I'm going to say timing. December 2000 is just before the 9/11 financial crash, which killed off most of the worlds 747-200 fleet. Let's add (relatively) low fuel prices to the list. There was an increase post 9/11, but probably not enough to justify something like this when the above is taken into...
Jump to postI flew LAX-AMS a few days ago. Would I have preferred not wear the mask for ten hours? Sure. Was it that big of a deal? No. I honestly don't understand the anti-mask mania: it's a mild inconvenience at best, and the health benefits are well documented.

Why not? In Europe this is completely normal and has been for a long time. I remember travelling on Varig between Amsterdam and Paris in 1995. Quite a few non European airlines offer intra European flights, which are comparable to domestic flights in the United States. No problem whatsoever. That w...

Does the 100% foreign ownership limit this new airline to only operate within Brazil or will it be able to fly Brazil-intl? It depends, but the vast majority of bilateral air services agreements have ownership and control requirements. If the airline is registered in Brazil (as opposed to UX operat...
Jump to postIt is quite shocking how badly connected Yerevan is to Europe. Not even flights with Lufthansa (!) or Swiss.

[ The 2 AF A320s are based in the Caribbean, specifically at Point-a-Pitre (PTP), which is a D.O.M of France. Technically the flight is being flown to the U.S., from France - just not from Europe.

Jump to postI'd recommend Uber or Lyft. Unlike the cabbies, they can see where you're going before they pick you up and can pass on the ride if they don't want to take you such a short distance.
