13. With my feet on the ground February 22, 2008 Orson Welles once said that there are only two emotions on a plane: boredom and terror. He was wrong.

I looked out over the wing. The sky was heavy with clouds, broken only by tiny shafts of gold and green. I thought of what I was missing - 36,000 feet below was Cambodia, shingled with Buddhist stupas and pagodas. I wanted to see the land I was flying over. I wanted to get out. Months later, clam...

Fixing the rate is usually not the best choice for people wanting to lower their rate but is the right choice for people wanting to gain certainty and security of expend...

December 02, 2006 One of the major reasons why so many travelers fly across Dubai's airspace is the duty free goods they can buy from its international airport.
