In de nieuwste aflevering van TravMagazine – De Podcast bespreken TJ van Apeldoorn, Tijn Kramer en Theo de Reus onder meer het reclameverbod op vliegreizen in Den Haag, dat ondanks protesten voorlopig blijft gelden. Ook gaat het over de spanningen tussen India en Pakistan en de gevolgen voor het vliegverkeer, net nu IndiGo onder leiding van Pieter Elbers zich opmaakt voor een Europese route.Verder aandacht voor de komst van Oman Air naar Schiphol, een nieuwe verbinding met Halifax (Canada), en stevige kritiek op het Duitse garantiefonds DRSF na het faillissement van FTI.

Préparer le Vendée Globe 2028 à 64 ans ? Rien qui n'inquiète vraiment Marc Thiercelin, qui rappelle en rigolant qu'il a "un an de moins que Jean Le Cam". D'autant que l'homme aux 5 tours du monde porte un projet d'Imoca en bois auquel il croit dur comme fer. Et au vu de son parcours, il n'y aurait rien d'étonnant à le voir s'aligner au départ.Enfant, il pratique l'optimist tout en se destinant, très tôt, à devenir luthier, ce qui l'amène à entrer à l'Ecole Boulle à 14 ans, avant de s'installer à La Rochelle, où il se lance dans le Laser puis dans une préparation olympique en 470. Il bifurque ensuite au milieu des années 1980 vers le Brésil où il est directeur artistique d'une agence de pub, puis rentre en France enseigner la  voile.L'histoire aurait pu s'arrêter là : en avril 1990, à 30 ans, il passe à deux doigts de la mort, après avoir pris une bôme dans la tête ; réanimé de justesse, il en garde à vie une surdité de l'oreille droite. Verdict des médecins : "Vous allez vous en sortir, mais vous ne naviguerez plus jamais".C'est mal connaître l'animal. Car à partir de là, Marc Thiercelin, malgré son profil atypique, va cocher toutes les cases : la Mini Transat en 1991, la première de ses sept Solitaire du Figaro l'année suivante et, très vite, un projet de Vendée Globe pour lequel il lance un jeu de société Captain Marck et décroche des sponsors pour s'aligner au départ de l'édition dantesque de 1996-1997 qu'il termine 2e à la barre de Crédit Immobilier de France.Derrière, il enchaîne sur Around Alone 1998-199 vec un bateau neuf - construit en quatre mois ! - mis à l'eau quelques semaines avant le départ, puis sur un deuxième Vendée Globe en 2000-2001, terminé à la 4e place. Trois tours du monde en 4 ans et demi - sans compter Transat Jacques Vabre et auters - qui vont laisser des traces.Il prépare un nouveau Vendée Globe sur Pro Form, l'ancien plan Lombard de Catherine Chabaud, en 2004-2005, qu'il termine non classé après avoir abandonné en Nouvelle-Zélance, puis un quatrième, en 2008-2009, cette fois sous les couleurs de DCNS, où il démâte... au bout de deux jours de course.La suite, il la voit en multicoque, investit dans l'ex Oman Air, mais son sponsor ne suit pas. On est en 2012 et Marc Thiercelin, sans partenaire, est resté à quai depuis - il en parle sans fard, avec sincérité. Il fera beaucoup d'autres choses, mais à terre.Pourtant, il n'a jamais perdu espoir, multipliant les projets et les idées, sans succès. Jusqu'à cette révélation l'an dernier : un cinquième Vendée Globe, sur un Imoca en bois, un concept qui semble séduire. Un dernier, pour la route !Diffusé le 24 janvier 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

#198 - Ab sofort erwartet euch jeden Sonntag ein Wochenrückblick.Diese Woche gab es gleich mehrfach Neuigkeiten von der Lufthansa. Der unbeliebte Economy Light Tarif wird nun auch auf Strecken nach Asien ausgeweitet, ab November ist im günstigsten Tarif kein Freigepäck mehr inkludiert. Außerdem verzögert sich die Einführung der neuen Business Class, da sich bei Boeing Probleme mit der 777X auftun. Außerdem neigt sich der Monat wieder dem Ende zu, was bedeutet, dass die aktuellen Meilenschnäppchen nur noch wenige Tage buchbar sind. In der Hotelwelt waren die Highlights der Woche ein Sale bei Hilton und der Start einer neuen IHG Promotion.Außerdem gibt es von Lars ein Update zur Zufriedenheitsgarantie bei Hilton.Bei Fragen kannst du uns auch direkt auf WhatsApp anschreiben.Abonniere uns, damit du keine Folge verpasst!Vereinbare noch heute Deine kostenlose Beratung.

#141-Slot und seine Bedeutung in der Luftfahrt. „Wir sind abflugbereit und warten derzeit noch auf unseren Slot sodass wir in 15 Minuten starten können“: Ähnliche Ansagen dürfte jeder schon einmal gehört haben. Auch unser Concierge Mitglied Dietmar hatte kürzlich eine Ansage in der es erneut um die mysteriösen Slots ging und hat uns gebeten hier etwas Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen. Was hat es mit diesen Slots eigentlich auf sich und warum zahlte Oman Air über 75 Millionen US-Dollar für einen einzigen Slot in London Heathrow. In dieser Folge beschäftigen sich Lars und Johannes mit einem Thema, welches in der Luftfahrt für den Erfolg und Misserfolg einzelner Strecken entscheidend sein kann und massiven Einfluss auf Airlines hat. Dabei stoßen die beiden auf Phänomene wie Geisterflüge und vieles mehr.

More about Anthony William: Born in: I was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, which is a city in the North East of England. Passports from: British Passport Favorite travel book: As much as I love reading and as much as I also love traveling, I've never actually combined the two and read a travel book. Favorite travel film: Perhaps it would either be something like Into the Wild or Life of Pi. Favorite travel site: It's probably dreadfully unoriginal but I would say my favorite travel related app is the couchsurfing app. Must carry: Recent addition to my carry-on baggage – an iPad Pro – really handy for writing on the road and is much smaller than my old laptop. Favorite food: Vegetarian Lasagna or Spaghetti. Favorite drink: Pineapple and Coconut water. Favorite Airline: I think the best airline I've flown on so far way one of these three: Air NZ, Xiamen Airline and Oman Air. Favorite Hotel: I quite enjoy staying at the Marriott whenever I can afford it or snag some free accommodation. Overall though I've stayed in way too many hotels to specifically pinpoint a favorite.

Thousands turned out to witness the Extreme 40s race on one of the most impressive stadiums the Series has ever visited on Saturday (7 July). The 'apprentices' on the circuit SAP Extreme Sailing Team were at the centre of most of the day's action -- including a collision with Oman Air which saw Jes Gram Hansen, the Danish skipper of SAP Extreme Sailing Team, launched into the water. Gram Hansen talked us through what happened in that race, and also spoke about his winning tactics in the final race on the penultimate day in Porto.

Great tactics from Morgan Larson on Oman Air saw his team sail to victory in the Extreme Sailing Series race 3 on day 2 in Istanbul. He talks us through how they did it. http://www.extremesailingseries.com/
