BA from BHX is bringing up memories of flights to BFS (Belfast International) on BAC 1-11s, 737s and latterly I am sure I recall a Canadair too (and the brief period when they shared the Eurohub with Debonair). I was on a 737 on Christmas Eve from BFS with three of us on it and the cabin crew making Christmas-related announcements through the flight 'those on the left may get a glimpse of Father Christmas going past in his sleigh etc. etc.

BA left BHX in 2007 (I think!) when BA Connect was sold to FlyBe, my last flight out was an ERJ to Paris CDG, the only time I got to go to the BA Lounge there and I remember being impressed (but this was in the days when pretty much my only experience of a lounge was the AA Admirals Club at Boston, which was not a great comparison......plus on the day I flew to CDG I had had a pretty liquid lunch too.....).

Going back further, the original BHX terminal in the 1980s with the aeroplane hanging above the check-in desks and the advert of huge eyes looking at the BA check-ins with 'Its easy to see who Birmingham's favourite Airline is'. There was also the Sbarro pizza stand at 99p/slice...but I will stop the reminiscences there!

Apologies for going way off topic!
