Re: Norse Atlantic Airways News and Discussion - 2023

Why doesn't Norse fly domestic? Like OSL-TOS to fill the gap left by Flyr Because Flyr (and, to some extent, Wizzair) showed that there isn't room in the market in Norway for another airline to fly domestic trunk routes like OSL-TOS - the market can support just 2 main players (SAS and Norwegian) i...

I do not have the worst since I enjoy all airports when transit, but the new terminal in Oslo Gardermoen has become amazing to transit.

From my point of view it is very difficult to spread wings between two giant hubs like Rome and Istanbul. Aegean has to submit to reality and be regional.

Re: "Democracy must be learned by every generation"

I noticed lately that my son who is a student of political sciences shows a lot of sympathy for historical leaders such as Mussolini and Stalin. I ask myself what would be the reason knowing that he grew up with democratic values.

Re: Best vacation you’ve ever been on?

Rio de Janeiro 1989. I traveled from EZE aboard a DC-10 Eastern airlines. I spent a month among beautiful beaches, splendid clubs, beautiful girls, good food and caipirinha.

Re: Qatar Airways CEO threatens withdrawal from OneWorld Alliance

I don't think that such an important, rich and excellent airline I agree. By any means the best business class in the world (the Qsuite). So much so that QR's first class has by far become redundant.

Re: Why doesn't the United States make both English and Spanish as official languages?

Studies show a clear advantage for bilingual children, which researchers have explained by the greater cognitive flexibility of children who are used to moving from one system of symbols to another. It is a kind of gymnastics for the brain that would increase its performance.

Also, that only lists primary languages. I'm sure there is a proportion of that 231,122,908 number that also speaks a second language, for example: Spanish. And, for example... English. Of course after english! Which still makes it quite a minority language, not a majority language. Well you know w...
