G'day mate! you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for dropping by.

Last Thursday Terminal 5 was opened at Heathrow Airport. British Airways may now wish that it never happened. Since the opening 245 flights have had to be canceled.

British Airways are the sole tenant of Terminal 5. Things are so bad that the British transport secretary has offered support from the government to help resolve the problems.

The main cause of the problems has been the baggage system. Over 15,000 bags have been stranded in the opening few days.

British Airways chief executive has said the baggage system is now working well.

David Frost, director general of British Chambers of Commerce has called the opening of Terminal 5 at Heathrow a public relations disaster. Contrast this with the recent opening of the new terminal at Beijing’s Capital Airport. It seems to be all going well in China.

As British Airways are the only airline using the new terminal it would be best to avoid BA flights until the problems have been sorted out.

A visit to Paris

I was lucky enough to visit Paris just on ten years ago. At the time I was single and I felt a bit lonely as Paris is a city for romance. I did enjoy my short stay in Paris however I have always wanted to go back with that special person in my life. Now that I am married I hope I will go there in the next couple of years.

As I am a tennis fan I would like to visit at the time the French Open in being played. For any of you interested in a visit to Paris I have added an article to the main Cheapflightscruises.com website.

If any readers have visited Paris I would love it if you share your experiences with the other readers by leaving a comment. Which hotel did you stay, what food did you eat, what attractions did you see. How was your overall Paris experience?
