Low cost airlines: the baby fares

munditravel — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:02:59 +0000

Bad news for parents of young children: they will be charged an adult ticket price even for babes in arms.
The air travel research found that the majority of low cost airlines charge for infants under two years old, whether of not they are carried by a parent.
The low cost airlines easyJet and Jet2 have hiked up the price of air tickets from £15 to £20 each way and Ryanair, actually offering adult cheap flights from just £9.99 each way, charge a minimum of £20 each way for babies!!.
It is an amazing bad news for families hoping to save enough money to take a vacation. Many are ditching the package holiday idea and organising their own flights, hotels and transfers in order to save money.
But for the budget airlines, who are fighting to cope with increasing fuel bills, charging for babies is yet another way to of manipulating prices. Caveat emptor, buyer!

Brazil travel: discovering Sao Paulo, Brazil

munditravel — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:34:04 +0000

The city of Sao Paulo or “São Paulo” (in portuguese) was founded in 1554 by the Jesuit priests, São Paulo, by those days a small town, remained peaceful until the middle of the 19th century when the city started to expand as a result of coffee-growing. From then on,opportunities began to spring up everywhere and the capital of the state of São Paulo has never stopped growing. Immigrants came from all over the world to solve the labor problem and nowadays it is estimated to be the third largest Italian city in the world, the largest Japanese city outside Japan, the third largest Lebanese city outside Lebanon, the largest Portuguese city outside Portugal and the largest Spanish city outside Spain.
In São Paulo, the brazilian mixing of races and ethnic groups has increased with the passing of time and has had a profound effect on the city’s cultural and economic life. As a nucleus within the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo which consists of 39 municipalities,the capital is the main economic centre and the largest urban concentration in Brazil. Like all metropolises, it is facing problems that have arisen from the population density, such as pollution and heavy traffic, but it is also going through a process of economic deconcentration with the restructuring of urban services, for example, the tripling of the underground rail system (metro)by the year 2009, an indication that the quality of life offered could soon be improving. Besides the Sao Paulo carnival is growing each year, and it is very similar to the Rio de Janeiro carnival.
