Toulouse May 2009

[plevtls]

A few photos of some of the new deliveries through Toulouse this month. Had a few days of blue sky but not many!!

Also if anyone's contemplating a trip out to TLS always check for French Bank Holidays on the dates you're coming. There's not much action on Bank Holidays, as a couple of visitors from Manchester found out today!

I'm getting tempted by some cheapo fares advertised for BMI Baby ex Manchester and noticed that you'd been to Toulouse May 09. Are BABY the only carrier to fly there from this neck of the woods?

Any tips? I saw your warning to check for French Holidays and I know you have to book in advance for the Airbus visit. Reasonably cheap hotels don't seem to be a problem and they seem quite close to the airport.

Best place for photos?

I used BMi baby last year, for a 3 day trip down to TLS......and Mr Plev too!!!! The only other is Ryanair to Carcassone, which means you need a car for the hour drive from there to TLS.

Having been down there for quite a few day trips, its always well worth a visit.

Airbus have now stopped the A330/340 hanger tours, concentrating fully on the A380. Its an interesting tour, you go into a room, and they show you what the groundstation looked like on the first flight, even doen to film from the aircraft and all the controls, (there was a VERY attractive young lady April 09), then you get taken to the viewing gallery in the 380 hanger, you are above the tails, but you only get the three aircraft that are in there....and you know full well there is another three through the wall!!!!
But, with whats on the 380 ramp, plus all the other ramps, you will get a few page fulls in your logbook!!!!

If you need any more info, feel free to drop me an email.
