Europe is packed with amazing locations to visit, but here are a few of our favourites. This isn’t meant to be an exhaustive guide to each city, but it should give you a quick idea of what’s available, and why each of these great cities is worth a visit if you get the chance (and if you don’t have the chance, you should make it!).

I must say that it has been very busy week in aviation and it still hasn’t ended. Besides Icelandic volcano eruption, there was also an eruption in Papua New Guinea followed by a strike of Lufthansa’s subsidiary Germanwings – C’mon, I can’t even write this posts so quickly to cover everything! The latest news for upcoming weekend – ATC strike in Italy on Saturday, 6th September.
The strike could affect every single airport in Italy but according to Italian law, intercontinental and inbound flights will not be affected. It will take place between 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. (Central European Summer Time) so many flight delays and cancellations are expected during a whole afternoon.
The pilots union of Lufthansa has announced a strike at Frankfurt Airport for today from 5 p.m. till 11 p.m. local time. Short and medium haul flights departing and arriving at Frankfurt/Main will be affected.
A list of all cancelled flights can be found here.

In fact, it’s nothing extraordinary within the aviation industry and it’s called a codeshare agreement or simply just codeshare. Let me tell you what benefits it brings you and what you should be aware of.

An interesting situation happened to me last week when I visited a printing office to pick up our latest posters for a purposes of our visit in Amsterdam. There was a young woman named Veronika standing next to me and when she spotted the poster she began asking me about the details of our project. It happened to me for the first time so I was very impressed by her interest and excitedly began talking.
