The final purchase prices paid by airlines for additions to their fleets are among the commercial aviation industry's most closely guarded secrets. The big two manufacturers, Airbus and Boeing, do publish annual lists of what are called book prices, but it's no secret that no carriers end up paying these published numbers.

The gemlike Church of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is known to Petersburgers as the Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood - or even just the Church on the Blood - as it marks the spot where Czer Alexander II was fatally wounded in an assassination attempt on March 1, 1881. It was co-designed by Alfred Parland, a Scottish-German architect, and Archimandrite Ignaty, who presided over the Russian Orthodox Church at the time.

Although historic Route 66, from 1926 to 1985 the USA's "Mother Road," its small-r route is still an iconic road trip which stretches from Chicago to Los Angeles, covering a total distance of 2,448 miles long. Ever since I can remember, my biggest dream was to travel this route, and I recently did. My journey began in Chicago - the third largest city in the United States. Before I set off on the legendary Route 66, I spent a fantastic week exploring the city, an international

When Robert Herbst's nonstop flight from New York to Raleigh, North Carolina, turned into a one-stop, he got worried. When American Airlines assured him he could make a connection at Washington's Reagan National Airport in just 30 minutes, he got very worried.

Herbst, a wellness expert from Westchester, New York, is one of a growing number of minimum connection time skeptics.

Though it is often vaguely described as stretching from anywhere just north of Brisbane to Fraser Island, the essential Sunshine Coast of Queensland runs between Caloundra in the south to Noosa in the north. Each of the small towns along the way, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Coolum Beach, Peregian Beach, has its own individuality. But perhaps the most upmarket and attractive is Noosa Heads, situated on a peninsula bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and north and Lake Weyba to the west. Across

South Africa's capital is positively afroth these days in creativity and the arts, and one of its premier epicentres is Maboneng Precinct. Centred on Fox and Kruger Streets, a quick cab ride east from Johannesburg's Sandton business district and overlapping Jeppestown, another creative neighbourhood, this once shabby, no-go inner-city district has since the middle of the last decade been reinvigorated and made "cool" by artists, hipsters, and entrepreneurs, à la Brooklyn's Williamsburg,

One of the downsides of tourism development, say critics, is its impact on the environment, particularly natural habitats.

On a recent trip to the Dominican Republic’s premier reso

We all identify Agra with the Taj Mahal. But this city of 1.6 million in Uttar Pradesh state noted for its monumental buildings of 16th and 17th century when it was the capital of the Muslim Mughal (aka Mogul) Empire is far more than that.
