    Just as an aside, at $66,000 per hour, the registration 2-DEER is appropriate :pac:

    Heathrow to Dublin would be good value just for the novelty,Australia would cost you a bomb though...

    Where did the $66,000 figure come from? The newspapers that i read had it at 20,000 UK pounds.
    I didn't like the interior, a lot of those seats will be extremely uncomfortable for long flights.

    It arrived Tuesday evening before 2000 & departed to STN about an hour & a half later before returning here on Friday, still parked up on the west apron today.

    Someone fed you a line because it came from Hong Kong when he was in Iceland with his missus Jessica Biel.

    It brought some very important executives from the Group that owns the company that owns the jet. The same group owns Swissport and Avolon Aircraft leasing as well as an airline that may soon come to Dublin from the East.

    Is that the same Hainan airways that's reportedly starting in the winter via Manchester ?

    I'll wait till I see them on the ground with their aircraft first.

    Yeah I'd heard it was Chinese businessmen on a business trip alright.

    Quite normal in China. I flew with Hainan back in 2004, was a bit shocked when all the CCs came a bowed after the cabin briefing, you get used to it fairly quickly.
