Jump to postTipping seems to becoming more popular. Now they ask for tips at places like Subway. Even when I was in Europe people wanted tips.

Jump to postRegarding this situation, I have a little anecdote to share... One evening last February, I flew from Nice to Geneva on Swiss to get back to Switzerland.

Unfortunately, the equivalent flight in 2024 is EZS1328 according to their website. But in 2023 EZS1328 was Venice-Geneva, not Nice-Geneva... It seems that easyjet changes its flight numbers every time the schedule changes.
Hello, I'm trying to find the flight number of an easyjet flight between Nice (NCE) and Geneva (GVA) on the evening of February 26, 2023. I usually use flightmapper website, but I they only have the 2023 summer schedule online, and on February 26 it was a winter schedule flight. Does anyone know whe...
Jump to postOk thanks! So no withdrawal is envisaged for the ceo's? And what about the last 737-800s in storage? Are they all scheduled to return to service?
Jump to postI noticed that 10 A320-Family ceo's from Americain Airlines have been flown to San Salvador since the beginning of the year and are stored there (3 A319, 3 A320, 4 A321). What is the reason for this? Long term storage? Technical modifications? Future resale? Thanks!

Jump to postI was surprised recently, when checking in online on a Swiss flight, to not be able to freely change seat (among the still free seats of the same category).

To be honest watching this video the Aile Est actually looks somewhat of a letdown, considering it took them years to complete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0gwlNTt4F4 It clearly has Swiss design hallmarks but it is very spartan, compared to say Zurich's Pier E Midfield.

Less than 25% of passengers have access to a window. Less than 100% of these have any interest in looking out. That leaves a vast majority who would rather relax in the dark.
