@brownsuggababiie - Maybe it's one of the Ghanaians in the crowd at the football......I didn't say it, and neither did my girlfriend, who was also there.

Lufthansa also took off while we were sitting there, but I never noticed it was taking off until it was too late, as I was concentrating on the match.

The Blackstars arrival?

Hi,

No, it was just random - I was at the football match at El-Wak Stadium with my girlfriend, and I had been waiting to catch a shot of a plane landing from the stands at the stadium. Unfortunately, because it's approach was from north-south, and the stadium is south of the airport, I didn't hear the plane until it had finished it's landing, and was taxiing to the arrivals gate.

Unfortunately, I missed filming a Lufthansa flight taking off not long before this....

@Ghanapedia Oh alright. Thanks for the clarification. El Wak is surely very close to the aiport as well as close the Burma Camp area. Great video. Emirates seems to be doing really good business in Ghana now. With the crude oil about to flow I know more airlines will be heading to Ghana soon

You know that United Airlines & Brussels Airlines are now making regular flights to Kotoka Internation Airport ?

In fact, next time I will likely travel from Brussels-Accra, as I have only stood on the platform at the Brussels train station before (on my way from Amsterdam to Paris), and so would like to spend a few days there on my way to & from Ghana.

@Ghanapedia United Air? wow! That is news to me. I never heard of that ..even Brussels Airlines? hmmm interesting. That's right I have a lot of friends living in Belgium and they like it it a lot. In fact tens of thousands of Ghanaians reside in Belgium.

[Ghanapedia]

Yes, and I had been previously disappointed myself that Brussels Airlines went to Togo but not Ghana, so this is sweet........United are ok, but I've flown better........I probably thought Southwest were better between the two US carriers that I've flown......

I think the Ghanaians in Holland might be better off going to Brussels, too, rather than pay more than double the fare to fly with KLM.......

[kakompo]

@Ghanapedia I would try to see if I can bet Brussels airlines from Europe to Ghana. I am usually on either KLM, Lufthansa or BA when flying to Ghana. I hope their service is good. I sometimes get tired of all the pre-cooked food they serve on board.

[Ghanapedia]

Oh, I don't eat from the hobby kit - never have.......always eat before I get on the flight......even seventeen hours from Melbourne to LA, and I survived on an ice cream and drinks.......

I've gone to Ghana via KLM (x2), Egyptair, and BA, and all were pretty good......but, if I get it cheaper with Brussels Air and I don't get food, big deal, I will take that offer........have even thought of going from Aust to Europe via Asia X via Kuala Lumpur next time.....

[kakompo]

@Ghanapedia I am giving Brussels air a serious thought. Of course am sure usually first class passengers get the good treatment of better tasting food.

Hi,

Yes, this was a really good little clip........

I have another profile on You Tube called "DepartureLoungeGuru", and shortly I will be adding the clip I took of me boarding in Melbourne on the Qantas A380 for the flight to LA........will let you know when it's uploaded.......

Also have a clip to upload on this profile of the Ghana Air Force base at KIA, and this clip includes not only fighter/bombers, but also the President's Fokker F28 ("The Flying Coffin", as they call it !)

@Ghanapedia Alright! Thanks.
