Are JFK and SIN build on islands? As far as my knowledge goes you can drive your car to both airports. In my opinion islands can only be reached by ferry or airplane. When you connect the land by bridges to the mainland, it's no longer an island. Jump to post

AMS-BRU is an example of a route which is better served by train, and yet it's flown by KLM Cityhopper. A route which is also served by plane. Having a choice is nice. Why KLM still flies between AMS and BRU is beyond me, the train is just as fast and convenient. I took the train on this route a fe...

At velocities more than 5 times the speed of sound, you can reach the other side of the world in 3-4 hours without compromising on versatility, cost, or noise.
