XL UK were 'borrowing' some of XL France's planes to bolster their own fleet during peak season, I know they were using at least one of these from Manchester on the trans atlantic route. This was mid-air when the company went into administration and was refused landing at Manchester and also why it was diverted to Paris before the customers were flown back to Manchester via another carrier.

I believe the French one they were "borrowing" was a larger Airbus. The 757's had a G- prefix.

After a bit of research, Mr H is correct )

Ooooooooooooooooooh yeah :D

I think Oakley do a goggle that is designed to have glasses worn underneath them??

Weekly pass prices vary immensely - where's that for? If it's Verbier you should buy it now... but if it's for Antagnod... maybe not... 8)

Its for Ruka/Finland

Seems a fairly good price, but then Ruka's area is pretty small. Does it include buses??
