Travel Guides

Long flights are not environmental friendly, even on the contrary. Nevertheless, many people still fly, whether for touristsm, or for business.

How could we replace the long flights? For distances under 2000 km inside a continent we have some alternatives: travelling by car, or travelling by train. Nice, but not very relaxing, it lasts between 10 and 20 hours unfortunately. For longer intercontinental journeys is even worse for the competition, you can easily understand why.

It is very nice, interesting and even exciting to fly!

If you must fly, stay where the plane leads you at least for a week. Otherwise, it is pity for the ozone of our planet.

And supposing that someone found the magic solution for eliminating the flights. What would happen to the people working in the branch ( pilots, mechanics, ground personnel, flight attendants etc) ? No more flight attendant jobs for the rebel teenagers girls that wish to go far from home? I am sure, that the people serving on a long distance jet have something very special, they must be tough, strong, reliable, perfect teamplayers.

Mainly bad news, I am sorry. But this is the truth, and I think to be one of my duties to inform you correctly!

1. Lufthansa rose the prices of the tickets due to record oil prices. Other companies are preparing to do the same.

2. Avoid California, there are huge wood fires, and many of them are out of control. Thus will America maybe become more environmental aware.

3. Protect yourself from the bug bites, they are dangerous, and even lethal. In Greece and Turkey the Congo fever made already 40 victims.

4. Avoid Turkey: Three Germans were kidnapped by a Kurd organization, the PKK. Thus they try to force Germany making pressure against Ankara for the independence of Kurdistan. But the tourists have nothing to do with it, dear Kurd guys!
