Air travel makes things quicker but can also very plain frustrating at the same time, to get from one to another without having to drag yourself through the world’s longest queues, lost luggage, endless security checks, flight delays and cancellations, … you know how it can get, but that is only the tiny tip of the iceberg.

No Emergencies allowed
