That's dirt cheap. I'll keep that in mind when I visit istanbul and take advantage of that steal.

I am told Etihad does financing on plane tickets to UAE cities. Which is good and bad, cause some middle easterns will take advantage of that the minute they'll find out, they'll be like ants going for a dropped bread crumb and refuse to pay monthly payments. Especially Paki's :angry:

referring to WOW airlines?

They started flying out of Newark, never have I found them fly for anywhere near their advertised prices. I was excited when they announced Newark as a new destination, but never found any good deals with them yet.
Probably Icelandair. They are great but on the verge of bankruptcy.
Haven't they been for a while now, :doe: ?

Yea, WOW airlines. They just announced flights from Detroit to Iceland.

It's just like all those other low cost airlines. The only way to get the advertised price is to fly only with a backpack and not chose your seats. It's not cheaper than other airlines if you fly with a carryon and pay to chose seats...but it's like $100/way, so for $400 round trip we both could fly there and check it out for a few days. Would be a fun adventure.

No worse than any other discount airline. I've never flown a discount airline, so I'm curious to try it just once.

They seem to come in 2 types. The typical Scandinavian blonde and the black-haired ones like Bjork.

Actually, all Scandinavian womenz are :jimp:

Recently seen this wildly painted livery on an airplane. Looked like it had a tribal design.

Turns out its a TAP airplane, pretty cool design advertising their stop over program which is fairly moderately new. You could stop for a 3-5 days in Lisbon or Porto with no extra charge.

When I was flying back from Istanbul, I stopped by Copenhagen for layover (first time ever in the scandinavia), girls are just :jizz:

Also as I was flying to DC, I had a nice blonde (prob in her late 30's) that sat next to me, but she's :fuckyeah: hot. She's almost as tall as me.

I need to go there one day. I believe couple weeks ago, I was watching Anthony Bourdain with family, there was an episode of Lisbon, it kinda reminded me of being in Greece and some parts of Turkey.

Speaking of Icelandair, I just got this. Gift from a friend who works for the airline.

Don't know why, but I love amenity kits. Have a little collection.
