I flew this morning from Bucharest, Romania to Sofia, Bulgaria with Bulgaria Air / Hemus Air, a new airline to be added to my list of airlines I flew previously.

While I was waiting at Prague Airport to catch my flight to Warsaw, Poland, I got you this picture with my mobile, 2 colorful discount airlines parked next to each other.

Virgin Atlantic is to take advantage of the new “open skies” agreement on transatlantic flights to launch business-only services from London and five mainland European cities to the US.

Speaking in Nairobi, Sir Richard said the new service would aim to offer better quality at lower prices than Eos Airlines and Maxjet, which have both operated business class-only flights between London Stansted and New York since 2005. The new service will offer flat beds.

Virgin is understood to want to buy 15 narrow-bodied jets to operate the new routes. The business class-only services may also use some of the 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliner mid-sized wide-bodied aircraft already on order for delivery from 2011.

The other day I was sitting at Frankfurt airport waiting for my flight back home and I made a list of the airlines I flew since my first trip. The total is 26 airlines.

HLOUPA, guess which one is my favorite ?

I was 1 meter away from touching the face of this below Lufthansa Jumbo 747 at Frankfurt airport, even I flew with this machine many times before, but I was never this close to its cockpit from the outside.
