Airline Seating Charts - Best Airplane Seats - SeatGuru. Lifestyle. We will never tire of the positive effects of nature. Its calming, soothing and inspiring influence will never go out of style. The more we rush, the more time we spend indoors staring at our screens and devices, the more urban our lifestyles become, the more we crave and need time away from it all. It has been amazing to follow the newest solutions to the old dilemmas: How to bring more green space to cities; how to reclaim underused urban land for recreational and other "green" uses; how to provide more and more people the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of spending time in nature. Lately, we have seen fantastic examples of how designers and architects, urban planners and citizens' organizations have accomplished both large and small-scale projects, from bringing a bit of greenery, and open space to otherwise bleak surroundings, to large-scale neighborhood-changing undertakings.

Central Gondar. An overview of the medieval city buildings. Gallery - World’s strangest spas. The world's most inspiring bookstores | Slide Show. W. Somerset Maugham called books “a refuge from almost all the miseries of life” — and as fun as travel can be, being far from home can also be exhausting, hectic and fraught with flashes of sweet misery. For literate travelers, a good bookstore is a sanctuary. What makes a bookstore beautiful? As their numbers dwindle in so many places, just having the doors open may qualify. Many of the shops in this slide show took over repurposed buildings whose previous tenants were once important local institutions like glove factories, theaters, friaries and grist mills.

All of them are brimming over with beauty of one kind or another — opulent architecture, quirky one-of-a-kind collections, unique ways of encouraging exploration, teetering stacks of mystery and chaos that reflect a community’s reading habits.

United Courier Systems. OBC team - Worldwide diplomatic couriers from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Cheap Flights by acting as a Courier for BA. Mostly correct so far. A number of airlines (including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic) offer 'fast track' courier services, mainly to large multi-nationals and shipping agents.

For a fee, the airline will guarantee the fastest possible route from A to B by using the next available flight. Cargo operations are typically complicated and beaurocratic, so this service relies on passenger routes through the terminals - particularly at the destination. BA therefore require a passenger to act as the airway-bill carrier, both for speed and legal reasons. Pilots and Cabin Crew are not permitted to fulfill this function as they usually bypass the normal customs and immigration channels. On only the busiest cargo routes (eg New York, Tokyo etc so not their entire network), the airline will pre-allocate space on the aircraft for a courier and will offer the seat at a reduced price to ensure it's filled.
