2020 BUSINESS TRAVEL NEWS QUIZ

Welcome to the 2020 Business Travel News ever popular year-end quiz.

Once again a very big thanks to Rod Simpson of Air Britain in helping to put it together, to our main prize supplier, easyJet, for a return flight for two anywhere on its extensive system and Aspire Lounges have come in with three sets of double passes for one of their lounges.  Also on offer by Crécy Publications are three prizes for any of its aviation titles and, whilst LONDON CITY AIRPORT – 30 Years Serving the Capital, is now available free on-line the hard copy version is much better, and signed by BTN Editor-in-Chief Malcolm Ginsberg.

Treat the quiz as a bit of fun and point out the website to your friends. If you decide to enter, don't worry that your answers may not be complete. You can be sure others are having the same struggle. But you must be a registered reader to take part. It's FREE to subscribe with just your email address which we do not pass to third parties. Forty images this year including one aircraft that never flew.

The tie-break is very simple: "Which is the best airline at Heathrow T2 and why?" But in 10 words or fewer. At T5 its too difficult with American Airlines, British Airways and Qatar Airways all long-haul but offering completely different products.

Please send your numbered answers to quiz@btnews.co.uk together with your answer to the tie-break. 

Closing date is Friday evening 8 January 2021 at 24:00 (GMT).  The Editor-in-Chief's decision is final.

Air-Britain is the world’s leading aviation historical and enthusiasts organisation - and a leading aviation publisher. The winner of this year’s competition will receive an Air-Britain book of his choice with recent titles including The history of British B-Conditions trials aircraft, histories of Auster Aircraft, Piper Aircraft and Percival Aircraft, and the latest volume, just published, on the Bristol Fighter. Subscribers to BTN are encouraged to delight in the unique photo archive at abpic.co.uk and visit Air-Britain at www.Air-Britain.com where they can join Air-Britain to receive the monthly Air-Britain News, packed with the latest details of aircraft worldwide, and the all-colour illustrated quarterly magazine, Aviation World.

OUR READERS' FINEST WORDS (All times and dates are GMT)

All comments are filtered to exclude any excesses but the Editor does not have to agree with what is being said. 100 words maximum


Malcolm Ginsberg, London

Yes the T2 & T4 combined


Simon Grigor, Harrow

Another tough test this year! But, is this year's tie-breaker about airlines that always operate out of T2, or does it also include those that have been moved there during Covid? ;-)
