Sep 2011, Clive D. W. Feather remarked: BA certainly used to have "set-down only" stops. So the flight from London to Pittsburgh (IIRC) had a set-down stop at Washington Dulles. Those passengers to Pittsburgh just stayed on the plane while those to Washington got off, after which the plane continued on its journey. 20 years ago I recall catching a plane that flew Gatwick-Houston-Dallas, probably a route BA inherited from BCal. We didn't have to get off at Houston, but I suspect no-one got on either (trade barriers) so we could be treated as 100% international arrivals in Dallas. -- Roland Perry |

Completely OT, but I got to use the airside bus at Stansted last week. Dulles used to have those intriguing "mobile lounge" things, did it not? Neil |

Great fun, those things. Very much relics of a future-that-never-was. -- Speaking for myself, and no-one but myself |

If someone really loves their family they don't move to the other side of the world to live. For them family ties would be a stronger bond than moving somewhere new for the sake of it. B2003 |

My family means a lot more to me than a job and a naff condo in a cultureless country on the other side of the world. If thats being "simple" then thats fine by me. B2003 |
