Hi guys,

Would you like to board your flight through a jetway or a ramp?

Ramp for all the aviation enthusiasts including me, Jetway for the boring lot and pregnant ladies. Smile

I prefer jetways if they are transparent, like the ones at DXB or HYD. It feels great to stand at the door of the aircraft and yet be able to see all around it.

jetways while boarding definitely: lazy have I become
and ramp while getting off a heavy! : got off EK's B772ER at DXB and it was so much fun

Has to be the Ramp. Shows u the humongousness of the beast, pampers you with the Engine Acoustics. Its an instant Turn-On. Smile

For domestic flights I would rather use the aerobridge. It just makes things quicker.

Now if I was flying a bigger beast and/or a new airport then it’s a different story Smile

I prefer jetways, they are more efficient, and they are better for rainy/cold climates like where I live. For the added view, I like the transparent/glass jetways quite a bit. A few weeks ago I was at JFK on a very rainy day, and my NW flight to MSP boarded via bus. No time for any ramp views or anything. I had to wait on the bus while other passengers got into the aircraft, and then make a mad dash for the aircraft. I cannot imagine what it would be like to board via bus on a cold day in January.

Like in smaller airports I prefer walking to the plane. among jetways and ramp I prefer taking a ride to the aircraft.

Jetway for me.

It used to be ramp until I was flying AMS-VIE-BOM on OS/NG and I put my jacket and thermals into my check-in luggage after I got into the terminal at Schiphol, thinking I wouldn't need them again for the trip as I'd spend all my time in airport terminals after that, especially since I'd had jetways for the whole of my inbound BOM-VIE-AMS leg. Big fucking mistake. An hour or so later we landed in Vienna, in mid-January record-low temperatures of minus 4°C and heavy snow, our Lauda Air 737 parked at a remote bay, and I was the first passenger onto the second bus. The bus door stayed open for about 10 mins till everyone boarded, and I've got to say, those were the longest 10 mins of my life. I don't know if any of you have tried surviving 10 minutes in sub-zero temperatures with just a cotton shirt and linen trousers on you, but trust me, it isn't fun.

Saw an A320 in the Austrian vintage colours, but trust me, I couldn't have cared less if it was an A380 in Boeing house colours, I just wanted to get the hell out of that freezing weather Smile

Nice observation, @ssbmat! This pic also reminds me of the one with the pride of lions sleeping under the shadow of the wing of a small plane in Africa - a Let 410?
Cheers, Sumantra.
