Perhaps that’s why the former EU commissioner has been going to Dubai; to catch a connector to Panama.

In reply to Carmelo. Tghid ma kienx hemm xi hadd li kien holiday Dubai u qabez qabza sal-Panama biex jipprova jirranga jew jipprova jahbi xi isem minn fuq xi kumpanija sigrieta? Biex forsi ma nsirux nafu l-isem tat-tielet kumpanija?

Yet, Joseph Muscat and Konrad Mizzi insist that there is nothing strange in setting up a company in Panama with a bank account in Dubai.

In reply to tinnat.

That’s true, and before I posted my comment, I was curious to find out how many passengers could claim to “enjoy” such a flight.

The Boeing 747 has less than 20 first-class seats in all the configurations I could find online, out of a little over 450 seats. The Airbus A380 has a maximum of 14, out of a little under 500 seats.

Yes, the overwhelming majority of passengers are going to be willing to live just enough to drag themselves off the airliner and go do whatever it is that they take these flights to do.

17 hours 35 minutes. The benefits sure outweigh the costs of interminable cramps and absolute boredom out of one’s wits.
