Airlines safe routes
As Israelis we always ask ourselves; is this route a safe route to fly? what happens in case of emergency landing?
Well, I dont have the answers to what may happen in case you land on the lap of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad… though as a professional travel agent I could reccomend you which airlines are safer in respect to their routes flying via Europe to Asia.
Please note, that my advise has nothing to do with the safety of the aircraft, nor last minute and Force Majeure cases where airlines must change their routes.
* KLM & Air France are the ones mostly known for last minute changes of routes and they are NOT obliged to advise in advance.
Have a safe and easy flight:
| Airline | Code | Japan | HongKong | China | Philippines | India | Thailand | Korea | Singapore |
| Lufthansa | LH | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE |
| Swiss | LX | SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | |||
| AirFrance | AF | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE |
| British | BA | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | ||
| KLM | KL | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE |
| Turkish | TK | SAFE | NOT SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE | |
| Austrian | OS | SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | |||
| Alitalia | AZ | SAFE | SAFE | NOT SAFE | NOT SAFE | ||||
| ELAL | LY | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE | SAFE |
NOT SAFE = Above Arab Countries

No 2 doors are the same - the amazing San Gimignano - Italy
After a while I realized the little man whom I gave my camera to was talking specific pictures; he has noticed that the doors to the houses and shops of San Gimignano were not the same; i.e. each door was different, and he took pictures of the doors !!!
It has amazed me what children observe, ofcourse it made me take almost 100 pictures of different doors around the small city - amazing experience.
These are only a sample of the 1000 doors of San Gimignano…
