One of the interesting data points not mentioned is these routes usually use larger aircraft like B747 (BA) and A380 (QF, EK). So the main reason why they are so profitable is primarily down to passenger numbers more than anything else.

In my experience inter-continental flights to and from the U.K. are often a lot cheaper than from mainland Europe. As an example, flying with Emirates to Dubai is often a few hundred euro cheaper from London that any other north and central

This is exactly it - the airline is responsible for returning you home if you are denied entry to a country. My wife used to work as an air stewardess, and one of her longer flights was a 16 hour non-stop flight from Dubai to Brazil. This i

Most, if not all, EU carriers (I assume including this one, but don’t speak German) have a limit of how long you can actually be outside your home country. After that period they either terminate your contract or withdraw the free EU roamin

No issues on my X250, everything worked out of the box with Fedora. Battery life under Linux compared to Windows 10 seems slightly better - I guess it’s because I’m using MATE, so it’s a less resource hungry DE.

I’m not exactly sure what point this article is trying to make, but as a regular eBay user, these are my biggest issues when using the platform. I’m based in the UK, so some of these may not apply for other locations. - Delivery times aren’

Maybe something like this will finally force Apple to start making their laptops more serviceable. After being an Apple user since 2006, I’ve just switched to a Thinkpad for my home machine. Compared to a MacBook Air, the X series is only 1

I find your choice of words here interesting. Why does the US need to “compete” with Russia and China? I don’t want to sound too much like a hippy, but is strenthening our militaries like this really the best long term goal?

When I started working from home last year, this was my biggest concern as I live in a one bedroom apartment so there isn’t space for multiple desks, and I use the same desktop PC for work and play. It turned out not to be a problem, as lon

If you can afford it, it’s a lot better to have too many people (although your case sounds a bit extreme) than too little. I’m working at a startup where we have too little, and we are rushing to get stuff done without really thinking it th

Yes... that's my point. I want a code sample, but I'm not judging you based on whether you have a GitHub profile or not.

Here in London my biggest concern is getting to the airport on time. Once I'm there I know that getting through security and to the gate is going to be roughly the same each time. I regularly take flights that only fly directly from Lu

If they can really do it for that price, that’s impressive. In London one of the tube lines is being extended by 3.2km and it will cost $1.6b (£1.2b): https://www.london.gov.uk//press-releases/mayoral/nle-tunn

My grandparents are farmers in part of Northern Europe where currently it’s dark from 11pm - 3am (it’s never truly dark though, and if you look North in the middle of the night it is distinctly brighter). Their sleeping patterns do strongly

One thing I’d love is a Markdown editor that has full integration with Google Drive, like how Draw.io does. Changes are automatically saved to Drive so everyone else on your team can see them instantly. Other team members can view and edit

As someone who has been in charge of recruiting developers, one of the hardest parts is deciding if someone is really any good. Your CV and who you’ve worked for doesn’t really say anything, even after chatting to you I don’t know whether t

I’d say the slowness of Ruby is really over exaggerated. For most web applications it’s good enough, and the speed of development (how fast you can ship) almost always outweighs any costs from it being slow. You can always replace the endpo

I wouldn’t say the issue is really the reputation, people read the paper because it’s literally stuffed in their face. When you are on a train for 30 minutes with no data or WiFi, there’s not much else to do. By circulation, the Standard an

I’m not sure if this is really compliant to that spec either. It states that error code should be returned when attempting to brew coffee - which means the BREW or POST method is used - but this is using the GET method.

Is there a way to pass the GDPR consent dialogue without giving them permission to do whatever they like with my data? I thought the purpose of the GDPR was to give users a choice as to whether their data is used?

How about if the node just shutdown after X period of no updates? It would be inconvenient for the admin and users specifically using that node, but would be a win for overall network security. It could still expose a vulnerability meaning

I had the same at Cineworld in Ireland a few years ago. I think at the time I was paying ~€15/mo and a single ticket was €8. At the time there were a few restrictions, you needed to pay more for 3D or IMAX, and you had to collect ticke

I get the bus everyday (working in Westminster) and there are plenty of other people in suits who do the same. Busses aren’t just for the poor. I get the bus as it provides the fastest route for getting to work (other than cycling). The tub
