Worst airports
Planning to visit India or Europe? Budget extra travel time. If airport delays in 2008 are any indication, you'll need it.
India takes the prize as the country with the most frequent late arrivals in our second annual tallying of the world's most-delayed airports. For departures, European airports — notably those in Italy — make up the bulk of the worst, though Beijing Capital Airport grabs the top spot.
India is a peculiar case. Its biggest airports have undertaken massive construction projects to cope with the country's rapid growth. Our most-delayed airport, Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International, opened a new taxiway in November to reduce the wait time for landing aircraft.
Making some real money to travel
Ethnic problems at airports...
Do you think that ethnic problems are only present in the middle of the cities? What about the airports?
But what if you go to the airport wearing a T-shirt with non-English words printed on it? Or board an airplane while discussing the safety merits of particular seats? As we’ve learned from two recent news stories, what happens next might depend on people’s stereotypes about your complexion. And that raises questions about whether airlines, government agencies and other passengers need a refresher course on constitutional rights and plain old common sense.
Practising some sports is extremely important...
Do you love paintball too? If that’s the case, then make sure that you check this paintball online store where you will be able to buy all the paintball gear that you will ever need and for the best prices ever! What else could you ask for?
Do you reall y think that there isn't a big crisis on the airlines? You would better read the recent press release below:
"Traffic on U.S. airlines fell 7.1 percent in October compared with a year before, the carriers' weakest October since 2003, government researchers said Thursday.
It marked the eighth straight monthly decline from the year before, and traffic was down 2.6 percent for the year through October.
But airlines also cut the number of flights by 9.6 percent in October, and occupancy on domestic flights hit a record for the month. The average U.S. flight in October was 79.8 percent full, up from 78.5 percent in October 2007."
