[quote]So basically, airlines say, why take the risk?[/quote] Air New Zealand used to run flightseeing trips from Christchurch down over Antarctica. Until 1979 when one of the planes slammed into Mt. Erebus and killed 257 people. That was the last time that an airline went down that way. I...

re: What are you favorite Westerns?

Posted by Tigris on 7/19/24 at 7:03 pm
[quote]Viggo Mortensen selects his favorite westerns from the Criterion Collection[/quote] That was good. I like that his most modern pick was from 1971. He and Ed Harris did a great job making Appaloosa (2008) which is terribly underappreciated. The shootout scene is awesome and a jab at ...

re: What airline do you prefer?

Posted by Tigris on 7/16/24 at 7:09 pm
Honestly - whatever airline has the best fare for a good route. They will all screw you at some point. For the US I like Delta, followed by Southwest. And I avoid American at a large premium. For international - almost completely depends on fare. In the past it was business, now it's mo...
