    Options I got out of YYC; BA/GF, AC/UL, CO/QR or AC/QR were the best prices from YYC. This deal came from QR website as a 3 day sale, and beat all the quotes I got from 3 travel agents. I know there are other deals out of YYZ or YUL, but not from YYC. Looking forward to experience #1 airline in the world.

      Plus plus the logistics of the monster GE-90-115s

      Ah, well, in the cyber world, a lot of people have a lot of theories like Airbus pays Customers to buy Planes, Boeing loans planes almost FOC .. etc. etc.

              What makes you call them monster? They're the sweetest!
              Joking apart, what really matters is the operating cost - where the 77W has the edge.

                This is the new corporate URL of SriLankan. Makes sense as most people will try typing .com first.

                  Yes, they are the sweetest in a 'kid in the candy store' kind of way.

                  While I agree that 77W has a clear edge in operating costs the economies of scale will not apply if UL buys just a handful of frames, which is what they are looking for at the moment. In such a scenarion the acquisition cost and the platform introduction costs will easily evaporate the operations cost advantage and reduce the economic benefit and the viability of the whole exercise.

                  We all like to see the 77W in UL livery, but this is an adult's discussion on what is most appropriate for the economically and practically.

                    Thai AirAsia has dropped the plan to flying BKK-CMB. However Thai Airways is adding capacity on CMB by replacing B777-200 with B777-300.

                    On the 11th and 12th May 2012, SriLankan Airlines is operating temporary extra flights on CMB-BKK-CMB route.

                    12:00 - 17:00 - CMB-BKK - UL1422 - A340 - Fri.Sat
                    18:00 - 19:55 - BKK-CMB - UL1423 - A340 - Fri.Sat

                    Now most of the UL aircraft fleet got .com sticker. See some examples : 4R-ADB - http://www.airliners.net/photo/SriLa...e5b69634f2c00a. 4R-ADE - http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=7236651

                      Sorry mate, but you seem to have no idea about the way aircraft deals are structured.

                        I saw RJ A340-211 at CMB! But the website said It's A330! O.o

                          You seem to have no idea of what I am talking about. I am not talking about how aricraft deals are structured, I am talking about the economic viability of introducing 77W in to UL fleet and the fact that they are better off with A333 instead.

                            Nice to see you here ! RJ brought A330s to CMB only in Aug-Sep 2011. But they fly on A313s in summer and A342s in Winter.

                            Do you live near CMB ?
