Great timing...

Well, I am just about to leave for the States on Sunday. Guess where I'm leaving from? That's right, Bristol airport. The airport that's just had several airlines cancel flights from there since the runway refurb was not up to their safety standards.

Apparently, planes have been skidding when landing in the wet

Continental, the airline we're flying with has NOT cancelled flights. I'm not sure whether to take that as a good or a bad sign...

Oh, the timing!

Flight details - Airliners.net rocks!

Going out to New York State next week and I like to be prepared ahead of time. Like knowing where the toilets on the plane are. Crucial... So I checked out the specs of the aircraft I'll be traveling in: Boeing 757-200 and Embraer ERJ-145.

Just great to be able to get so much info on the plane! Though I was a little surprised that the 757 seems fairly small for an Atlantic hop. I thought at least a 747.

Airliners.net rocks! As does Wikipedia, of course.

UPDATE: Thanks to David (see comment below) I have discovered Seatguru.com and thave been able to find the plane (type) that I will be travelling on! See here.
