Hiya

As a very frequent long haul eclipse/first choice flyer, I was just wanting to ask the very experinecd and very knowledgable dazbo a question! When they introduce the new dreamliner plane in 2009 where will it fly to first or what route will be used on??

Thanks Dazbo

Hi all,

On our booking confirmation it states that check in for us opens at 5am (this is manchester airport T2 to Rhodes), we're staying in the travelodge near the airport the night before we fly so i'd like to know if theres an "easier way" of checking in than having to drag the kids over to the airport at dark o'clock in the morning.

Anyone have any ideas?

KeefG,

You can check-in between 1200 and 2200 the day before your departure date so you could check-in once booked in to your hotel and just walk straight through to departures the morning after. This facility cost £5 per passenger. For more details, refer to half way down the flying information page on FCA's website.

Nessa,

I don't think FCA know that information themselves yet! FCA are the european launch customer for the Boeing 787, the Dreamliner. I would imagine there will be a series of promotional flights before in enters revenue service. I'll be trying to get on the first flight so I'll let you know when I know myself.

Darren I wonder if you could point me to an exterior and interior photo of the plane we will be travelling on in Sept, I have a very excited 6 year old who desperately wants to know, its his first flight. :lol:

Flight number FCA 4502 Gatwick to Reus on 14th Sept.

thanks.

silverpixie1uk,

No problem. FCA4502/3 is operated with a Boeing 757-200. For a cabin shot click here. It's not the best shot I'm afraid because I was in row 5 and I got lodged by the window for 4.5 hours. The passenger next to me fell asleep just after take off and I didn't want to wake her so I never got a better shot. This photo is better. This is the cabin of an FCA Airbus A320-214. There's not a lot of difference apart from the IFE on the 757 is provided via ceiling mounted CRT screens above the isles rather than the LCD panels above the seats. Seat pitch is 28" configured 3-3.

Have a great time,

Darren
