    Last time I landed in Europe I thought I had taken the wrong plane. Middle East. Douglas Murray´s book "The strange death of Europe" is a good, and sad, read.

    ARAJET

    I feel so sad that it is never a new route to POP. The management of that airport should be fired for the lack of marketing skills.

    Exchange rate changes during Christmas/New Year - 8% more for my EUR than 2 weeks ago
