It’s been rough flying from point A to B and having to deal with so many airlines with their ‘nickle & diming,’ charging for almost everything we used to get for the price of a ticket – even a discounted advanced ticket. Delta cracking down on the size of carry-on’s and Air Asia making announcement on its flight “no eating any food you brought onboard with you.” There goes the brown bag down the tubes. Once you reach your destination life gets better and cheaper- – even flying on Air Asia. Then, using public transportation – trains, buses even a ferry – – like in Istanbul where you get a lot more for the USD$ than almost anywhere in Europe, especially the UK & Scotland too. Asia is wide open like Malaysia where you get your $bucks worth compared to the Malay Ringitt and you can have a great time in Penang and Malay Borneo. Michael Zullo, NYC
