Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Piramidite vo Giza, Egipet se menuvaat by Zivka Deleva

Odmorite vo Egipet nema da bidat (veke ne se) kako što bea. Sega, a posebno vo minatoto za vreme na posetata na poznatite piramidi vo Giza, ima javači koi prodavaat javanje na kamili i faraonski privezoci nasekade, toa treba da se promeni vo bliska idnina.

Prviot čekor kon moderniziranje na destinacijata beše da se oslobodat od divite prodavaci, i taka da ja napravat poatraktivna za turistite. Isto taka, bezbednosnite kameri i ogradata dolga 12 metri so infracrveni senzori koja go okružuva mestoto treba da bide od pomoš i da go napravi poprijatelsko.

Spored glavniot arheolog vo Egipet, Zahi Havas, tie samo "gi štitat i turistite i starite spomenici". Piramidite vo Giza, 5000 godini starite svetski čuda čudno se otvoreni kon turistite. So drugite svetski cuda kako Koloseumot vo Rim ili Akropolis vo Grcija, obezbeduvanjeto e mnogu strogo i dviženjeto na turistite se kontrolira.

Zaštituvanjeto, kako i da e, gi rastažuva prodavacite, koi često sakaat da zarabotat od turističkite dolari i da imaat slobodna kontrola nad niv. Gi sledea posetitelite nudejki im prevoz na kamili prodavajki im kopii od faraonski statui i parčinja, maici i mnogu drugi suveniri. Naskoro seto ova ke stane istorija.

Eden od prodavačite izjavi: "Rabotam ovde 25 godini. Sega veke ne znam dali ke bidam tuka utre. Imam 5 deca, žena. Što ke se sluči so nas?

Kemal Vahid, generalen direktor na mestoto veli deka otstranuvanjeto na prodavačite nema da bide nenadejno i surovo. No "po dve godini od sega, nema da možete da gi vidite vnatre vo mestoto."

Turistite se čini deka se mnogu zadovolni so momentalnata i idnata situacija. Nekoi velat "deka izgleda čisto i ubavo" i deka tie se čuvstvuvaat "mnogu udobno i bezbedno".

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Airfares this year by Claudia Sonea

Up to now, it is not out of ordinary to hear that the airfares rose. After the oil crisis began, all means of transport have raised their fares, especially the airlines. The main reason is obviously to cope with the new costs and to remain in business. However, sometimes the increase in airfare was not successful because not all the airlines would do it at the same pace, so they had to give up the increase and think about something else.
The 13 percent increase in oil prices had to reflect in the cost, thus airlines having to pay 77 percent more than what they paid until now for jet fuel lead to the fares’ increase accompanied by a stream of firings and the list of negative effects can continue. Only this year there were seventeenth attempt to raise airfares, why would than surprise the 7.5 percent increase of the average cost to fly one mile in the U.S. on a commercial? Last year in July, the oil price was not $4/ a gallon.
On Wednesday, the Air Transport Association of America (represents passenger and cargo carriers in the U.S) confirmed the increase of the average price/ mile/ passenger, without taking into account the government taxes and fees that make nearly 14 percent of an average domestic roundtrip ticket or 22 for connecting flights. Apparently the FareCompare.com (a site of searching and comparing airfares) will not show any other roll back that would save our pocket from becoming empty, but there is still the hope that the new launch in the Internet industry will bring airlines enough money to stop the increases and the firings. Good luck!

The number of cancelled flights is increasing by Martina Janeckova

As Roger and Pat Bate were hurrying to catch their plane, they got a call that many will receive from their airline this year. The Continental employee told them that their flight had been cancelled and they should come back to the airport the next day. However they refused this and managed to think out an alternative route home. Their case was nothing unusual, this year 65,000 flights have been cancelled so far, which is almost as many as of the whole year 2007 according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Airlines are planning to cut the number of available seats on flights even more after the summer travel season. United airlines said it will cut 14 percent of available seats on domestic flights by the end of the year, the numbers are similar for other airlines too. American airlines will cut 12 percent, Continental Airlines Inc. 11 percent , Delta Air Lines Inc. 13 percent, Northwest Airlines Corp. 9.5 percent and US Airways Group Inc. 8 percent of their seating capacity. Airlines hope that by cutting the travel options they can increase fares and compensate increasing fuel costs.
As the number of cancellations is getting higher, people should be aware that their flight might not be waiting for them at the airport and keep several things in mind:
- come to the airport early with your itinerary printed and your mobile phone charged,
- read airline’s “ Contract of Carriage” policy to know your rights,
- make sure you have an assigned seat,
- find alternative routes to your destination.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Počet zrušených letov sa zvyšuje by Martina Janeckova

Ako sa Roger a Pat Batovci ponáhľali, aby stihli svoj let, dostali telefonát, ktorý tento rok ešte od svojich aerolínií dostanú mnohí. Zamestnanec Continental im povedal, že ich let bol zrušený a mali by sa na letisko vrátiť na druhý deň. Oni to ale odmietli a podarilo sa im vymyslieť náhradnú cestu domov. Ich prípad nebol vôbec neobvyklý, keďže tento rok už bolo zrušených 65,000 letov, čo je podľa Úradu pre prepravnú štatistiku približne také isté množstvo ako počas celého roka 2007. Aerolínie plánujú ešte viac znížiť počet dostupných miest na sedenie po skončení letnej turistickej sezóny. United airlines vyhlásili, že znížia počet dostupných sedadiel na vnútroštátne lety do konca roka o 14 percent, čísla sú podobné aj pre ostatné aerolínie. American airlines znížia počet miest na sedenie o 12 percent, Continental Airlines Inc. o 11 percent, Delta Air Lines Inc. o 13 percent, Northwest Airlines Corp. 9,5 percent a US Airways Group Inc. o 8 percent. Aerolínie dúfajú, že im obmedzenie cestovných možností umožní zvýšiť cestovné a kompenzovať tak zvyšujúce sa náklady na palivo.
Keďže počet zrušených letov sa zvyšuje, ľudia by si mali byť vedomí toho, že ich lietadlo ich možno nebude na letisku čakať a pamätať na tieto veci:
- príďte na letisko skôr s vytlačeným cestovným plánom a nabitým mobilným telefónom,
- prečítajte si cestovné podmienky aerolínií, aby ste poznali svoje práva,
- ubezpečte sa, že máte pridelené sedadlo,
- nájdite si alternatívne trasy do vašej destinácie.

New, safer planes by Livia Cseresova

On Wednesday, 12 years after an explosion destroyed TWA Flight 800 airplane, killing 230 people, federal officials said that a device to prevent plane from exploding has to be installed on some passenger jets and cargo planes. Mark Rosenker, the Chairman of National Transportation Safety Board believes “this will save lives”.

As Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said, the new safety requirement applies to new passenger and cargo airplanes that have center fuel tanks- just like the mentioned exploded TWA 800.

It is needed to adapt to changes the 2,730 existing Airbus and Boeing passenger planes, built with center wing fuel tanks since 1991. Manufacturers have two years for it, but Boeing is making some new planes with changes already.

The changes will finally end a long story in federal aviation society. The cause of explosion of Boeing 12 years ago was, as identified by the National Transportation Safety Board shortly after the accident, the ignition of oxygen in a partly empty fuel tank that had been sitting in the sun for hours before takeoff. However, the FBI believed that the plane exploded because of a bomb.

In 2005, the Federal Aviation Administration proposed a rule to prevent future explosions, but the aviation industry said the price was too high.

The definite rule requires aircraft manufacturers and passenger airlines to install devices that replace oxygen with inert nitrogen in fuel tanks as they empty.

The spokeswoman for Air transport Association of America, Victoria Day, said that the airlines “will, of course, comply with the rule."

Matt Ziemkiewicz lost his sister who was a flight attendant aboard TWA Flight 800. Ziemkiewicz said he was "disappointed this didn't happen sooner. We knew this was a preventable accident before Flight 800." But he is satisfied with the new rule, which is "reasonable and realistic."

The price of new technology will probably range from $92,000 to $311,000 per aircraft. The exact cost depends on a size of aircraft, Mary Peter said. According to Robert Strugell, FAA Acting Administrator, the cost to industry overall will be about $1 billion.

Initial estimates about 10 years ago put the potential cost of protecting fuel tanks from explosion as high as $36 billion.

Qantas CEO: Emergency likely beyond its control by Michaela Vargova

SYDNEY, Australia - The Qantas plane forced to make an emergency landing in the Philippines after a massive hole tore through its side.
QF Flight 30 from London to Melbourne had left Hong Kong airport after a stopover at 9 a.m. local time. The plane was travelling at 29,000 feet when a loud explosion ripped through the plane's underside. Immediately, it lost pressure and descended rapidly before making an emergency landing at Manila airport. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries, airline officials said. The passengers were finally taken to several hotels in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and then left just before midnight on another plane to Melbourne. The chief executive of Qantas Airways', Australia's largest airline, praised the pilots and the rest of the crew for how they handled Friday's events.
Australian investigators traveled to Manila to inspect the damaged aircraft. Experts said the hole in the fuselage, which measured about 2mx4m, could have been caused by metal fatigue, an internal explosion or a combination of both. The damage occurred at a point where the highly explosive oxygen bottles are stored.
Aviation sources also revealed that aircraft engineers had noted a "lot" of corrosion during the refit. According to aviation experts, investigators would also closely examine the maintenance regime of the ageing 747, registered in 1991.
Friday's incident remembered the case of 1988 in which a large section of an older Aloha Airlines jetliner was torn off over Hawaii due to metal fatigue. Although the pilots were able to land, a flight attendant died and many of the 89 passengers were seriously injured.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Quantas CEO: Nekontrolovateľný stav núdze by Michaela Vargova

SYDNEY, Austrália & Lietadlo austrálskej spoločnosti Quantas muselo núdzovo pristáť na Filipínach po tom, čo časť na jeho palube nastala explózia, ktorá po sebe zanechala obrovskú dieru.
Let QF 30 z Londýna do austrálskeho Melbourne mal medzipristátie v Hong Kongu, ktorý následne opustil o 9tej hodine miestneho času. Lietadlo sa vznášalo približne vo výške 29 000 stôp, keď ním zrazu otriasla hlasná explózia, ktorá odtrhla časť konštrukcie. Tlak v kabíne okamžite poklesol a lietadlo sa rýchlo rútilo k zemi. Pilotovi sa situácia podarila zachrániť núdzovým pristátím na Filipínach. Šťastím sa dá taktiež nazvať fakt, že počas hrozivo vyzerajúceho incidentu nedošlo k žiadnym zraneniam. Pasažieri boli šťastlivo umiestnení do miestnych hotelov v Manile, aby mohli byť následne krátko po polnoci prevezení do pôvodne cieľovej stanice - Melbourne. Výkonný riaditeľ Qantas Airways', mimochodom najväčšej austrálskej leteckej spoločnosti, zložil poklonu pilotom a zvyšku posádky po tom, ako bravúrne zvládli piatkovú katastroficky vyzerajúcu udalosť
Austrálsky vyÅ¡etrovatelia vycestovali do Manily, hlavného mesta Filipín, aby preÅ¡etrili Å¡kody na lietadle. Experti sa zhodujú v názore, že diera v trupe, ktorej rozmery dosahovali 2m x 4m, mohla byÅ¥ pravdepodobne spôsobená končiacou životnosÅ¥ou kovovej konÅ¡trukcie, vnútornou explóziou, alebo kombináciou oboch činiteľov. Incident totiž prebehol na mieste, kde sa v lietadle skladujú vysoko explozívne kyslíkové fľaÅ¡e.
Letecké zdroje odhalili verejnosti informáciu, že leteckí inžinieri zaznamenali počas prehliadky pomerne rozsiahlu koróziu na kovovej konÅ¡trukcii boingu. S ohľadom na tieto skutočnosti sa lietadlo podrobí podrobnej prehliadke.
Piatkový incident pripomenul verejnosti prípad leteckého ne/Å¡Å¥astia z roku 1988, kedy sa z lietadla z dôvodu končiacej životnosti jeho kovovej konÅ¡trukcie odtrhla jej značná časÅ¥. Pilot bol síce schopný pristáť, avÅ¡ak tento prípad si na rozdiel od piatkového prípadu vyžiadal jednu obeÅ¥ a 89 vážne ranených pasažierov.

Chris Cantell behadelt Das Reisen: Geschäftsführer von Qantas: Sicherheit wahrscheinlich außer Kontrolle by Barbora Haramiova

SYDNEY, Australien & Das Flugzeug der Gesellschaft Quantas musste auf Philippinen notlanden, nachdem ein großes Loch an der Seite des Flugzeugs herausgerissen wurde.
QF Flug 30 aus London nach Melbourne verließ den Flughafen in Hong Kong nach einer Pause um 9 Uhr lokaler Zeit. Die Flughöhe betrug 29000 Füße, wenn plötzlich eine laute Explosion den unteren Teil des Flugzeugs erschütterte. Unmittelbar danach kam es zu einem Druckverlust und das Flugzeug sank sehr schnell, bevor es auf dem Flughafen in Manila notlandete. Funktionäre der Fluglinien sagten, es habe zum Glück keine Berichte über Verletzungen gegeben. Die Passagiere wurden schließlich in verschiedenen Hotels in Manila, der Hauptstadt der Philippinen, untergebracht und vor Mitternacht flogen sie mit einem anderen Flugzeug weiter nach Melbourne. Geschäftsführer von Qantas Airways, den größten Fluglinien Australiens, lobte den Piloten und die ganze Mannschaft für die erfolgreiche Handhabung der Ereignisse am Freitag.
Australische Ermittler reisten nach Manila, um das beschädigte Flugzeug zu untersuchen. Experten sagten, das Loch im Rumpfwerk hätte durch Metallmüdigkeit oder eine interne Explosion oder durch Kombination von beiden verursacht werden können. Der Schaden tauchte an der Stelle auf, wo hoch explosive Sauerstoffflaschen gelagert wurden.
Gut informierte Quellen aus dem Fliegensbereich enthüllten auch, dass Flugingenieure während der Revision auf "viel" Korrosion gestoßen seien. Laut den Experten würden die Ermittler sehr detailliert auch das Aufrechterhaltungsregime des älteren 747 untersuchen, das 1991 registriert wurde.
Der Vorfall am Freitag erinnert an einen Fall von 1988, wenn ein großer Teil eines älteren Flugzeugs der Gesellschaft Aloha Airlines über Hawai wegen der Metallmüdigkeit herausgerissen wurde. Obwohl es dem Piloten gelungen ist, zu landen, kam ein Flugbegleiter ums Leben und viele von den 89 Passagieren wurden ernsthaft verletzt.

Chris Cantell Discusses Business: Pickens predal celý svoj podiel v Yahoo by Livia Cseresova

T. Boone Pickens, miliardársky investor, predal kvôli spôsobu ako sa manažment Yahoo Inc. Správal v rokovaniach s Microsoft Corp. všetky svoje akcie v spoločnosti.

Ako povedal Pickens pre San Francisco Chronicle, predal všetky svoje (10 miliónov) podiely stratovo. Dôvodom bola jeho iritácia s opakovaným odmietaním ponúk Microsoftu spoločnosťou.

Pickens verí, že „manažment Yahoo bol patetický.“, a odmietol vyčísliť svoje straty. Ale jeho hranica bola dosiahnutá v Máji, keď Yahoo obchodoval medzi 24 a 28 dolármi za podiel.

Celý minulý týždeň, ceny akcií Yahoo nedosiahli viac ako 22.50 dolárov, čo veľmi pravdepodobne znamená, že Pickens stratil milióny dolárov. Podiely Yahoo vo štvrtok získali 3 centy a skončili na 20.15 dolárov.

Iní sklamaní akcionári si pravdepodobne pohovoria s Jerrym Yangom, hlavným konateľom Yahoo, a jeho kolegami v piatok, na ročnom mítingu spoločnosti.

Akcionári sú nahnevaní, pretože v máji Yang odmietol ponuku Microsoftu na odkúpenie Yahoo za 33 dolárov za akciu. Yang chcel 37 dolárov a Microsoft z ponuky vycúval. 37 dolárov je cena, akú akcie Yahoo nedosiahli už dva a pol roka.

Momentálne je hodnota trhu Yahoo fixovaná približne na cene o 20 miliárd nižšej ako bola posledná ponuka Microsoftu.

Microsoft taktiež ponúkol nákup on-line vyhľadávacích operácií Yahoo v komplexnejšej dohode, a to dokonca dvakrát. Tieto návrhy boli ale tiež odmietnuté.

T. Boone Pickens investoval do Yahoo sčasti ako stávku na investora Carla Icahna. Icahn spustil kampaň na zbavenie sa predstavenstva Yahoo dúfajúc, že to obnoví ponuky Microsoftu.

Icahn potom presvedčil Microsoft aby urobil ponuku iba pre časť Yahoo a vyrokoval si zmluvu, ktorá zaručuje jemu a dvom jeho partnerom miesta v rozšírenom predstavenstve.

A hoci osem (z deviatich) vedúcich ktorí odmietli Microsoft v predstavenstve ostáva, Icahn stále dúfa, že dohodne predaj.

Qantas will repair its plane damaged by explosion by Livia Cseresova

Qantas, Australian airline which is said to be one of the safest airlines in the world, will repair a huge hole in the side of its jetliner caused by exploding oxygen bottle, as it said on Thursday. By doing this, it will preserve its record of never losing a jet plane.

As the investigators said on Wednesday, the oxygen bottle exploded last Friday during a flight from English London to Australian Melbourne and the pilots were forced to quickly go down thousands of feet and land in emergency in the Philippines with four instrument systems disabled.

Qantas will, however, repair the damaged jet, according to the spokesman of the world's second oldest airline. The spokesman, who, as is common for the company, wanted to stay in anonymity, said they "certainly believe it is repairable".

As said by Paul Cousins of the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association, representing 1,500 engineers employed by Australia's flagship airline, the jet seems to be savable.

Cousins also said that he would "expect Qantas to guard fairly closely their reputation for never having lost a jet aircraft, but in this particular case, from what I've seen from pictures, the aircraft is repairable."

Qantas, which had experiences troubles with airplanes before, rather spent almost $100 million on repairs to a plane that ran off in Bangkok in 1999 during a storm, just not to write it off. And Cousins said pilots and engineers claimed that the plane was just like new after the repairing.

Also, a Qantas-leased plane was close to be written off in February, after landing in the Australian city of Darwin. But according to Cousins, the airframe was unharmed and that jet was mended. No people were injured back then.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Qantas opraví svoje liedalo zničené explóziou by Livia Cseresova

Qantas, austrálske aerolínie, ktoré vraj patria medzi tie najbezpečnejšie aerolínie na svete, opravia obrovskú dieru na strane jedného zo svojich lietadiel, ktorá bola spôsobená explóziou fľaše s oxygénom, ako bolo povedané vo štvrtok. Týmto zachránia svoju povesť nestratenia ani jedného lietadla v celej svojej histórii.

Ako v stredu povedali vyšetrovatelia, fľaša s oxygénom vybuchla minulý piatok počas letu z anglického Londýna do austrálskeho Melbourne a piloti boli preto nútení núdzovo pristáť na Filipínach so štyrmi nefunkčnými inštrumentálnymi systémami.

Qantas ale podľa hovorcu týchto aerolínií –inak druhých najstarších aerolínií na svete- lietadlo opraví. Hovorca, ktorý si, ako je pre spoločnosť zvykom, želá zostať v anonymite, povedal, že verí „že sa to istotne dá opraviť.“

Ako povedal Paul Cousins z Austrálskej Licencovanej Technickej Asociácie Lietadiel, ktorý zastupuje až 1500 technikov zamestnaných v austrálskej aerolínii vlajkových lodí, zdá sa, že lietadlo je možné zachrániť.

Cousins tiež povedal že by „očakával, že Qantas chce dostatočne chrániť svoju reputáciu nestratenia lietadla, ale v tomto konkrétnom prípade, z toho, čo som videl z obrázkov, lietadlo sa dá opraviť.“

Qantas, ktorý už mal v minulosti, samozrejme, problémy so svojimi lietadlami, radšej minul skoro 100 miliónov dolárov na opravy lietadla, ktoré sa pokazilo v Bangkoku v roku 1999 počas búrky, len aby ho nemuseli definitívne vyradiť. A Cousins tvrdí, že piloti a technici tvrdili, že lietadlo bolo po oprave presne ako nové.

Taktiež, lietadlo prenajímane Quantasom bolo vo Februári veľmi blízko k definitívnemu odpísaniu po pristátí v austrálskom meste Darwin. Ale podľa Cousinsa, jeho konštrukcia bola úplne v poriadku a nezničená, a lietadlo bolo opravené. Nezranili sa pritom žiadni ľudia.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Qantas reparará su avión dañado por explosión by Veronika Pellerova

Qantas, aerolínea australiana que, como se dice, es una de las aerolíneas más seguras en el mundo, reparará un enorme agujero en el lado de su avión causado por una explosión de una botella de oxígeno, lo declararon el jueves. Así mantendrán su registro de nunca perder un avión.

Como los investigadores dijeron el miércoles, la botella de oxígeno explotó el viernes pasado durante un vuelo de Londres a Melbourne y los pilotos tuvieron que bajar rápidamente miles de pies y aterrar en la emergencia en Filipinas con cuatro sistemas minusválidos.

Qantas, sin embargo, reparará el avión dañado, según el portavoz de la segunda aerolínea más vieja en el mundo. El portavoz, quien quiere quedarse de anonimato, dijo que ellos " seguramente creen que es reparable ".

Como dijo Paul Cousins del sindicato Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association , que representa a 1,500 ingenieros empleados de las aerolíneas de Australia, el avión parece ser savable.

Cousins también dijo que él " esperaría que Qantas guardara estrechamente su reputación de nunca haber perdido un avión , pero en este caso particular, de lo que he visto de fotos, el avión es reparable. "

Qantas, que antes ya tenía problemas con sus aviones, prefería gastar casi 100 millones de dólares para la reparación de un avión que se estropeó en Bangkok en 1999 durante una tormenta, justo para no amortizarlo. Y Cousins dijó que los pilotos e ingenieros demandaron que el avión era justo como nuevo después del reparo.

También, un avión Qantas- fue casi amortizado en febrero, después del aterrizaje en la ciudad australiana de Darwin. Pero según Cousins, la armadura de avión salió ilesa y el avión fue reparado.Nadie fue herido.

Egypt's Giza Pyramid's change by Livia Cseresova

The holidays in Egypt will not be (and already aren’t) the same as they used to be. While now and especially in the past during visiting the famous beautiful Giza Pyramids, there are peddlers selling camel rides and pharaonic charms everywhere, it should change in the near future.

The first step of modernizing the destination was getting rid of the hawkers, and so making it more attractive for tourists. Also, security cameras and 12-mile fence with infrared sensors surrounding the place should be helpful in making it more tourist-friendly.

According to Egypt’s chief archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, they are just “protecting both the tourists and the ancient monuments.” The Giza pyramids, the 5,000-year-old Wonder of the World have been strangely open to tourists. In other World Wonders like Colosseum in Rome or Acropolis in Greece, the security is very tight and the movement of tourists is controlled.

The “protecting”, however, really saddens the hawkers, who were often looking to benefit from the tourist dollar and had free rein. They were following the visitors offering rides on camels and selling imitations of pharanoic statues and scarabs, T-Shirts and many other souvenirs. It will become history soon, though.

One of the hawkers said: “I've been working here for 25 years. Now I don't know if I will be here tomorrow. I have five children, a wife. What will happen to us?”

Kamal Wahid, the general director of the site claims that removing the sellers won’t be sudden or unkind. But “two years from now, you won't see them inside the site.”

Tourists seem to be very satisfied with the current –and the future- situation. Some say “it looks clean and beautiful” and that they feel “very comfortable and secure.”

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Zmena Giza pyramíd v Egypte by Livia Cseresova

Dovolenka v Egypte už nebude (a čiastočne už ani nie je) taká, ako bývala. Kým teraz -a hlavne v minulosti- vás počas návštevy krásnych Giza Pyramíd všade prenasledovali obchodníci predávajúci jazdy na ťavách a suveníry s faraónmi, v blízkej budúcnosti by, čo sa tohto týka, mala nastať radikálna zmena.

Prvým krokom v modernizácii tohto turisticky veľmi obľúbeného miesta by malo byť zbavenie sa obchodníkov a tak ho robiť zaujímavejším pre návštevníkov. Taktiež, bezpečnostné kamery a 12-míľový plot s infračervenými senzormi obklopujúce miesto by mali byť nápomocné v robení ho priateľskejším pre turistov.

Podľa hlavného egyptského archeológa, Zahi Hawass-a, iba „ochraňujú turistov, a taktiež antické monumenty.“ Giza pyramídy, 5000 rokov starý div sveta, boli dlho prekvapivo otvorené pre turistov. Čo sa týka iných divov sveta, ako sú Koloseum v Ríme alebo Acropolis v Grécku, bezpečnosť je tu veľmi prísna a pohyb turistov je kontrolovaný.

Táto „ochrana“, avšak, skutočne zarmucuje obchodníkov, ktorí sa často snažili vyťažiť z dolárov návštevníkov a neboli veľmi kontrolovaní. Často prenasledovali návštevníkov a snažili sa im ponúknuť jazdy na ťavách a predať imitácie sošiek faraónov a scarabov, tričká a veľa iných suvenírov. Toto sa ale v blízkej budúcnosti stane minulosťou.

Jeden z predajcov povedal: „Pracoval som tu celých 25 rokov. A teraz nemám predstavu či tu zajtra budem. Mám päť detí a manželku. Čo teraz s nami bude?“

Kamal Wahid, generálny riaditeľ tohto miesta tvrdí, že odstránenie predajcov nebude v nijakom prípade náhle alebo kruté. Ale „o dva roky neuvid´te na tomto mieste už žiadnych.“

Turisti sa, na rozdiel od obchodníkov zdajú byť s novou situáciou veľmi spokojní. Niektorí hovoria, že „to tu vyzerá čisto a krásne“ a že sa teraz cítia „veľmi pohodlne a bezpečne.“

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: El cambio de las Pirámides de Giza de Egipto by Veronika Pellerova

Las vacaciones en Egipto no serán (y ya no son) las mismas como solían ser. Mientras ahora y sobre todo en el pasado durante la visita de las Pirámides famosas de Giza, habían paseos en camello y la magia faraónica por todas partes, esto debería cambiarse en futuro cercano.

El primer paso de modernizar las pirámides es deshacerse de los vendedores, y así hacer lo más atractivo para turistas. También, las cámaras de seguridad y la valla de 12 millas con sensores infrarrojos que rodean el lugar deberían hacer el ambiente más agradable para turistas.

Según el arqueólogo principal de Egipto, Zahi Hawass, ellos solamente " protegen tanto a turistas como los monumentos antiguos. " Las pirámides de Giza, las Maravilla del Mundo de 5,000 años han sido abiertas a turistas de una manera extraña. En otras Maravillas del Mundo como el Coliseo de Roma o la Acrópolis de Grecia, la seguridad es muy estricta y el movimiento de turistas es controlado.

"La protección", sin embargo, realmente entristece a los vendedores, que beneficiaban de turistsa. Seguían a los visitantes y ofrecían paseos en camellos y las imitaciones de estatuas de faraones y escarabajos, camisetas y muchos otros recuerdos. Esto pronto se hará historia.

Uno de los vendedores dijo: " He estado trabajando aquí durante 25 años. Ahora no sé si estaré aquí mañana. Tengo cinco niños, una esposa. ¿Qué pasará con nosotros? ".

Kamal Wahid, el director general del sitio demanda que la eliminación de los vendedores no será repentina o poco amable. Pero " dos años de ahora, usted no los verá dentro del sitio. "

Los turistas parecen estar muy satisfechos por la situación actual y futura. Unos dicen " parece limpio y hermoso " y que se sienten " muy cómodos y seguros. "

Why do Britons behave so badly abroad? by Beata Novomeska

It is known that the behavior of Britons abroad is inapt. I can confirm from my own experience. I live in Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia. We were on ice cream in one restaurant. We sat down outside. We talked together, smiled each other, everything was fine. Than in a moment later there came a group of British tourists, men between 30-40. They ordered beer and started to speak together. They were extremely noisy and people who sat outside, started to leave. In 10 minutes time, there was n't anyone. Stuff in restaurant call their attention to their inappropriate behavior more times. But it didn't help. Masters of situation and the only customers in this restaurant became Britons. And I think it is only one of many other examples of British behavior abroad. It is known that our city, Bratislava, has the problems with British tourists.
Last year, young Briton was bathing naked in fountain before Slovak National Theater. He was masturbating. He was drunken. It was in the night and police arrested him. He was getting to married and it was his farewell with freedom. It wasn't the first case of bathing in town's fountain of British tourists. Britons go to Bratislava, because it is cheap destination for them and they don't respect the rules, which they should respect. I think they didn't afford many things which they do abroad, because in their country they would have bigger sanctions as they have somewhere abroad. I think they should aware that they can't behave like that, because they are humans, not animals. If not, they won't be welcome.
Problems with Britons are not only in my country, but in other countries, too. For example in Spain, United States, Cyprus, Dubai or Greece. I think Britons should think of themselves and cause less problems than do now. It would be better for themselves and foreign countries, too.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Prečo sa Briti správajú tak zle v zahraničí? by Beata Novomeska

Je známe, že správanie Britov v zahraničí je nevhodné. Môžem to potvrdiť z vlastnej skúsenosti. Žijem v Bratislave, hlavnom meste Slovenska. Boli sme na zmrzline v jednej reštaurácii. Sadli sme si von. Rozprávali sme sa, usmievali jeden na druhého, všetko bolo fajn. Potom o chvíľu neskôr prišla skupina britských turistov, mužov medzi 30-40. Objednali si pivo a začali sa spolu rozprávať. Boli extrémne hluční a ľudia, ktorí sedeli vonku začali odchádzať. Za 10 minút tam nebol nikto. Zamestnanci reštaurácie ich viackrát upozornili na nevhodné správanie. Ale to nepomohlo. Pánmi situácie a jedinými zákazníkmi v reštaurácii sa stali Briti. A myslím si, že toto je len jeden z mnohých ďalších príkladov správania Britov v zahraničí. Je známe, že naše mesto Bratislava má problémy s britskými turistami.
Minulý rok mladý Brit sa kúpal nahý vo fontáne pred Slovenským národným divadlom. Onanoval. Bol opitý. Bola noc a polícia ho zatkla. Išiel sa ženiť a toto bola rozlúčka so slobodou. Nebol to prvý prípad kúpania sa britských turistov vo fontáne. Briti chodia do Bratislavy, pretože je pre nich lacná destinácia a nerešpektujú pravidlá, ktoré by mali rešpektovať. Myslím si, že by si nedovolili mnohé veci, ktoré robia v zahraničí, pretože v ich krajine by mali väčšie sankcie ako majú niekde v zahraničí. Myslím si, že by si mali byť vedomí, že sa nemôžu tak správať, pretože sú ľudia, nie zvieratá. Ak nie, nebudú vítaní.
Problémy s Britmi nie sú len v mojej krajine, aj v iných krajinách. Napríklad v Španielsku, Spojených štátoch amerických, na Cypre, v Dubaji alebo v Grécku. Myslím si,že Briti by sa mali nad sebou zamyslieť a spôsobovať menej problémov ako robia teraz. Bolo by to lepšie pre nich samých a pre zahraničné krajiny tiež.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: So ekonomiziranjeto na aviokompaniite pilotite se staveni pod pritisok by Zivka Deleva

Da se bide pilot samo po sebe i da se ima odgovornost za stoticite luge vo avionot e dovolno stresno, no ovie denovi se čini deka aviokompaniite želni da gi namalat trošocite se dvižat kon sosema poinakvo nivo. So cel da zaštedat pari aviokompaniite ja namalija količinata na rezervno gorivo vo avionite, što se razbira gi voznemiruva pilotite. Pomalku gorivo znači deka vo slučaj na odloženo sletuvanje ili loši vremenski uslovi pilotite ke bidat prinudeni da sletaat itno na nekoj aerodrom vo blizina. So nedovolnata količina na gorivo pilotite se staveni pod pritisok,i izjavite na aviokompaniite kon nivnite vraboteni samo pridonesuvaat kon ova. Zemete go na primer buletinot na Kontinental airlines koj veli: "Dodavanjeto gorivo neograničeno bez kritičnoto razmisluvanje ultimativno go namaluva profitot i možnosta za sponzoriranje na penziskite fondovi." Aviokompaniite velat deka avionite ke ostanat bezbedni, zatoa što tie imaat dovolno količestvo gorivo koe e prepišano od Federalnata Avijaciska Administracija.Rezervnoto gorivo vo avionot bi trebalo da bide dovolno da se stigne do sakanata destinacija i plus da leta dopolnitelni 45 minuti. Dosega ne se prijaveni prekršuvanja na ova pravilo. "Sé što e napraveno od strana na prevoznicite e toa deka pilotite se prašani da go opravdaat dopolnitelnoto količestvo gorivo nad ona što e odobreno od FAA," izjavi Dejvid Kastelveter od Vozdušnata Transportna Asocijacija, koja gi pretstavuva amerikanskite aviokompanii. Drug argument e deka pomalo količestvo na gorivo znači pomala težina na avionot što im ovozmožuva na avionite da letaat povisoko i da gorat pomalku gorivo i da nosat poveke patnici ili tovar. Od druga strana eve gi izveštaite od pilotite. Pred nekolku meseci na primer, kapetan na Boing 747 naletal na silni vetrovi dodeka go preletuval Atlantikot na pat koj megunarodniot aerodrom Dzon F. Kenedi vo Nju Jork i posledovatelno prijavil malo količestvo na gorivo. Toj sakal da zastane so cel da go napolni avionot povtorno so gorivo, no otkako se konsultiral so operativniot menadzer koj mu rekol deka nivoto na gorivo e dovolno toj prodolžil so letot. Posle sletuvanjeto na Kenedi aerodromot toj izjavil deka avionot imal tolku malku gorivo što vo slučaj na odložuvanje na sletuvanjeto "Jas ke morav da proglasam iten slučaj na gorivo." I može da dodademe ušte rizici slični na ovoj prijaveni od pilotite.

JetBlue readies new post-9/11 terminal at JFK by Radka Konkolova

People use all of the means of transport to reach their destination. All of them want to use the most advantageous possibility. Recently travelling by planes is very popular, especially in America. It is quite cheap and very fast. And the current offer from airways' side is also very interesting. But sometimes can the terminals cause the problems. There can be many people, little space and kind of chaos. Even in some special cases passengers have to stay there because of bad weather conditions or so, what is really unpleasant.

So some airways wanted to improve some terminals. So JetBlue wanted. Terminal 6, which is part of the biggest US airport of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York was out of duty for four years. It needed a change. Now it is completely different and modern. It includes more and better security elements. The new terminal features a 20-lane security checkpoint, the largest screening area as well as fully automated bag screening and wide open spaces to maximize efficiency of passenger flow. The new space is now connected to the landmark Trans World Airlines terminal, designed by architect Eero Saarinen, which was built in 1962 and closed in October 2001. This terminal was built in futuristic spirit and the connection of this historic and new one is really interesting and unique. It is predicted that this terminal will be quite busy because JetBlue expects approximately 250 flights daily.

But at first JetBlue will welcome an invited group of more than 1,000 frequent fliers to try whether everything is going alright. It will be kind of simulation, while these people will be handed a list of details about their simulated flight, including even the pseudonym.
This terminal is now very large and besides various recesses it includes also huge "Marketplace" in the middle of it. This place is wide open space with many airport "restaurants" and kiosks which offer the possibility for passengers to eat and lounge. There are also several stores with clothing, books, souvenirs as well as rest rooms and free wireless access. JetBlue is already prepared to install touch-screen food orders to the gates.

Other advantage, or thing to meet the passengers, is rubber floor in security space. This solution is antiskid and it is not as cold as tile for example, and mainly it is quite comfortable for shoeless feet. Behind this zone there are several benches you can use for taking your socks and shoes back. The parts of this terminal are also new x-ray machines which are more effectual and faster than metal detectors, so that is the reason why there are twice as many x-rays than metal detectors.

I have never been to JFK Airport or even to this terminal, but in the picture it seems truly huge and well managed. And probably stay at this terminal, Terminal 6, could be quite pleasant and maybe also good experience. You have to judge it by yourselves!

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: JetBlue pripravuje nový terminál po 11. septembri na letisku J. F. Kennedyho by Radka Konkolova

Ľudia využívajú všetky spôsoby dopravy, aby sa dostali tam, kam potrebujú. Všetci z nich chcú využívať najvýhodnejšiu možnosť. V poslednom čase je cestovanie lietadlami veľmi obľúbené, zvlášť v Amerike. Je to pomerne lacné a veľmi rýchle. A súčasné ponuky zo strán aerolínií sú tiež veľmi zaujímavé. Ale niekedy môžu terminály spôsobiť isté problémy. Môže tam byť množstvo ľudí, málo miesta a určitý druh chaosu. Dokonca v niektorých špeciálnych prípadoch tam musia pasažieri zostať napríklad kvôli zlým poveternostným podmienkam alebo podobne, čo je dosť nepríjemné.

Takže niektoré aerolínie chceli niektoré svoje terminály vylepšiť. Tak ako aj JetBlue. Terminal 6, ktorý je súčasťou najväčšieho letiska v Spojených štátoch, Medzinárodného letiska Johna F. Kennedyho v New Yorku, bolo počas štyroch rokov mimo prevádzky. Potrebovalo totiž zmenu. A táto zmena stála 743 amerických dolárov. Teraz je terminál úplne iný a moderný. Obsahuje viac a lepšie bezpečnostné prvky. Nachádza sa v ňom 20 radový bezpečnostný kontrolný bod, najpriestrannejšia kontrolná zóna rovnako ako plne automatizovaná kontrola tašiek a široký otvorený priestor, ktorý má zvýšiť efektivitu návalu pasažierov. Nové priestory sú teraz spojené s pamätným terminálom TWA, ktorý bol navrhnutý architektom Eerom Saarinenom a ktorý bol postavený v roku 1962 a zatvorený v októbri 2001. Tento (starý) terminál bol postavený vo futuristickom duchu a spojenie tohto starého s novým je naozaj zaujímavé a jedinečné. Predpokladá sa, že tento terminál bude dosť vyťažený, keďže JetBlue očakáva približne 250 príletov a odletov denne.

Ale najskôr JetBlue privíta pozvanú skupinu asi 1 000 najčastejšie cestujúcich ľudí, aby vyskúšala, že všetko je tak, ako má byť. Bude to taká simulácia, keďže títo ľudia dostanú zoznam s podrobnosťami o ich simulačnom lete dokonca aj so pseudonymami.

Tento terminál je teraz veľmi priestranný a okrem rôznych zákutí sa tam nachádza aj obrovské „trhové námestie“ priamo v strede. Toto miesto je obrovský otvorený priestor s množstvom letiskových „reštaurácií“ a stánkov, ktoré pasažierom ponúkajú možnosť najesť sa a oddýchnuť si. Taktiež sa tam nachádza niekoľko obchodíkov s oblečením, knihami, suvenírmi rovnako ako toalety a voľný bezdrôtový prístup. JetBlue je dokonca pripravená inštalovať k bránam dotykové objednávače jedla.

Ďalšou výhodou, ale vecou, ktorou sa snažili vyjsť pasažierom v ústrety, je gumená podlaha v bezpečnostnej zóne. Toto riešenie je protišmykové a nie je také studené ako napríklad kachličky, a hlavne, je to celkom pohodlné pre bosé nohy. Za touto zónou sa nachádza niekoľko lavičiek, kde si môžete znovu obuť ponožky a topánky. Súčasťou tohto terminálu sú taktiež nové röntgeny, ktoré sú omnoho viac efektívnejšie a pracujú rýchlejšie ako detektory kovov, preto ich je tu dvakrát viac ako detektorov kovov.

Nikdy som síce nebola na letisku JFK alebo dokonca na tomto termináli, ale na obrázku to vyzerá, že je to naozaj obrovské a dobre riešené. A pravdepodobne „pobyt“ na tomto termináli, Termináli 6, by mohol byť celkom príjemný a možno tiež dobrou skúsenosťou. Ale to už musíte posúdiť sami...

Expensive vacations by Romana Otockova

The European summer vacation just isn't what it used to be. With economies stagnating and inflation in the euro zone at about 4 percent, people are cutting the length of their holiday stay, vacationing close by, and in some cases, just staying home. The deepening economic malaise has made many wary of splurging on expensive breaks. And would-be travelers have been hit by soaring costs in Europe for food, road trips and air travel — in short, just about everything needed for a successful holiday.
Many of would-be travelers decided to stay at home for holidays and planned alternative program. Parisians have very good imitation of summer beach on the bank of the Seine. Women in bikinis, ice cream stands almost everywhere and DJ spinning summer tunes – nearly perfect compensation of real holiday. But the atmosphere, hot weather and similar things cannot replace the real hot summer vacation by the sea.
Many of people have to work also through August to save some money and go away. Some European leaders also have shown restraint so as not to shock their countrymen with scenes of living it up during the economic downturn. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown opted for a quiet holiday in the countryside. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, nicknamed the "bling-bling president" for his penchant for borrowing private jets and yachts, took an ordinary airline flight to his wife Carla's Mediterranean villa.
Doubling the cost of everything made problems to many of European people, but also to these, who are from beyond the Pacific. Vacation is perfect time for relax, release and rest, and for those who cannot afford it its really bad situation. We can only hope, the situation will get better.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Drahé dovolenky by Romana Otockova

Európska letná dovolenka už nie to, čo kedysi bývalo. Pri ekonomickej stagnácii a inflácii v eurozóne okolo štyroch percent si ľudia skracujú dĺžku svojich pobytov na dovolenkách, vzdialenosť dovolenkovej lokality a v niektorých prípadoch dokonca zostávajú doma. Prehlbovanie ekonomickej nespokojnosti spôsobilo ostražitosť pri míňaní na drahé dovolenky. Potencionálni cestovatelia boli zasiahnutí rýchlo stúpajúcimi cenami potravín, cestných výletov a leteckej dopravy – v skratke všetkým, čo je potrebné pre úspešnú dovolenku.
Mnohí z potencionálnych cestovateľov sa rozhodli zostať cez prázdniny doma a naplánovali si alternatívny program. Parížania majú veľmi dobrú imitáciu letnej pláže na brehu Seiny. Ženy v bikinách, stánky so zmrzlinou takmer všade, DJ púšťajúci letné hity – takmer perfektná kompenzácia skutočných prázdnin. Ale atmosféra, horúce počasie a podobné veci nemôžu nahradiť skutočnú horúcu dovolenku pri mori.
Mnoho ľudí ja taktiež počas prázdnin nútených pracovať, aby si ušetrili nejaké peniaze a mohli si užiť dovolenku. Európski politickí lídri taktiž prejavili zdržanlivosť, aby nešokovali svojich krajanov scénami kde si užívajú počas ekonomického poklesu. Britský premiér Gordon Brown sa rozhodol pre tiché prázdniny v prírode. Francúzsky prezident Nicola Sarkozy, ktorý je známy svojím požičiavaním si súkromných jácht a lietadiel, si vzal obyčajný let do vily jeho ženy Carly pri Stredozemnom mori.
Dvojnásobné ceny všetkého spôsobili problémy mnohým ľuďom z Európy, ale aj tým, ktorí su spoza Atlantiku. Dovolenka je skvelé miesto na relax, uvoľnenie a odpočinok a pre tých, ktorí si to nemôžu dovoliť je to skutočne zlá situácia. Môžme len dúfať, že sa zlepší.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: With airlines economizing pilots are put under pressure by Zuzana Zelenakova

Being the pilot itself and having responsibility for hundreds of people aboard the plane is stressing enough, but these days it seems the airlines eager to cut costs are taking it to another level. In order to save some money airlines have reduced the amount of spare fuel on airplanes, which off course is making pilots uneasy. Less fuel means that in case of delayed landing or bad weather conditions pilots will be forced to emergency landing on some nearby airport. With insufficient amount of fuel pilots are put under pressure, and airlines statements to its employees are only contributing to this. Take for example Continental Airlines bulletin saying: “Adding fuel indiscriminately without critical thinking ultimately reduces profit sharing and possibly pension funding.” Airlines say planes remain safe, because they carry the amount of fuel required by the Federal Aviation Administration. Spare fuel aboard the plane should be enough to reach the destination and still be able to fly for about 45 minutes more. So far the inspections haven´t reported the violations to this rule. “All that carriers have done is ask pilots to justify when they want to have (fuel) beyond what is required by FAA,” said David Castelveter of the Air Transport Association, which represents U.S. airlines. The another argument is that less fuel equals less weight which enables planes to fly higher and burn less fuel, and also to carry more passengers or cargo. On the other hand there are pilots reports. Several months ago for example, captain of Boeing 747 has come across strong headwinds while crossing the Atlantic on his way to John F. Kennedy international Airport in New York and subsequently reported low amount of fuel. He wanted to stop in order to refuel but after consulting his operations manager who told him the fuel level was sufficient he went on. After the arrival at the Kennedy Airport he said that the plane had so little fuel that in case of any delay in landing “I would have to declare a fuel emergency.” And there are more we might say safety risk cases similar to this one reported by pilots.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Letecké spoločnosti šetria, piloti sú pod tlakom by Zuzana Zelenakova

Povolanie pilota samo o sebe a takisto zodpovednosť za stovky ľudí na palube lietadla je dostatočne stresujúce, no zdá sa, že v poslednom čase dávajú spoločnosti, ktoré sa urputne snažia šetriť, tomuto slovu úplne nový rozmer. S cieľom ušetriť letecké spoločnosti znížili rezervnú zásobu paliva na palube svojich lietadiel, čo sa samozrejme neveľmi pozdáva pilotom. Menej paliva znamená, že v prípade meškania či zlého počasia, by boli piloti nútení núdzovo pristáť na najbližšom letisku. Piloti sa tak dostávajú pod tlak a vyhlásenia niektorých spoločností zamerané na svojich zamestnancov sú len ďalšou kvapkou. Napríklad oznam, ktorý vydala spoločnosť Continental Airlines hlása: „Tankovať palivo neuvážene môže v konečnom dôsledku viesť ku zníženiu účasti na zisku a takisto k možnému zníženiu financovania dôchodkov.“ Letecké spoločnosti tvrdia, že lietadlá sú naďalej bezpečné, pretože nesú množstvo paliva, ktoré spĺňa normy amerického Federálneho leteckého úradu (Federal Aviation Administration – FAA). Palivo na palube by malo stačiť na to, aby lietadlo doletelo do cieľa a takisto aby bolo schopné letieť ešte 45 minút navyše. Doposiaľ inšpekcie nehlásili porušenie tohto pravidla. „Prepravcovia urobili len to, že požiadali pilotov, aby odôvodnili množstvo paliva, ktoré prekračuje normy stanovené FAA,“ povedal David Castelveter z Asociácie leteckej prepravy, ktorá zastupuje aerolinky Spojených štátov. Ďalším argumentom je fakt, že menej paliva rovná sa menšia váha, ktorá umožňuje, aby lietadlo letelo vyššie a aby spaľovalo menej paliva, takisto je potom možné prepraviť viac cestujúcich aj nákladu. Na druhej strane sú tu znepokojivé správy od samotných pilotov. Pred niekoľkými mesiacmi napríklad narazil pilot Boeingu 747, ktorý mal namierené na medzinárodné letisko Johna F. Kennedyho v New Yorku, na silný nárazový vietor pri prelete ponad Atlantik a následne nahlásil nízku hladinu paliva. Chcel pristáť aby dotankoval, no po konzultácii s manažérom letovej prevádzky, ktorý mu povedal, že paliva je dosť, musel pokračovať. Po pristátí na Kennedyho letisku povedal, že paliva bolo tak málo, že v prípade akéhokoľvek meškania „by som musel vyhlásiť palivovú pohotovosť.“ Takýchto prípadov, ktoré nesú bezpečnostné riziko, nahlásili piloti už viac.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Avion, patnici, čad i evakuacija by Zivka Deleva

Leto i letni odmori. Ima samo nekolku luge koi bi sakale da gi pominat nivnite odmori doma gledajki televizija, i pokraj toa što poznavam nekoi od niv sepak poveke se onie koi sakaat da izlezat nekade. Da vidat i posetat nekoi mesta koi dosega ne gi videle, da posetat nekoi stranski državi, da plivaat i sončaat na stranski plaži, nekade vo Hrvatska ili Grcija, da pravat nešto što od nekoja pričina ne može da go napravat doma. Osven mislenjeto za destinacijata, ima mnogu drugi važni raboti na koi treba da se misli. Na primer, što treba da zememe so nas, kolku pari treba da promenime, i se razbira kako da stigneme tamu. Familiite ili pogolemite grupi obično patuvaat so avtomobil, i navistina imaše takvi vreminja koga toa beše prednost. Ne samo poradi konečnata cena na transportot, no i poradi sopstvenoto tempo na patuvanje. Osobeno patuvanje so deca može da bide pomalku komplicirano, zatoa što nikogaš ne znaeš koga ke prisakaat da odat da močkaat ili nešto slično. No koga ne ste so deca, i ti i tvojot dečko bi sakale da stignete nekade što e možno pobrzo, podobro e da najdete krilja. Letanjeto e poveke od voobičaeno ovie denovi i osven stravot što može da go počuvstvuvate i nekoi stomačni problemi, bi rekla deka toa e najdobriot način na patuvanje. Sé što treba da napravite e da ne mislite na site katastrofi koi se slučile.

Se sekavam dobro - prviot pat koga letav so avion. Bev tolku nervozna i možev da se spravam so mojot strav so site patnici vo avionot. Site tie užasni sliki od vesnicite za avionskite nesreki i iljadnicite zaginati postojano mi bea vo pametot. Duri i mislev na site tie itni sletuvanja koi ne sekogaš završile srekno, site tie evakuacii itn. Navistina bev vo panika. Za sreka, posle dva časa nie uspešno sletavme na aerodromot Stensted vo London. No nekoi luge nemaat takva sreka i za vreme na nivnite letovi se pojavuvaat nekoi problemi. Isto kako so letot poln so patnici koi letaa kon Honolulu vo vtornikot. Samo zamislete sedite na vašeto sedište i tolku ste vozbudeni za vašeto patuvanje, što ne možete da napravite ništo, samo razmisluvate na taa ubava plaža koja ve čeka vas i za čistata sina morska voda. Ednostavno ne možete da dočekate da sletate vo Honolulu. Koga vašiot avion konečno odleta, vie ke počnete da gi broite minutite duri ne stignete. No što se slučuva? Ne ste poveke od eden čas vo vozduh i kapetanot go vraka avionot nazad na aerodromot. "Hej! Zošto? Što se sluči?" sakate da vreskate. No vednaš štom ke doznaete deka nekoga osetil čad vo kabinata, ne mislite poveke na plažata i moreto. Mislite na 188te patnici koi patuvaat so vas, mislite na vašata familija i prijateli. I pokraj toa što ne znaete što točno se slučuva se tresete. Za sreka, ovoj pat ne se sluči nikakva tragična nesreka, site patnici se evakuirani, nikoj ne e povreden, osven nekoi modrici. I pokraj toa što ne e najden nikakov znak od ogan vo avionot, celiot slučaj e pod istraga. Kamo site avionski nesreki da imaat vakov kraj.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Delta Air ofrecerá el acceso WiFi en los vuelos nacionales by Veronika Pellerova

Hace pocos años no había ninguna posibilidad de llevar un móvil encendido o un notebook a bordo del avión. Ahora esto cambia. Las aerolíneas y su administración quieren cumplir los deseos de sus pasajeros, entonces decidieron introducir la conexión WiFi en toda su flota de vuelos nacionales.

Una de las aerolíneas americanas vino con esta idea brillante porque sus clientes son muy a menudo hombres de negocio y otras personas importantes que darían la bienvenida a aquella posibilidad inmediatamente. Sobre todo es interesante cuando la posibilidad tiene el precio bastante interesante. Pienso que Delta Air lo quiere introducir no sólo debido a la demanda de los pasajeros, sino también porque tiene algunos problemas financieros, como la mayoría de otras aerolíneas. Cada uno sabe que estos problemas tienen su base en altos precios de petróleo. Entonces las empresas tienen que pensar en algunas soluciones que deberían ayudarles a adquirir más dinero para mantener los vuelos en intervalos ordinarios. Y hoy en día parece que será muy difícil, sobre todo para empresas de bajo coste. Como compiten entre sí tienen que usar sus mejores ideas para convencer a pasajeros potenciales de volar con su aerolínea.

Delta Air Lines ofrecerá wifi en toda su flota de vuelos nacionales de más de 330 aviones. El acceso a la Red tendrá un coste de 9,95 dólares en los vuelos de tres horas o menos y de 12,95 en los trayectos más largos. Creo que este precio es accesible mientras usted puede ser conectado durante todo el vuelo. Delta espera que el servicio esté disponible en todos sus vuelos nacionales a partir del verano de 2009.

Aquí puede ver que cada aerolínea quiere hacer viajes más cómodos. Delta Air ofrece la conexión relativamente barata al contrario con JetBlue que ofrece el equipo "ecológico" incluyendo una almohada sin alérgeno y una manta. ¡No es fácil porque hay competición significativa en el mercado!
