If you are planning to spend summer holidays in Spain, perhaps making a stop in Barcelona and live in central Italy, the new link Ryan there might come back very useful.

The airline lowcost, from July 2, 2008, will open three weekly flights from Perugia to Girona (Barcelona): Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, departing from Girona to 14.45 and from Perugia at 16.50. Less than two hours of travel to go from green to Umbria capital of Catalonia.

The rates seem rather convenient…
For example, starting from July 9 and returning on 21, the ticket costs only 64 euros per person (excluding baggage of course!).

The first time I heard of “standby” by a friend traveler incallito I thought was referring to the usual history of the waiting list of airlines… Instead the traditional formula “standby” related to the agency Todo World.

It works like this: you choose a geographical area, between the Caribbean, Red Sea and Indian Ocean, the number of nights, usually between one or two weeks, if only flight or holiday complete and the price is scontatissimo the final destination because you are only communicated to a week after their departure. On the site call roulette: if you choose, for example, the Caribbean destinations are available Santo Domingo, Mexico, Cuba, Honduras and Jamaica… Both evil does not go for a roulette!

Obviously the higher the proximity to the high season, the better prices. Departures are from Malpensa, navigation on the site is not immediate but it is worth trying. The friend who first I spoke is an absolute enthusiast and part at least twice a year with this formula!

If you have between 16 and 26 years and six one student, you can fly with the ticket “All you can fly” from June 2, with 249 euros, taxes and fees, on an unlimited number of trips with TUIfly, the company Air German TUI Travel Group PLC.

You can book flights linking Italy to Germany and then to any other country (here destinations) served by the Company. Remember that each is TUIfly is not organized with connections, so we must prepare for themselves the various stages of the journey by bringing into account the new check-in. To book the ticket simply connect to the site and choose the right option “All you can fly” without specifying neither the time nor the route of travel and keep the code issued, which will serve to check availability of the flight. Reservations can also be made 48 hours before departure. If there is a link to Internet booking may also be made through call centers to 199 192 692 or from travel agents or airport ticket offices (in the latter case may be requested an additional extra).

Jet2.com and jet2holidays.com launch from November to stop from Leeds Bradford transatlantic flights to New York. The timetable presented by the company includes four departures between November and December that will exploit the tourist theme of Christmas shopping in the Big Apple (at a cost of £ 579, about 730 euros) and the offer of inclusive packages including 3 nights in a hotel at a cost of approximately 700 £ (880 euros, all the details on the site of the airline, here. The leaders of society include a large expansion in the number of flights already in summer 2009. And the interesting thing is that flights should be operational enabling coincidences useful even for non-English passengers.

Despite some bleak analysis journalistic the phenomenon of cheap flights, to put in the words of Neil Young, “is here to stay.” The contradictions and limitations that characterize the offer of leaders like Ryanair and Easyjet are many, but that of cheap flights remains a highly topical phenomenon that has changed perhaps in a definitive way the culture of travel in Europe.

Thanks also to the liberalization of US-EU called Open Skies, by 2009 the low cost will open new horizons intercontinental and consequently open up new horizons in our travel. Or maybe not. We are watching.

Mr Gokhan M. in February this year decided to fly from San Diego and New York by choosing a flight of Jet Blue, a U.S. airline. Presentatosi boarding discovered that the flight was complete, but an employee of the company was able to do so by offering board to travel in one of the positions “flying” used by staff travel.

Mr Gokhan is so managed to board the flight and sit in one of these seats fly. After about 90 minutes from takeoff, the pilot was approached to ask Mr Gokhan free to leave the place because the waiting was not comfortable in the new place, and invited to sit in the bathroom. A nothing is worth the protests of Mr. Gokhan who became the entire trip, sitting in the toilet.

Morale: Mr. Gokhan has filed because the company, asking for a compensation of 2 million dollars for the serious humiliation he suffered (in addition to the hazard course I would add, because I know not the bathrooms are equipped with safety belts.
