I suspect QF crew are the ones who are really sad the "Fiesta" route is no longer on the books. The irregular schedule ensured long stop overs in wonderful places! I have a photo somewhere from the aircraft window as we crossed the Mexican coast on approach to Acapulco - quite exciting really (I was on the "big trip" and in Primary School). Never got a ride in the Comets though. But I did have a ride in a BOAC VC10 HNL-NAN - lovely aircraft - sooooo quiet (Hushpower IIRC).
