Title: Aviation enthusiasts flights
Post by: Jamesmcil on September 20, 2014, 12:19:04 AM

Hi guys,

I was reading about the Biman DC-10 and the Monarch A300 enthusiast flights in airliner world and this got me thinking, are there any future enthusiasts flights planned?  I would love to get some heads up and get the time off work.

Just went to see if KLM were operating an enthusiast flight for the MD-11; yes, went on sale 16th September but sold-out :(

I'm not aware of any others at the moment.

Airliner Experience are offering a trip in a VIP BAe 146 from Birmingham to Dublin. Not sure on availability but they have a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/AirlinerExperience?fref=ts)

You have to make your own way to BHX (£10 one way with RYR from DUB) but the fee for the VIP flight is based on how many are going as it is split between the group. Worst case is €220 p.p. and best case is €110 p.p.

I've attached the flyer below:
