Pros: "There was like 5 movies to choose from and 2 shows, all the movies old and my screen kept on getting stuck". Cons: "There is no wi-fi There is no possibility to charge your mobile". Pros: "The sitting quite comfortable, have space for the legs. Food was fine. Cons: "One kind of ice-cream only!! Why only Vanilla? Should have at least 2 different, to choose from.
Cons: "They let us board before fixing an electrical problem causing major delay. They needed a new part and they thought they could jerryrig a repair! The food was cold and had to be reheated, the plane was worn, overall this was one of the worst flights to Europe ever.
I did not book American, just got duped into it, but now I will make sure I will never fly American again. Pros: "Spacious, on time and smooth". Cons: "There were no vegetarian options and I was unsure where to select a meal preference.
This means that I did not eat anything for the duration of the flight Pros: "Staff was nice. Seat was standard. Cons: "Small movie selection. They are the former USAir A's and they are nice both in business and economy. There are no premium economy seats on this version. Cons: "I wish there was a premium economy offering on this plane. The first row of economy is sold as such but is really nothing like prem economy apart from additional legroom.
Pros: "I've got a lot of attention to my needs with some health issues. Thank you very much. Pros: "This is not my first experience with Finnair flight and I'm very pleased with a consistency of a good service, high professionalism and I will recommend this airline to all my friends.
Cons: "Don't understand why they do not open to get the seat until 36 hours ago. Our family of 4 got scattered all over; the agent was not at all helpful -- they seemed bitter about their working condition and the fact that they had to deal with dissatisfied customers. I talked to the supervisor and we were finally able to sit together just because a party of 4 did not show up. I am not at all happy with the AA for their stupid rule.
Pros: "Good". Pros: "I thought the flight attendants were professional and friendly. We landed safely and on time. Cons: "A nine-hour flight with ancient over-head screens? Great for those not sitting in a window seat, otherwise don't plan on being able to watch the movie. The first being a cartoon by the way.
I'm sure the 3 children on board had a great time watching it. One of which was near the front. Can you guess what the plane smelled like by the time we landed? Let's discuss the fact that passengers had to be "shuttled" to the plane because of construction. I paid additional for Group 1 boarding, so great I got to get on the shuttle first. Those that came after me also were the last to board the shuttle and the first to get on the plane.
Thanks, American, for showing me again why I use you as a last resort. Pros: "I liked the price. Cons: "It's all crammed but given the price I can't complain". Pros: "For economy it felt roomier than other flights I have taken recently. Enjoyed the food the movies and the cabin staff. Pros: "i got there 45 minutes before my flight and boarding crew of american airlines did everything for me to make my flight".
Cons: "boarding crew and flight crew". Pros: "My son and I requested gluten free meals when we reserved our tickets. When the meal was being served the crew had NO record of our meals needing to be gluten free. So we had to get one of the meals that was being offered. This was unfortunate and they made no other attempts to rectify the situation. Also, many TV monitors were malfunctioning, including mine which did not have clear sound. It was jumbled and not even clear enough to make out words in a movie or song on the radio channels.
Thank you, Emily Snyder". Cons: "Service, choice of movies, uncomfortable old seats, impossible to change my seat in advance". Cons: "When I arrived to board my flight I was highly unsatisfied with the excessive charges I received for my luggage that was overweight only by 7 pounds.
As a college student traveling abroad for 6 months, I did not expect to be bombarded with these fees at the beginning of my journey. Due to this experience, I would like to have been notified ahead of time of the expected charges as it made me uneasy before a long flight. Cons: "Our bag was not checked through to our final destination and was delivered a day later. Pros: "Great service. Comfy seats. Pros: "The entertainment". Cons: "The crew was not as helpful as we hoped for.
Did not help in finding a place for the luggage so, did not provide the secrurity paper to fill out. And was not necessarily friendly. Pros: "They were accommodating and helpful, despite being overbooked and busy. Cons: "We cannot think of one thing they could have done better. They were a very professional crew.
Pros: "Crew was nice and boarding was on time". Cons: "entertainment on the A is so sluggish people think the screen is not working correctly pushing harder and harder on the screen making it uncomfortable for the people in front of them. Food is as usual: Not very healthy and always the same. Pros: "I took the bus back and forth from SF to London. Overseas I am now in contemplation of only flying British Airways from now on.
The ride is comfortable, enjoyable, entertaining, adequate space, excellent service, food and drinks are the best I have had, and exceptional services and attention.
This goes for both flights. I have been recommending Britsh Airways over the last several weeks to pretty much everyone I know. My family and I will be looking to British Airways for overseas flights as a priority. Cons: "Connecting flight thru Heathrow was too close for comfort.
I just reached the gate at the end of boarding. If there had been a glitch at all I would have missed the flight. Pros: "And perfectly on time! Cons: "There was a terrible smell; food and drinks were served two hours after the flight started, it was dirty, cold and cramped. The whole experience was traumatising! Pros: "Movie selection was excellent. Cons: "Uncomfortable seats and tight quarters.
First class was too expensive. For me this was really important since I was moving countries so I needed to check in multiple bags. This was not mentioned or made clear before I made my purchase, if i buy a finnair flight then I should be charged finnair prices on baggage. If not, this should have been made clear before hand so I could have weighed my flight options. I hope you are able to provide a resolution.
Pros: "Good food - two meals at just the right time. The planes are ridiculously old with barely any legroom and no seat-back entertainment. On this occasion, my friend sitting next to me, who is 5'10" had his knees right up against the seat in front. When the passengers in front reclined it was almost impossible to get comfortable. There is no seat-back entertainment.
For some this may not be a big deal, what with iPads and other devices, but it speaks to AA's failure to consider it's customers comfort and ease on long-haul flights. No one seemed to care that I needed to be in England by the 18th. They kept retorting me to arrive in England on the 19th. I told them multiple times Id be flexible and go to any city in the UK just for them to get me there on the 18th. The First person I talked to said it was impossible. So I called again and talked to another person and all of a sudden it was possible.
The worst part was they sent me to Boston after that I didn't get to Boston until am and they did not compensate with hotel or anything while my flight to London was not until am the next morning.
So I spent the night in the airport. Oh and then when I finally got to London, my bag is lost and they told me I'd have it by tomorrow and I still do not have my bag and have called and they said they can't tell me anything.
Pros: "everything except food". Pros: "Very friendly and helpful cabin crew. Excellent boarding procedures. The food wasn't awful. Everyone seemed relaxed and upbeat Cons: "The rolls were ice cold, and the butter was not real butter. My husband found the seats cramped, and little foot room. I'm 5'2" and they were ok for me. The child behind me screamed and then projectile vomited for the last half hour of the flight, which can't be laid at BS's door. Many people were still on their cell phones and laptops during the whole takeoff, despite multiple announcements.
I would have kicked them off. Cons: "Plane was delayed one hour. Food was bad even by airline standards. Pros: "The Crew was great. Friendly and attentive. Cons: "Very small seat. Had a big person next to me and was quite uncomfortable". Pros: "Smiling crew, clean airplane, tasty healthy food.
I had all I needed to be comfortable. Pros: "Crew was very friendly and helpful. Entertainment had plenty of choices. Cons: "The seats were very hard. Pros: "Smooth flight from Copenhagen to Berlin - uneventful which is good.
They even offered free coffee and tea. Pros: "crew was pleasant". Cons: "boarding was chaotic". Pros: "See previous note about lost bag. Cons: "See previous note about lost bag. Pros: "comfortable plane".
Cons: "small pastry with coffee". Cons: "connection information very poor". Cons: "Outstanding service, comfort, food, entertainment options May have been best experience ever flying".
Pros: "The crew were fine and the boarding was efficient. The pocket in front of me was also ripped open spilling those annoying in flights magazines and the airplane smelled like the lavatory which was 6 rows up It was only a 9. Pros: "Good selection of movies and music. Food was mediocre. Cons: "Our seat location was near the toilets in the middle of the plane.
Seemed like an unusual high number of passengers constantly using the toilets throughout the flight which created long ques in the isle and very unpleasant smells. Would never select these seats again. Pros: "On time". Pros: "Good crew". Cons: "Limited selection of movies No food choices No snacks offered during flight First European airline to fall below the standards of US airlines". Pros: "Flight attendants".
We were sweating and drinking water like crazy they gave us one bottle and did not routinely walk the aisles handing out more. Luckily we brought our own water. Early June and headed to Scandinavia, not someplace hot. Seats were hard and I put my unused blankets under me. Cons: "late. Pros: "People were very kind. The food was terrific! Cons: "The entertainment system was slow. Pros: "Friendly staff". Pros: "A good and safe flight". Cons: "I'm very dissapointed about SAS food-service.
One can't get even the simplest Bisquit without playing. Most other companies I fly with serve food for Free. Pros: "I'm surprised this is called a budget airline or am I mistaken?! Anyway, everything was great.
The entertainment options were limited compared to Turkish, Emirates, Lufthansa or Qatar, but enough for a 7 hour flight and then some. Also, I liked that there was a bottle of water on each seat for people to hydrate. Very important, and I haven't seen any other airline do it. Cons: "Nothing stands out really. I'm likely going to fly them again. Pros: "The flight attendants were very nice and on the cross continent part of our flight we had dinner and breakfast served.
Lots of leg room. Pros: "Plane was quite empty". Cons: "Plane wasn't in the best shape". Pros: "This wasn't a very long flight and I didn't eat or drink anything so there isn't really that much to say.
But I can say that nothing was a problem at all". Cons: "There were no problems". It was a small aircraft with only 70 total seats. That being said, the seats were comfortable, the service was wonderful, and the flight was smooth.
Cons: "Inflight entertainment consisted of an iPad with very limited options. Only one non-alcoholic drink included with dinner, and purchase price of wine was the highest I have ever seen on a flight. Pros: "The flight was comfortable and the onboard crew were very nice. Cons: "Since the flight was delayed taking off, the layover in Stockholm was very short.
The airline did nothing to rush those of us through or contact our connecting SAS flights, and a few of us missed our connections by just a few minutes because of it. SAS did provide alternate tickets for me, but I arrived at my destination several hours late and the whole situation could have been avoided pretty easily.
Pros: "Good legroom good food in early". Cons: "Waiting area at gate to small not jalf as much seating as needed". Pros: "Made it safely to destination". Cons: "Series of unfortunate events: 1. No air vents in seats. Plane was very warm the entire flight. By the time we received our food in the back, it was cold. For guests who wanted to sleep during the red eye, the lights were not turned off until after dinner and cleanup, which meant only 2 or so hours of sleep in dark.
Pros: "Two something young ladies tried to figure out system, individual issues while rest of us stood and watched versus passing through loading area. In addition, delayed due to short handed baggage loading crew. Flight was one hour late departing. Luggage did not make connecting flight to London.
No wifi either. Cons: "Smooth flight. Pros: "the food was greqt". Cons: "the boarding process has no order". Pros: "Once again the atmosphere was terrific. The cleanliness of the plane was good. The staff was awesome. Pros: "It was a clean plane and entertainment was good. Cons: "Crew wasn't nice unless you were Scandinavian. I asked questions about going into Stockholm for our long layover. How easy it was, etc. My daughter and I figured it out ourselves. Won't fly them on next trip. Air France or BA r better".
Pros: "t". Pros: "On time and courtesy". Pros: "Clean planes, working entertainment, decent food". Cons: "Delay 1 hour in departing". Cons: "1 on the plane, they announced a choice of two meals and I enquired why did I get one without choice and they told me the second choice was an option only for 'economy plus'!!
That was a rude situation I felt cheated and then insulted. From time to time others were directly directed ed to the left where there was no line and option of two security checks. Half way through my wait , most were directed to the left and all who were 'late', were let out first to their gate. The whole experience before, on the plane and after was not worth the money Cons: "My first flight was canceled. I'm still in Barcelona. Pros: "The plane was full and coming out of a very busy airport but the crew managed to make a good and stress-free atmosphere".
Cons: "A very dishonest experience. I am very disappointed to be 'tricked' in this way and consider it a very dishonest business practice. Pros: "The cleanliness". At the airport I had to pay an extra charge for my second bag which made the flight very expensive and just ruined the whole experience for me".
Pros: "New airbus with good entertainment screenset clean". Cons: "Delays on boarding on departing as well as returning home Damaged luggage". Pros: "My flight was more pleasant from Stockholm to Chicago because I was able to purchase an upgrade to Plus. Pros: "Flight from Kirkenes to Oslo delayed, which meant the rest of the flights were unusable. New flights were booked in Oslo through Copenhagen, which only lengthened the original trip time by about 5 minutes.
Pros: "Best movie selection, comfy seats, arrived earlier than scheduked". Cons: "Flight attendants were not very friendly, pilot was hard to understand". Pros: "Quick and easy, nice cabin crew. I experienced no difficulties before or during this flight. Cons: "We did not get food in this flight, it was not necessary because it was only a 1h 25m flight, so I cannot rate it. Pros: "Shorter than usual flight, captain made the flight in 1 hour 15 minutes! Cons: "Flight delay of over two hours No snacks and drinks limited because of limited supply on board replacement plane".
Pros: "Flight is on time. Adequate amount of time to transfer. Boarding was smooth. Rops also drew his venom at Napoleon's relative, Napoleon III, who was president and then emperor of France, establishing a similar dictatorship. The image depicts the anarchist and sociologist Pierre Proudhon as merely being Napoleon III hiding behind a mask, with his so-called anarchist ideas just as repressive as the French emperor.
In , Rops was about to get married to Charlotte Polet de Faveaux - the daughter of a judge from Namur - and left his role as the magazine's editor. Still, it wasn't the cartoonist's final goodbye to L'Uylenspiegel: he kept contributing new material at irregular intervals until the magazine's demise in Like his satirical magazine one decade earlier, the latter story was named after the German-Flemish folkloric trickster Till Eulenspiegel, but then with a more Dutch-sounding name, Tijl Uilenspiegel.
Inventing an entire mythology around the character, De Coster situated the story in 16th-century Flanders, when the Southern Netherlands were occupied by Spain. He has a love interest, Nele, and a Bruegelian funny sidekick, Lamme Goedzak. The first half of the novel consists of funny farcical events with Tijl fooling, tricking and annoying people. At its initial release, the novel had little success. Many objected to De Coster's portrayals of priests and nuns, who are all corrupt and easily fooled by Tijl.
With the passing of time, 'Tijl Uilenspiegel' rose to become a classic of world literature. To this day, Tijl Uilenspiegel is still seen as "the spirit of Flanders". With its biting anti-clerical tone, the novel became particularly beloved in Russia.
Even though he became the most famous, Rops was only one of several illustrators in the original 'Tijl Uilenspiegel' edition, which also contained drawings by M. With three drawings, Rops was the most prominent contributor to the book. In the following decades, many illustrators had their turn in illustrating De Coster's classic work, including Frans Masereel for a edition. The book also inspired many comic strip versions, that often strayed far from De Coster's source material. Shortly after the war, the future Flemish animator Ray Goossens made a gag strip called 'Tijl en Lamme' for Kleine Zondagsvriend magazine, but besides the names of the two title heroes, his version had very little similarity with the original novel.
Between and , the famous Flemish comic creator Willy Vandersteen serialized one of the best-known comic book adaptations of 'Tijl Uilenspiegel', in Tintin magazine.
The first installment, 'De Opstand der Geuzen', was a toned down version of De Coster's novel, with all the anti-clerical elements removed. Vandersteen's second story, 'Fort Oranje', was a completely original tale, bringing Tijl and his friends to 17th-century America. Roelandt and illustrator George van Raemdonck in Vooruit Another newspaper strip was created in by Geo under the title 'Tijl Uilenspiegel Leeft in Vlaanderen' Two drawings from 'Les Sonnets du Docteur' In the mids, Baudelaire lived in Brussels, mostly to evade creditors.
Rops and Baudelaire shared a fascination for eros and thanatos. Historians speculate that Rops became even more fascinated by the dual attraction between love and death through Baudelaire's poetry.
Les Belges' , a collection of columns and comic pages published at the occasion of the th anniversary of Belgium. It shows Baudelaire trying to seduce one of Rops' nude models, who turns him down, because she already has an affair with Rops. He fell in love with them and started to spend more time in Paris, until he finally moved there in Rops lived together with the Duluc sisters in the French capital and each bore him a child. Professionally, his career took a flight during his stay there.
While his effort didn't evoke a full-blown art movement, it brought him to the attention of people who wanted to learn the art of etching, giving him more financial security.
A perfectionist, he often wrote notes to his printers on how light or dark they were allowed to print his etchings. After a while, he was the best paid illustrator in Paris. In , the Aquafortists disbanded. Subversive style In his cartoons, lithographs, paintings and illustrations Rops established himself as a subversive satirist. His lithograph 'Chez Les Trappistes' offended people because it showed a group of Trappist monks huddling together in excitement to read the biblical chapter about the destruction of Sodom.
According to the Bible, this city was destroyed because its inhabitants indulged in excessive sexual behavior. The Belgian artist followed this virtuous path his entire life. His work and his way of life reflect the freedom of spirit and creativity that characterise his drawings, engravings and illustrations. Abandoning conventional formats of the time, the artist created scenes filled with humour, tenderness and insolence for the pleasure of the public.
The titles of his works are barely innocent and bear witness to a rich imagination. No subject was off limits, not death, or the Holy Scriptures, which are illustrated from the very unusual angle of Saint Anthony faced with the temptation of the flesh.
Rops lived in a society that was stuck in a rut, where the bourgeoisie, dressed very properly, preached the values that confirmed their principles of appearances and cleanliness. He was stifled by the overwhelming conformism and very quickly his works and, especially his "nudes", attempted to explore what lay behind bourgeois culture.
