Τελικά η αυθημερόν πτησούλα με την Ryanair για την ΓΣ του snowclub στην Θεσσαλονίκη ήταν πολύ καλύτερη από ότι την περίμενα. 5 μέρες πριν κάναμε το -δωρεάν και χωρίς επιλογή θέσης- check in, το σύστημα με έβαλε μαζί με την παρέα μου και στις δυο πτήσεις. Κατά τύχη μάλιστα στο πήγαινε καθόμασταν τριάδα με την Όλγα! Καθώς δεν είχαμε καμία απολύτως αποσκευή, εκτός από μια φωτογραφική στην τσέπη, δεν περάσαμε καν από τα check-in desks. Στο πήγαινε φτάσαμε και 10 λεπτά πριν την προκαθορισμένη ώρα αναχώρησης. Το αεροπλάνο, Boeing 737-800 ήταν αρκετά προσεγμένο, οι αεροσυνοδοί εξυπηρετικοί αν και όντως προσπαθούσαν να σου πουλήσουν τα πάντα εκτός από το κορμί τους (ευτυχώς).[/color]

 

Για τα €41 ανά άτομο για το ταξίδι μετ επιστροφής, την θεωρώ ιδιαίτερα καλή λύση και με την πρώτη ευκαιρία θα την ξαναπροτιμήσω.

[7ψυχος_gtsap 1,065]

Ψάχνω Χρήστο να βρώ πληροφορίες για αυτό το 41 € που γράφεις.

Μήπως θα μπορούσες να μας πεις (αν υπάρχει η σχετική ανάλυση

στην απόδειξη που έλαβες)

πόσα € ήταν ο ναύλος ?

πόσα ο επίναυλος καυσίμων ?

και πόσο οι φόροι αεροδρομίων?.

 

Για παράδειγμα, όταν λαμβάνω "free" εισιτήριο ως τακτικός επιβάτης

(μίλια κλπ) πληρώνω μόνο τους φόρους (τουλάχιστον έτσι μου λένε

και έτσι γράφει η απόδειξη) και το ποσό είναι πάντα πάνω από 45Ε.

Σημειωτέον, ότι μιλάω για "free" εισιτήριο εσωτερικού με προορισμό

αεροδρόμιο πιο φτηνό από αυτό της Θεσ/κης.

 

Ενδεχομένως λοιπόν να υπάρχει κάποιας μορφής αθέμιτος ανταγωνισμός

αν ΥΠΑ και ΑΙΑ έχουν αποδεχθεί να πληρώνει ο κάθε επιβάτης της

Ryanair για απογείωση από ΑΘήνα λιγότερο από 35 Ε που

(γνωρίζω ότι πληρώνουν) οι κανονικές εταιρίες (π.χ. ΟΑ, Α3, Lufthansa).

 

Φιλικά

Airbus A350XWB: On board the world's newest passenger jet

 

By Dean Irvine, CNN

July 30, 2014 -- Updated 1835 GMT (0235 HKT)

 

Airbus says its new A350XWB passenger plane will burn 25% less fuel than existing similar size jets.

 

The rear cabin of the test plane has been fitted out with a complete interior. The lower ceiling above the middle seats is where the crew rest area is located.

 

The business class cabin. The first customer for the new plane is Qatar Airways, with delivery slated for December. The aircraft is going through its final tests to gain certification to come into service.

 

The kitted-out plane has nine seats abreast in economy.

 

The plane's adjustable LED lighting system has 16.7 million color combinations.

 

No more lumpy carpets: The in-flight entertainment system has been wired under the floor and boxes removed from passengers' floor space.

 

Airbus have been championing the industry to make 18-inch width seats the norm. The A350XWB can be configured from up to 10 seats abreast.

 

The manufacturer touts increased luggage space in the overhead bins. Side stowage areas can fit five roller bags.

 

A seat mounted thermometer records the temperature and relays it back to the control center.

 

Two engineers man the test station set up in the rear cabin of the plane.

 

Life vests are still stowed under the seats. As well as a handy power point.

 

The A350XWB's swooshing, curving wing tips could soon make it a recognizable sight at airports.

 

As of July 2014 Airbus has received 742 orders from 38 airlines for the A350XWB.

 

Two Cathay Pacific cabin crew members put the gallery through its paces on the four-hour flight from Hong Kong to Singapore.

No frills, but a cute light that comes on when the bathroom door is opened before dimming until the door is locked.

 

The rest area for cabin crew has six berths.

 

The trip from Hong Kong to Singapore was to help demonstrate how effectively the plane could be turned around during normal service schedules.

 

 

No need for a tire change yet. The A350XWB is noticeably quiet on take off.

 

(CNN) -- Takeoff on one of Airbus' new A350WXB test planes is a strangely quiet experience.

Powered by two hulking Rolls Royce Trent XWB engines, you'd expect to hear more than just a low whirring noise when tearing down the runway.

 

But when leaving the ground and heading into the clear blue skies of a Hong Kong morning, there was little else to hear on the newest addition to commercial aviation.

 

Compounding the hush was the unique nature of the flight.

Most of the select few passengers on board flight AIB 206 to Singapore were from the plane's manufacturer; part of a dedicated team undertaking the final tests to make sure the aircraft is certified to enter service in December with its first customer, Qatar Airways.

 

The flight was part of Airbus's A350XWB "route proving" trip, something akin to a world tour where existing and potential customers can take a look at the goods first hand, while the engineers continue to test and tinker.

Named MSN005, the aircraft that flew across the South China Sea, the Malaysian peninsula and Sumatra, is one of only two of the fleet of five test planes kitted out with a full cabin, so the flight was a good indication of what's in store for millions of passengers in the coming years.

 

Seating four abreast in the 42-seat business class sections, nine abreast in the two economy cabins, this is the future of long-haul travel as presented by the European plane maker.

Gleaming cabin

It's a competitor to Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and new iterations of the 777 and Airbus hope it'll take up a sizeable chunk of the world's expanding fleet of twin-aisle aircraft.

 

At first glance, the gleaming cabin looks simply like a lovely new plane, but dotted throughout are features that Airbus hopes will set it apart from the competition and impress passengers and airlines alike.

 

 

Ahead of the curve: The A350's wing tips

 

"With fiber optics we've integrated the cables for the in-flight entertainment system, moved the control boxes to a panel under the seat and flooring and been able to make the floor flat," says Roland Naudy, the Aircraft Interiors Marketing Manager.

That could be sweet relief for those who found themselves with an in-flight entertainment box stopping them from stretching out their feet.

 

Seat-back displays in economy are 10.6 inches (26.9 centimeters), which Airbus say will either be powered by Thales or Panasonic, depending on each airline's preference. Tablets and smart phones can be plugged in and powered from the seat backs, something that's becoming a new standard.

 

The LED lighting onboard has a mind-boggling 16.7 million possible color permutations, which not even a 16-hour intercontinental trip could cycle through, while the cabin is pressurized to a height equivalent of 6,000 feet (1,828 meters) instead of a more standard 8,000 feet, which it is claimed reduces the effect of jet lag.

 

I'm a fan of beautiful things and that is a thing of beauty.

Henry Craig, Cathay Pacific pilot

 

While the plane is touted as being extra wide-bodied (hence the XWB), the height of the cabin without central overhead bins is striking (although that might only be an option for first and business class).

 

For those that favor a window seat on flights, but find the curve of the sidewall cramps their sleep, the new plane has one of the flattest in the business, so cricked necks might also be a thing of the past.

 

Another little touch is that the bathroom light that comes on and then dims when the door is opened.

 

Extreme temperature tests

For the most part the plane looks ready to come into service tomorrow, but throughout there are hundreds of sensors relaying information to a flight test station set up in the middle of the rear economy cabin.

 

Two test engineers spent the flight poring over the data, gathering up to 120,000 parameters. Everything, from temperature at certain points in the cabin to the fuel flow, could be relayed live back to Airbus HQ in France.

 

Further route-proving flights to Africa and Australasia are scheduled, and while the flight-worthiness tests have been ongoing for more than a year -- including extreme temperature tests in the Arctic, stalls, and aborted takeoffs at full speed -- fitting out the interior to clients tastes is a long process too.

 

"We expect that be around 10 months," said Didier Nasarre, head of customer program.

In fact, he said, it's been closer to 20 months for the first customer as everything needed to be done more or less from scratch.

From the height of counters in the galley to the type of carpet, every detail is examined and evaluated by airlines, said Nasarre.

 

 

Light aircraft: The LEDs have 16.7 million color options

 

The plane is made of 53% composite materials helping its fuel efficiency.

 

The A350's swooped back winglets could make it as recognizable a sight at airports around the world as the crenelated engine covers of the Dreamliner.

 

"Basically if a plane looks good, it flies well," said Henry Craig, a pilot for Cathay Pacific, as he peered out the window at the curvy wing-tips.

 

"I'm a fan of beautiful things and that is a thing of beauty."

The A350 will come in three sizes, the A350-800, A350-900 and A350-1000, offering between 276 and 369 seats. As of July there were 742 orders from 38 airlines.
