DATA BEING ALLOCATED - WIP

Air Berlin - German (and UK) Low Cost Airline The German low cost behemoth flies from its Swiss hub at Zurich to Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Hannover and Düsseldorf in Germany as well as to destinations in Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Balearic Islands. The airline also connects Zurich to Vienna, Budapest and Warsaw in Central Europe and to London Stansted and Manchester in the UK.

Atlas Blue - Moroccan Low Cost Airline Operates no-frills flights to Marrakech in Morocco. See entry at Morocco

bmi baby - UK Low Cost Airline Straightforward, medium priced, low cost flights from Geneva to Birmingham, Cardiff, Nottingham East Midlands and Teesside airports in the UK. If bmi baby's promotional 25% discount applies, flights are available for as little as 83.12 Swiss Francs - about £37 or €54 - one-way, including taxes.

Cimber Air - Danish Low Cost Airline A Danish airline which operates flights between Basel and Copenhagen in Denmark for a cheapest tax-inclusive fare of 883 Danish Kroner, equivalent to 180 Swiss Francs or €119. Not the cheapest low cost airline around, but worth a glance if all the best Maersk Air deals have gone. Cimber Air's user-friendly booking engine will help you locate the lowest available fares quickly and easily.

Discovery - Czech Low Cost Airline A relatively little-known Czech airline which operates low fare routes from Geneva and Sion to Prague on a yield management basis for a cheapest one-way price of €66 including taxes - about 102 Swiss Francs or 2081 Czech Koruna. That's more expensive than flying to Prague with Smart Wings but still cheaper than either helvetic or fly baboo.

easyJet - European Low Cost Airline Europe's largest no-frills airline provides low cost connections from Zurich to London Luton, from Basel to Luton, Stansted, Liverpool and Berlin Schönefeld in Germany and from Geneva to a large number of destinations across Europe including Paris, Berlin, Rome, Budapest, Madrid, Barcelona and Amsterdam.

FlyBaboo.com - Swiss Low Cost Airline serves Czech Republic, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland. Operates flights from its hub at Geneva to the Swiss town of Lugano, to Venice and Florence in Italy, Valencia in Spain and to Prague in the Czech Republic. Fly Baboo has a very stylish image, but for all that it can often compete on price with Switzerland's other principal budget operator, helvetic.

germanwings - German Low Cost Airline Flies from Zurich to Cologne-Bonn airport on the Rhineland in western Germany. germanwings regularly holds Crazy Night and Crazy Weekend promotions during which hundreds of extra one-way flights are sold at very low fares. However, even outside promotional periods, if you can find the cheapest Flight 4U tariff - 1 Swiss Franc before taxes - you can fly one-way from Zurich for the staggeringly low price of 29 Swiss Francs - just under €19.

helvetic - Swiss Low Cost Airline Another fixed price airline which operates out of Zurich. Even if you book at the last minute, helvetic will fly you from Zurich to destinations including London Gatwick, Prague, Barcelona, Rome, Madrid and Vienna for €132 including taxes. The Swiss budget carrier has also just introduced flights to two new Macedonian destinations, Skopje and Ohrid, for a fixed one-way price of €231 including taxes, though this seems like less of a bargain.

InterSky - Austrian Low Cost Airline Though an Austrian low fare airline, InterSky runs a couple of routes from Switzerland: from Bern to Berlin Tempelhof and Vienna. Fares start at 94 Swiss Francs including taxes to both the German and Austrian capitals.

Maersk Air - Danish Low Cost Airline Flies low cost routes from both Geneva and Zurich to Copenhagen in Denmark. Fares start at around 95 Swiss Francs, 455 Danish Kroner or €62 including taxes.
Maersk Air was a Danish low-fare airline, based in Copenhagen, which was part of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group. It operated from 1969 to 2005, when it was bought by Icelandic investment group Fons Eignarhaldsfélag and then merged with their other Danish acquisition the same year, Sterling European Airlines.
The new company changed name to Sterling Airlines and one month later it was sold to the Icelandic FL Group, which owns Icelandair as well as 16.8% of Europe's largest low-fare airline, easyJet. A merger of easyJet and Sterling is/was a possibility. See http://www.sterling.dk/flight . UK-Denmark for under £40 excl.

Sky Europe - Central European Low Cost Airline Operates connections from Zurich to Bratislava and Kosice in Slovakia. Low cost flights to the Slovakian capital start at around 84 Swiss Francs. For an additional 60 Swiss Francs you can take advantage of Sky Europe's Skylink service from Bratislava on to Kosice in eastern Slovakia.

Smart Wings - Czech Low Cost Airline Provides a simple low cost service from Zurich to Prague for which the cheapest one-way flights are available for 88 Swiss Francs or 1800 Czech Koruna including taxes - about €57. The cheapest way to fly to Prague from Switzerland without exception.

Virgin Express - Belgian Low Cost Airline Branson's low cost airline flies direct from Geneva to Brussels Zaventem International for a cheapest one-way fare of 62 Swiss Francs including taxes which equates to €41. As with most low cost airlines, booking as far ahead as possible is the best way to guarantee finding the cheapest flights.

Map of Liechtenstein

There are no commercial airports in Liechtenstein

Yahoo Travel Guide covers the essentials of how to get there, where to stay or eat and what to do. Also has maps and pictures. The highest point in the country is the Grauspitz at 2'599 mtrs. Like Iceland, Norway, Isle of Man, The Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey as well as Switzerland, Liechtenstein is not a member of the EU.

Reduced speed limits are in force on the roads of Liechtenstein so that you don't miss it. Yet this small delightful and mountainous principality, squeezed between Austria and Switzerland, is better known to international bankers than tourists.
Visitors who do stop enjoy the natural beauty and the surprisingly vivid cultural scene of Liechtenstein. There is hiking in the mountains in summer, skiing in winter and wine tasting in autumn. The Prince's prime art collection, which is housed in a sleek modern museum, is worth a visit any time of year.
Liechtensteiners enjoy the highest per-capita income in all of Europe, and although they do depend on neighbouring Switzerland with whom they have a customs union and whose currency they use, they do love their sovereignty. The country is a stable democracy, yet its people have recently voted a few extra powers to the prince.
The capital (Vaduz) is a surprise to most visitors. It is small, but besides a quaint side, it is marked by modern architecture, banks and office buildings. Visitors will find relief from harsh lines in the picturesque medieval castle and the fact that the mountains are only a few minutes away.

The Rhine forms the border between Switzerland and Liechtenstein and the nearest important railway stations are Feldkirch (AUT) Buchs or Sargans (SUI). The nearest airport is Zurich Kloten which is about 130km or 1.5hrs drive away. (Info partially from Northstar Travel Media via Yahoo Travel)

How to get there:
There are both train and bus transportation into Liechtenstein from Zurich. Many express trains pass through Liechtenstein, but none stop there. You can take a train from Zurich to Sargans or to Buchs in nearby Switzerland. Call tel. 0900-300300 for rail schedules. At both Sargans and Buchs you'll find good bus connections to Vaduz and other communes in Liechtenstein.
Driving from Zurich, head SW along N3 until you reach the junction with N1. Take N1 north for a couple of km to the turnoff for Vaduz.

What to visit there
Besides Vaduz and the Prince's castle, the seldom visited uplands are well worth a visit. From Triesen, head for Triesenberg then either Gaflei or even Malbun (winter playground). You will experience stunning alpine views. The roads are narrow but nevertheless two way roads. Lonely Planet Map and at Image Gallery. More images if you use Google.com and enter Leichtenstein and select Images Search instead of Search.
If spending a day or two in the region, on no account miss Feldkirch just over the Austrian border. This "little Vienna" of Western Austria comes complete with Vienese style coffee houses, covered shopping streets and a castle (A HREF="http://www.hak-feldkirch.ac.at/schattenburg/"> Schattenburg built 1230) over the main road which serves what must be the world's largest children's Wiener Schnitzel. Do try it. The "Gastwirtschaft" of this almost 800yr old castle is in the Knights' Hall and quite an experience with quite a view.
[Official Feldkirch website in English > Search with Google.com for "Feldkirch tourism" and hit "Translate this page" at www.feldkirch.at"]

The Official Website has wonderful video pictures of the ever popular Rhein Valley hang-gliding. Don't miss the video about the "Princely House" and Hans-Adam II and Princess Marie and their family. Leaning very much towards Austrian when it comes to culture and gentry, Leichtenstein is nevertheless very Swiss when it comes to money and business.
This small principality often gets forgotten - "Liechtenstein discovered, to everyone's surprise, that it was one of the Allies in World War II, because it had never formally ended hostilities, as an ally of Austria, against Prussia in 1866." (www.friesian.com/deutsch.htm) - and often surprises by still having the same music as the British national anthem to this day. Switzerland also had the same music (but different words of course) until the mid 1960s

There are no train lines or stations in Gibraltar. At La Línea there are regular buses to and from Seville, Malaga, Cadiz, Granada etc. and hourly to Algeciras. See map at WikiTravel.org

Seat61.com/Gibraltar Tells you how to get from London to Gibraltar by rail (to Algeciras) and bus.

From Spain, there are daily bus services from Málaga and Algeciras to the border town of La Línea de la Concepcion. From the bus station it is just a few minutes walk to the border. Various tour operators also run day trips from the Costa del Sol resorts to Gibraltar.
By car you take the Spanish N-340 and turn off at San Roque for La Línea. Unfortunately, lengthy queues can form for cars wishing to go onto and leave the Rock. It is often better to park your car in La Línea and walk across the frontier. It is a 15 min walk from the border into the centre of Gibraltar. To check queues at the border call Frontier Queue Information - Tel: 42777.
There are bus services to various parts of the Rock at the bus stop, on the Gibraltar side of the border, opposite the airport terminal entrance. There is also a taxi rank and Tourist Information Office. Gibraltar Taxi Association - Tel: 70027.
Gibraltar Phone Numbers - consist of five digits. When phoning from abroad, the dialling code is +350 (from Spain 9567).

By Boat:
When the frontier was closed, there was a ferry service from Gibraltar to Morocco. Although there may be an occasional passenger service geared up to the Moroccan workers in Gibraltar, who have problems crossing the frontier, the Gibraltar ferry has ceased and the nearest service is from Algeciras in Spain. These ferries accommodate cars.

However, entering from France is a more stressful affair involving many hairpin bends. Be sure that your car is in good condition, since Andorra (sometimes referred to as a budget St Moritz) lies at a very high altitude.

Belarus is bordered by Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine and the Russian Federation. The country is covered largely by forests and lakes, is rich in wildlife and crossed by major rivers such as the Dnieper. Minsk, the capital of Belarus, was first mentioned in 1067, but little of the old city survives except a few 17th-century buildings. Modern Minsk is symmetrically designed with wide embankments flanking the Svisloch River. The cultural scene is very diverse with the Belarusian Ballet and museums such as the National Museum of Belarusian History and Culture.

Seat61.com London to Romania by rail. Also worldwide rail.
Travel - Internal
Air - The main airport for internal flights is Baneasa (travel time 20 minutes to Otopeni). Tarom (RO) operates regular services from there to Arad, Baia Mare, Cluj-Napoca, Constanta, Iasi, Oradea, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Suceava, Timisoara and Tirgu Mures.
River - The Danube Delta is easily explored by boat. Most trips and cruises depart from the ancient city of Tulcea and sail to Sulina.
Rail - Bucharests main station is the Gara de Nord on Calea Grivitei. Romanian State Railways (website: www.cfr.ro) runs frequent, efficient and cheap services to most cities, towns and larger villages, some with sleeping and restaurant cars. There are five different types of train, varying in speed from the slow personal to the faster accelerat, rapid and express trains, and the more expensive and comfortable Inter-City. Supplements are payable on rapid and express trains, for which seats must be reserved in advance. Express routes run from Bucharest to Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Constanta and Brasov. Rail Inclusive Tour tickets include transport and hotel accommodation. There are no platforms of any great height in Romania, making entering and alighting a little difficult for the elderly or infirm. There is a discount of 25 to 35 per cent for non-express trains.
Road - Traffic drives on the right. The Romanian Automobile Club (ACR) has its headquarters in Bucharest (tel: (21) 212 8247 or 223 4525) and offers services through all its branches to AA and RAC members. Speed limits are 50kph (30mph) in cities, 60kph (37mph) in built-up areas, up to 90kph (57mph) on main roads and 120kph (75mph) on motorways. Driving under the influence of alcohol is forbidden. Coach: Local services operate to most towns and villages. The main coach stations in Bucharest are at 164 Soseaua Alexandriei, 1 Ion Ionescu de la Brad Boulevard, 1 Piata Grii Filarest, 221 Soseaua Chitilei, 141 Pacii Boulevard and 3 Gãrii Obor Boulevard. Taxi: Metered taxis can be hailed in the street or called from hotels. Prices are relatively low, but drivers expect a 10 per cent tip. Although most drivers are honest, prices should be agreed beforehand, especially at the airport. Car hire: Available at hotels and at Bucharest Airport. Driving is very erratic, so it might be advisable to hire a car with a driver. Documentation: National driving licence or International Driving Permit are required, as is Green Card insurance. Most Romanian roads are best suited to 4-wheel-drive vehicles as they are in poor, potholed condition.
Urban - Good public transport facilities are provided in the main centres. Bucharest has a good bus and tram system and a metro. Tickets are pre-purchased from agents, and there are stamping machines on board buses and trains. There are also daily, weekly and fortnightly passes. A separate minibus network is operated.

Seat61.com London to Ukraine by rail. Also worldwide rail.

Air - Fuel shortages used to result in sharp reductions in flights within Ukraine and erratic timetables. However, the situation has improved recently. Air Ukraine's repainted Aeroflot aircraft are far from comfortable and buying tickets is extremely difficult and almost guaranteed to involve complicated negotiations with the local travel agencies. Pre-booking through Intourist Travel Ltd in London is advised (see Contact Addresses section). Winter weather frequently grounds aircraft. The most reliable flights are from Kyiv to Donetsk, Lviv and Odessa.

River - Cruises between Kyiv, Odessa and Sevastopol are very popular and can be booked through various tour operators.

Rail - Again, pre-booking through Intourist Travel Ltd in London is advised, as buying tickets is a difficult undertaking. Journeys are slow, though trains are more reliable than air travel in winter.

Road - Bus: There are services to most cities and towns although they are not always recommended due to overcrowding and uncleanliness. Taxi: Hiring a driver for a long-distance destination is a realistic option, costing about US$200 from Kyiv to Odessa or a similar journey. Car hire: Self-drive hire cars are gradually becoming more available. Traffic regulations: Speed limits are 60kph (37mph) in built-up areas, 90kph (55mph) in outside areas and 110kph (69mph) on the motorways. Traffic drives on the right; righthand-drive cars are prohibited. Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited. Heavy fines are imposed if traffic police smell alcohol on a drivers breath. Documentation: An International Driving Permit is necessary.

Travellers from Australasia (and elsewhere also) are well advised to take a look at Smartraveller.gov.au which advises Australians regarding DO NOT, RECONSIDER and other travel precautions.

www.ozflight.com.au - Australasia Extremely good Airline News.
Yahoo Travel News - Australasia - News for other regions at start of each region

Best flight deals from Europe to Australasia used to be with Malaysia, Emirates or Royal Brunei airlines.
However, Qantas and Singapore Airlines (in unison with partner BritishAirways.com) rallied to the challenge and also offer good deals now periodically. Cheaper deals sometimes obtainable with SE Asian airlines such as Korean, Garuda, Cathay, Vietnamese, Chinese etc.
Emirates vamped up its flight schedule to Australia Nov 2004 offering double services between Dubai and Sydney (via Singapore).
Big advantage with Emirates are the three 8hr stretches/breaks from the UK which help avoid DVT.

VirginBlue.com.au - Cheap travel within Australia. The "Ryanair of Oz" Super prices. Perth, Darwin, East Coast, Tasmania. New routes coming
Following months of speculation that Virgin Blue was looking to set up an airline in South-East Asia, the airline is now in talks with Air Macau over a bid to service China from the former Portuguese enclave, Macau, best known for its casinos. The South China Morning Post reported Virgin was in talks for Air Macau to waive its 25-year concession as the territory's only home-based carrier. Air Macau only services nine of the 31 Chinese destinations to which it has flying rights and Macau Airport is keen to attract more passengers to the territory. Virgin said it was also looking at several options including expanding into India, despite the Indian Government barring any foreign ownership of airlines in the country.

Kulusuk, Greenland (Air Iceland)
When you have already travelled as far as Iceland, then why not write another thrilling chapter in your northern adventure by visiting Greenland, which is only a two-hour flight away. See pics at AirIceland.is destinations.
The largest island in the world is dominated by a massive icecap, and has an unrivalled rugged splendour that leaves the visitor spellbound.
Greenland is home to a hardy Inuit population of 56,000, spread sparsely along the east and west coasts. These charming and hospitable people continue to live a traditional life of fishing and sealing in what is one of the world’s harshest but most beautiful environments.
The little village of Kulusuk, situated on the island of Ammassalik, is the only populated area of the entire east coast. Here you will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the ancient Inuit culture, best reflected in the beautiful craftsmanship of the carvings done in tusk and bone. The beauty of the country’s natural wilderness, combined with the Inuit cultural experience, may very well mean that your visit to Greeland will rank as one of your most cherished memories.

South Coast Narsarsuaq
Air Iceland will from Jun 17 until Sep 2, 2006 offer flights to Narsarsuaq from Reykavík. Flights will be twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Narsarsuaq, in the southern part of Greenland, is the international airport for Narsaq which is a true pearl of beauty in the otherwise extreme arctic nature of Greenland. With a direct view to the inland-ice, and hundreds of icebergs floating in the fiords just outside the town, the green valley and mountains surrounding Narsaq makes up perfect contrasts for the visitor, who wants to experience pure and unspoilt nature. SouthGreenland.gl gives more information about Narsaq and South Greenland.

East Coast Ittoqqortoormiit Ittoqqortoormiit just like Qaanaaq is one of the youngest towns in Greenland and by far the most isolated. Scoresby Sund with its side fjords are the largest fjord complex in the world and the fjord itself is also the longest in the world. The municipality is about the size of Great Britain and, this would indicate that each of the 562 inhabitants has an area of 420 km2 to roam in. However, the inhabitants live in Ittoqqortoormiit or one of the two settlements, Itterajivit/Cape Hope or Uunartoq/Cape Tobin. Hunting and, to some degree, fishing are the main trades of the area. The National Park is the largest in the world and people without permanent address in Ittoqqortoormiit or Qaanaaq municipalities must apply for a special permit to enter the area. The wild life in the area is extraordinary with many birds and mammals.

Q: Which accommodation possibilities are there - apart from the hotels?
A: In Greenland there are a number of youth hostels in both the towns and the small settlements. The standard of these youth hostels fluctuates on the range of facilities. Some youth hostels were built exclusively for hikers and only offer the guests a plank bed, shower and kitchenette. Other youth hostels can be described as real guest houses with both cafeteria and the possibility of renting bed clothes or sheet sleeping bags etc. In addition to the youth hostels there are Seamen's home in five different towns in Greenland; Aasiaat, Sisimiut, Maniitsoq, Nuuk and Qaqortoq.

Greenland has no roads between towns and no railways either. To get around in Greenland you have to fly or - if time and sea ice permits - to sail. Otherwise, dog-sledding is popular.
