  This topic being non London centric and comments drying up. I was wondering how the following are:

  Squills, Genghis, Danksy, Roberto, Polly, Sir Stamford.

  Others still involved but just a few to mention………..

  Best wishes, Worz.

  Well I live in Cardiff, but haven’t used the airport in over 20 years. There are always better options flying from Bristol and London.

  Sooner Welsh Government either stop funding the airport or double down and actually make it an airport I’ll fly from, the better.

  I hope to goodness this happens. We should not go over the many problems the airport faces, logistically and otherwise. The important thing to consider with this news is that Cardiff gets a long-haul carrier back. For Welsh people who live in Australia, New Zealand or other far off countries, the Qatar flight was a godsend. The worst thing about arriving exhausted at Heathrow after 24 hours on flights is the prospect of 4 hours more in a coach.
  The problems with the awkward location of Cardiff airport and the competition from budget carriers at Bristol are well-known but, at least with this long-haul carrier, the airport can start to offer more. It’s the least that Cardiff, as a capital city, requires.
  It is perhaps easy for me to say, but I wish Welsh people would try to support the airport more, rather than automatically choosing to fly from Bristol or other English airports.

  I hope it will lead to improved connectivity to the airport. The cancellation of the dedicated airport bus (also run by the Welsh government) was one of the strangest decisions ever made. It’s such a pain to get to now.

  Given the options of flying to different locations than you get with BA, i’d have thought this was big news for HfPers

  Personally, i love flying from Cardiff for short haul, given i live in mid wales – you’re through quickly on both out and return.

  Does anyone know which 787 they used to fly out of Cardiff? specifically business class seating (assume no first?)
