A huge mountain on one end, a thousand meter drop on the other. And it's at 2900 meters elevation, so you don't exactly have full power. Lukla Airport is a small airport in the Town of Lukla in eastern Nepal. In January 2008, the government of Nepal announced that the airport would be renamed in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary[1], the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, who passed away on January 11, 2008. The airport is quite popular as Lukla is the place where most people start their trek to climb Mount Everest.

What is the Safest Seat in an Airplane
A question often asked by anxious airplane passengers is this: What is the safest seat in an airplane? The answer: none. Because accidents can erupt at any spot within the aircraft.Some people are of the opinion that the nearer one is seated to an emergency exitthe safer one is. Sadlythat is not absolutely true. A fire can start near the emergency exit as in any place within the plane. And if the emergency exit is jammedthen the person sitting nearest it is in as much of the same fix as the one sitting farthest from it.Regardless of where the passenger is seated inside the aircraftthe risks to one’s safety is greatly minimized by one thing above all else: by being alert and aware of one’s surroundings.Being alert means being watchful and attentive. Note the location of all exits. Listen to all pre-flight and in-flight instructions. Do not drink too much. Use common sense and try not to do anything that will be detrimental to your own safetyas well as to that of otherssuch as having too many or too heavy carry-on luggagespilling hot drinksbeing careless with pointed objects or things with sharp edgesand the like. Againuse common sense.Airplane accidents are raredespite the fears and misgivings surrounding air travel. But if one does occur during the flightit is very important for the passenger to stay calm and not to panic. Fear is a highly contagious disease. Many casualties in accidentseven those that happened on landcould have been prevented had the panic been contained. Thusin case of an accidenttake a deep breathkeep the tone of voice down and follow the line.There is no such thing as the safest seat in the plane. But any passenger can always make his or hers the safest seat if he or she chooses towherever he or she is seated. Creating the sense of safety within one’s selfafter allis a mind game.
The Worst Airlines in the World
02:29 0 commentsAir travel can be a hassle. Delays, bad service, bad food, and cancellations can make you shudder at the thought of even getting on a plane. While there are few good airlines out there, the majority are average and there are just some that should just be avoided:
1.Air CanadaDespite spending a lot of money to upgrade their fleet, Air Canada is still awful. Old planes with one big movie screen still dominate their fleet. The food tastes like it was cooked a few years ago and the flight attendants are surly. There are groups all over the web dedicated to highlighting how bad Air Canada can. The facebook group “I’d rather walk than fly Air Canada” has 1,900 members.
2.American AirlinesIt’s canceling flights, cutting routes, firing employees, and charging you more money for fewer services. American has had a bad reputation for awhile and recent changes in their service will have you wishing that you took any other mode of transportation.
3.Philippines AirlinesOld planes make this airline one to avoid. The service is average and the planes don’t have personal screens. They look old and they feel old. You’ll barely see the movie screen while you shift around in seats older than the subtitled movie you’re watching. While the seats can be cheap, it’s an awful ride.
4.Air China/China EasternChinese airlines have a bad reputation among frequent fliers. I know frequent fliers who will pay triple the price to avoid one of these airlines. Old planes, poor service, and bad maintenance make flying these planes risky. They have awful service records and frequent problems. You can fly on them for cheap but why risk it?
5.Gulf AirIts flights may be cheap but you get what you pay for.Flights are frequently delayed or canceled without reason, the meals are poor, and the staff is unfriendly. Moreover, you won’t be compensated for any lost time and the staff will do nothing to accommodate you. In fact, they probably could care less. Gulf Air needs to take some lessons from its neighbor Emirates and learn what flying is all about.
6. US AirwaysUS Airways is ranked as having some of the worst service out of any American carrier. US Airways is now charging you for water and snacks. That’s fine and expected on a low cost carrier but not when you are still paying a full fare. Planes are late or delayed, the staff is unfriendly (you’d be too if you made what they made), and meals no longer exists. Now they’re raising fares and cutting routes too.
