I flew on an A330-200 to Addis Ababa with KLM economy class even though it felt more like business class. Nice seat tele in front of you with music,films,games the lot planning to fly again as soon as my budget allows.
Found BMI ground staff in Dublin very helpful and fast, which gave me plenty of time to enjoy a nice big Irish breakfast in the departures restaurant. Mind you BMI could offer complementary tea or coffee on the flight to London.
That is Manchester Ringway (MAN) They operated to Chicago and Antigua with the A332 until recently when they ceased the Chicago flight (Not sure about Antigua)
there are 8 new A321's due, 1 320 is due to go bk this year. the livery will be standardised soon, however it's not seen as much of a priority compared to spending a lot of money on resolving ife issues on board and the new lounge opening at heathrow.
oh god~ may they all rest in peace~ all crew and passengers~ and may the investigation comes to a right conclusion that will help relieve the pain of their families n friends and/or will save many other people's lives in the near future!
June 1st update: and yet an A330-200 has been reported to dissapear from radar just outside the coast of Brazil on its trip from Rio Janeiro to France~ i really hope they have all landed safely somewhere
It depends very much on the weight of the aircraft, weather conditions etc. Many a times the actual rotation speed of the aircraft can differ by 20 knots.
The GE however is more efficient in air less dense then the RR so cruising uses a little less fuel but more on the climb. Lbs of thrust though is almost identical.
Naomibaybey is right, our A330 with that delivery only flies from MAN, ONLY to do the Antigua, Barbados, Chicago or Las Vegas routes. The other A330 does the Saudi Arabia route with the Star Alliance delivery on it... It is ONLY rear when you see it at LHR because of a fault with the other a/c.....
It looks like the video has had its aspect ratio changed, the aircraft looks somewhat squashed in length and width. The real thing looks very elegant. Rotation speed is approximately 140-155 kts (160-180 mph or 260-290 km/h).
Heard that Manchester is losing the BMI transatlantic flights come Janurary. Big loss for the airport however, Lufthansa are to operate more flights to Germany for people to transfer onwards from there instead.
most major airlines which operate intl flights have tvs games, etc in economy now. The best economy in the world as voted by Skytrax are malaysia airlines. I have been on them a few times, they were amazing.
there was a bomb threat at this airport the day this plane went missing. And now Brazilian Military are saying the pieces they are finding are not of a a330.
i have been onbmi before to palma and it was good on theway there flight meal wasnt that good because i dnt really like cooked breakfast but on way back i liked it cos it was a day flight so we had a meal ect....!
A very nice and enjoyable takeoff to watch. The sound(s) was great and awesome! Great job!

where was this video taken?
Did you leave by choice? or were you part of the many redundancies?
Who are you? Were you LH MAN crew?
A DC-10 looks like it was put together in someone's backyard and as it's early history showed it held together like it was too.
@kirillkhassine94 im not sure it sais it on wikipedia id say the recession
there was a bomb threat at this airport the day this plane went missing. And now Brazilian Military are saying the pieces they are finding are not of a a330.
a330 is nice...but i prefer a340...super comfortable..cheers! =)
Does anybody know where I can get a 1:400 scale BMI A330, i have been dying to get one, but cant find any.
i have been onbmi before to palma and it was good on theway there flight meal wasnt that good because i dnt really like cooked breakfast but on way back i liked it cos it was a day flight so we had a meal ect....!
It looks slow because of its size. The acceleration is quite tremendous actually.
i have one and it was Gemini Jets 1:400 it looks great
thats because its a huge, and very heavy aircraft, not a ferrari
oh ok...yea a340 has more leg room cause i've been to the same airlines once on an a330 and then on an a340.... =)
It was probably around 150-165 mph
Very sad to hear the bankruptcy on BMI
@mightyjammyd123 yes it is
really? ask him which is better, the A320s or the B737s and tell me his oppinion
really, why?
lawl...agreed.
haha thats k thanks anyway, I really hate to advertise or ask for things on other peoples videos but this time. I really wanted one! :P
Dam shame that the BMI's A330's are pulling out of Manchester to come down to London.
1:42
they only have 3 of those planes
BMI should get A340-300
and getting rid of 2 :(
it looks like a whale not happy with its Body Mass Index!
Ihave a1:400 scale of this aircraft
Pretty plane, but very slow to start!!
They didn't =(
i still think the 777 is better
@mightyjammyd123 You should make sure you know what you're talking about before you go around questioning other people's intelligence.
I dont like the paintjob. the plane looks MAD!
