    @cheesecutterponice wow I was TIRED when I wrote that….lol, yes i meant 09/27 (what was i thinking) and i meant the st.philip parish boundary not the runway end (forgive my lurid mistakes)

    @adams8pjoy i believe you mean 09/27. And 27 extends beyond the concorde museum (East not West) actually

    @BACaptain777 just to supplement, the 27 end of runday 07/27 extends into the parish of St. Philip from the point just east of the main passenger terminal and just west of the Concorde museum & taxiway foxtrot.

    @jfmcgrath2010 Heh! Choice of airline is similar to choice of political parties :) Virgin and BA are both great airlines, each in their own way. Having said that I prefer the seat layout of BA club world over Vrigin UC – though I certainly wouldn’t refuse an UC ticket if offered!

    I prefer the Virgin economy and premium economy products though.

    @RJH246 Lucky you! I’m envious – wish I had a house in Barbados :)

    @BACaptain777 You are indeed correct. One end of the runway is very close to the St. Philip boundary, but the airport is most definitelyin Christ Church. Thank you for the correction.
