% would go bankrupt by 30th April because of relentless outgoing capital expenditure with 40% already flying insolvent
  21. As regards getting home to UK am sat watching Sky and legislation is supposedly going through parliament today to close the airports....obviously with a cut off point I presume
  22. We'll they've just dropped to zero outbound... Edited...obviously some foreign nationals listed would be able to travel
  23. State owned airlines will likely survive I know Oman is...
