Cabo Verde Airlines, the Cape Verdean airline, will start flying to Lagos Nigeria, from December 9th 2019. The connection between Sal and Lagos will be operated five times a week, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with a Boeing 757, with 161 economy class seats and 22 Business class seats.

The inaugural flight is scheduled for December 9th, departing from Amílcar Cabral International Airport (Sal) at 20:50 local time and arriving at Murtala Muhammed Airport (Lagos) at 02:10 local time.

All flights will connect to Sal Island, Cabo Verde Airlines' international hub, and will make connections to Lisbon (five times a week), Washington DC (three times a week) and Boston (once a week), as well as to the airline’s destinations in Brazil - Salvador, Porto Alegre, Recife and Fortaleza.

 In addition to the hub connections on Sal Island, Cabo Verde Airlines' Stopover program allows passengers to stay up to 7 days in Cabo Verde and thus explore the various experiences on the islands, at no additional cost for airline tickets. The new route strengthens the company's operations within the African continent, as well as the connection between Africa and Europe and North and South America as part of its mission to connect these four continents.

Celebrating 15 Years of Emirates A380

Image
  Emirates has been flying the Airbus A380 for 15 years now, and it’s safe to say that this superjumbo has become a cornerstone of their fleet. With 116 A380s in operation, Emirates is the biggest user of this aircraft, and they’ve got some pretty cool features to show for it. When Emirates got its first A380 on July 28, 2008, it was a game-changer. Airports had to revamp their runways and air bridges just to handle this beast. Why? Because the A380 can weigh up to 575 tonnes, which is two and a half times the weight of the Statue of Liberty. The A380 is also the largest passenger aircraft ever made. It can hold up to 615 passengers and has over 550 square meters of usable floor space. That’s a lot of room for people and even more room for luxury, which Emirates is known for. Emirates A380 First Class passengers get to enjoy 14 fully-enclosed Private Suites. You can pick your meal and bedtime, and there’s even an on-board Shower Spa.

An Argentinian Low-Cost Carrier Has Become the First Airline in the World to Allow Passengers to Resell Their Tickets.

Image
  The Argentinian low-cost carrier Flybondi has become the first airline in the world to allow passengers to resell their tickets and, in the process, earn a cut of any profit made by selling the ticket for a higher price than it was originally sold for. Similar to how concert ticket vendors like Ticketmaster have allowed resales for years, Flybondi has introduced a new platform from travel technology startup TravelX to introduce a similar concept for airline tickets. The system works by creating an NFT ticket alongside the original ticket, which is stored on the blockchain. The two tickets are synchronized and have the same fare rules, seat numbers and itineraries, allowing Flybondi to trace the NFT ticket even as it is resold or transferred to someone else. The technology currently allows resells up to 72 hours before departure, enabling both Flybondi and TravelX to earn a transaction fee whenever the ticket changes hands. Normally, airlines strictly forbid reselling tickets, but Fly
