A Kafkaesque airport

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

It happens to “loose” his luggage, to get stress from flight delays, etc. Unfortunately, we all (or almost) had to suffer from our plane trips.

But, for sure, we didn’t experience the cavalry, the humiliation and the despair that did travelers from Franz Kafka airport.
Don’t expect they take care of you, to pass the control without any problem, to find your gate, neither to fly… Don’t put a feet in this airport!!!

This warning is not in vain, as this airport is number 1 in the ranking of the worst airports in the world, according to The Onion News Network.

Take a look at this video; travelers and staff speak for themselves!

But no worries, if you need to get Paha ( which is a wonderful city) for business or personal reasons, there are other “real” airports and less Kafkaesque.

Ryanir will charge us for a wee

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Can you imagine giving some coins for going to the bathroom in a plane? This is the latest Ryanair’s measure. They are considering the fact of charging passengers 1 pound to have a wee.

According to Michael O’leary, CEO of the Irish company, everyone will be able to go the bathroom since no one travels without any coins in their wallet. Did it happen to you already to have only your credit card with you and no coins in the wallet? Did they think about people having some problem?

All of that is supposed to be for the reason of the crisis. Ryanair, like all other airlines, has suffered of the increase of fuel where as they had planned to bring more clients with prices even more attractive.

What will be the next measure they will find in order to save some pounds and to make us thinking their flights tickets are cheap. The only possibility would be charging us according the amount of air breathed in their planes!

US airways flight 1549: an emergency landing

By Los Angeles Times

On the 15th of January 2009, the flight 1549, Airbus A320 takes off at 3h26pm from New York airport. 150 passengers are on board. Two minutes after taking off, while it was flying over the Bronx, the pilot reports that some swans are trapped in the jets. Passengers said they felt an increase of power; they saw flames and smelt a fuel odor. The airport of Teterboro, in the suburb of New York, is visible and the pilot decides to land. But, a little bit after, while he was flying over Manhattan, the plane goes down and manages to land to land on the water without big damages. The doors are open and passengers can go out though. The back of the plane is submerged, going out through this part is, though, impossible. Passengers gather on the wings and on the slices, anticipated in case of need of evacuation, which had become rafts.
Coast guard arrived fast and everyone was drained off safe.
