INTRODUCTION You will probably have seen by now, that there is to be a so-called ‘laptop-ban’ on certain flights to the States. We thought we would do a little research and dig out the key facts, to see if this situation affects travelers generally. First of all, it’s not a ‘laptop ban’ at all.The ban applies to certain Middle-East and North African airports and does not mean you cannot take your laptop on board.Rather, it means that your laptop will have to be stored in the hold instead of being hand-luggage. Indeed it does not just apply to laptops, but all electronics larger than ..read more

STRANGE NEWS FROM THE GULF  There are many interesting developments in the Travel Industry, new destinations, new routes, new concepts, indeed constant change. However, ‘Dubai International brought to a halt by round bags’ is not a phrase one expects to hear. You would have thought that stretching 140km and covering 75 football fields, the baggage handling system at the world’s arguably most state of the art airport would be capable of literally handling anything that you could throw at it. TOO BIG, WRONG SHAPE AND DEFINITELY NOT ROUND However you thought wrong, it appears that the system ..read more

THE SITUATION Transatlantic flights are getting larger in number and to more destinations.European LCLH (Low-Cost Long-Haul) airlines lead the way. THE BACKGROUND Over 50 new routes were added in 2016, even when we take away the 28 services that were withdrawn that still leaves a healthy gain of 23. The U.S. Big Three ( United, Delta, and American) still lead the way selling 10.35 million seats between them, but sales growth is relatively static with United -2%, Delta +2% and American +3%. The fascinating figures for the longer term, are the growth rates recorded by the smaller airlines ..read more

Boost for Passenger Safety at Delhi Airport You may have had the odd free thing at an airport, especially if your flight is delayed.Maybe a hot coffee or the loan of a blanket. Now, however, the Indian Tourist Authority has taken that to a new degree by issuing new arrivals with a free Sim card. The plan copies a similar scheme in Indias smaller neighbor Sri Lanka. The Sim cards are not intended for unlimited use throughout your stay in one of the world’s biggest countries, but rather just to use to get to your immediate destination (in most cases a Hotel).The cards are only prepaid with seven ..read more

MORE COUNTRIES AND MORE DESTINATIONS It seems that not a day goes by when Turkish Airlines announces something new. Today is no exception, with Turkish announcing a new route; to its 120th country and 296th destination. It’s not a route that immediately comes to mind (it is Conakry, the capital of the West African state of Guinea). However, it cements Turkish Airlines position as the leading carrier in Africa. The Conakry flight is Turkish 51st route in the continent; all served from its Istanbul mega-base. The exotic island of Zanzibar, (just off the coast of Tanzania) was a new addition in D ..read more

Low Prices It looks as if there are some real bargains in store for those hunting for a budget vacation, relatively close to home. Now looks to be an ideal opportunity to take a break in Mexico with prices at recent lows. There are several reasons for this development. Firstly low-cost or budget airlines have entered the market in an aggressive manner, Southwest has been particularly good in that respect, but others have joined the low fares party, and it really has been a game changer. Secondly, the sheer volume of traffic to Mexico in itself drives down fares, more flights with fuller planes ..read more

With a few red eyes, passengers on Qatar’s longest nonstop air route arrived at New Zealand’s Auckland Airport on 6th February. RECORD BREAKING FLIGHT   At a whopping 14,535 kilometers, the Doha-Auckland route enters the record books and deposes the previous record holder, which was Emirates with the Dubai-Auckland route (which is 342km shorter). AIR INDIA ROUTE IS NOT THE SHORTEST ONE   Air India’s San Francisco-Delhi route could theoretically claim to be the longest journey over 15,300km, but the methodology measures the shortest possible route, which Air India’s fails to qualify a ..read more
