...park, but the museum is free entry!
*** Walking in ***
Once parked in the very expansive car park, you make your way to the front door. In the middle of the car park, is a kind of obelisk, leading from this is a walkway lined with curved metal plaques, with names of supporters of the museum, and those that have served the US in flight.
Going into the light and airy main entrance, you are greeted by security guards, who search your bags. Once in you look around - straight on is the museum, to the left the shop and coffee shop, to the right the information desk, the IMAX (this is chargeable), and the observation tower.
The first thing I did was go to information, to get a map of the museum, they promptly informed me that if I made my way to the main hanger under the clock, there was a guided tour about to take place. So off I...

Advantages: heklpful polite and friendly service Disadvantages: the flight prices advertised are not always available upon phoning
...I have used dial a flight on a number of occasions now, and have always been impressed with their service.
I found them on a web site, but as the title suggests you cannot book the flights over the internet. The web site gives you a quote for your flight and the telephone number. Quite often though when you get through to them and quote the price there is a drawback to the price.

I rang Dial a flight and found that he would have had to travel first to Barcelona and then onto Alicante. A bit of a marathon for a short flight really, even though the price was brilliant. It does not mention these things on the web site.
However I am actually writing an op on the telephone service so...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Unreasonable Demands and Kept our £200 Deposit
...I just wanted to let people here know about a scam that Dial-a-flight are running at the moment.
My girlfriend and I recently booked a flight to Australia for the Christmas period. We originally decided to book through dial a flight as they offered the cheapest deal of £2100 for both of us to fly with Asiana. We paid a £200 deposit, with the remaining balance of £1900 to be paid on 11th of October.
Last week (mid August) dial a flight contacted us on a Wednesday to say that although the date we had agreed to pay the balance was still 7 weeks away, they needed full payment from us by that Friday, or they would put the price up to £3600 for the two tickets.
This holiday was something that was already going to be very expensive for us, and we had been saving for months, but it was impossible for us to find the balance of £1900...

FOTC - Self-titled album (2008)
As a new affiliate of this New Zealand comedy duo, I have to say that I have been impressed with this release. Apparently a cult favourite, this album demonstrates why these two long-standing circuit comedians have... more
Cities in Flight is a ground breaking book in the Sci-Fi genre, and unlike anything I've read before.
That's a pretty big opening isn't it?
The version that I picked up was the Sci Fi Masterworks version, meaning that I was expecting a book that... more
