Taken August 2001 from Manchester to Cancun

Good flight, especially considering it was 10 hours long. The A330 aircraft was very clean and modern, and the seatback TVs make all the difference.

I was disappointed, though, at the airline's refusal to allow the use of personal CD players. They say it could interfere with navigation systems; however, I flew on an A330 to Toronto a few weeks ago and there was no trouble, an A321 last year which shares virtually the same systems, a 737-800 which has a "glass cockpit" and an A320 which is a shorter A321. Mobile phones, yes; CD players, no. When they are showing the same programs over and over again four times throughout the flight, you want a bit of variety.

Apart from that, however, no problems.
