Funny enough when I heared of the news I just flew BA from Berlin Tegal to London and had a chat with BA staff about moving to new airport next year...

Funny little world...
Yes indeed. And I was only teasing of course - it was a total surprise to me too (a pleasant one!) when it was announced.

Big turnaround this year for OW - wonder if they have been offering sweeter deals to tempt in the likes of Kingfisher and Air Berlin?
