No, it is not wine; it is coffee! Nespresso has launched a new Limited Edition coffee called Selection Vintage 2014. It is not just another limited edition like Tanim de Chiapas - Mexico or Cafezinho - Brazil. It is not exotic or has a colorful capsule like others. It is all about the story behind it. Have a look at the below video; Nespresso Brand OK, I am a Nespresso customer, and I like both the product and the brand. I even upcycle used capsules of mine and my friends to make decorative items; Capsules and Light . Categorically, it falls under capsule art, another developing thing among fans, which is also under Nespresso's radar. Check the website of Second Life Project  by Nespresso or just google it. Check out their  Ecolaboration Program . A comprehensive one covering sustainability, social, and environmental impacts of the business while improving the lives of coffee farmers and their communities. They do whatever has to be done. I believe that Nespresso is ...

Özellikle birkaç yıldır, bayramlarda seyranlarda veya tatillerde yurdum insanının favorisi Yunan Adaları. Özellikle Ayvalık’tan geçilen Midilli, Çeşme’den geçilen Sakız ve Marmaris’ten geçilen Rodos bunların başında geliyor. Bir de tabi uçakla gidilen ve pek revaçta olan Mikanos var. Yetmezmiş gibi vizesiz Yunan Adaları turu yapan pek çok gemi seyahati de mevcut. Lakin bunların dışında, genelde akla gelmeyen fakat Bodrum’da yaşayan veya yazlarını geçirenler için kelimenin tam anlamıyla komşu kapısı olan Kos ya da Türkçe adı ile İstanköy adası bu yazının konusu. On İki Adalar © LP Son on iki ayda dört defa gittiğim bu ada aslında On İki Adaların Rodos’tan sonra ikinci büyük olanı. Tarihi olarak bizimle olan bağı diğer Yunan Adalarına göre biraz farklı. Tarih kitaplarınızı hatırlayın, 1912’de Uşi anlaşması ile İtalyanlar tarafından işgal edilen On İki Adalar Türkiye’ye iade edilecekken biz Balkan Savaşı nedeniyle (Yunanlılara kaptırmayalım diye) İtalyanlara tam olarak “siz de dur...

I had a few flights on board of Emirates A380s, both in Economy and Business. Yes, it is a huge aircraft, but there is nothing unusual except the bar for premium pax in terms of passenger comfort. Have a look at the video news by Jeremy Howell of BBC;

Before we get into details, please have a look at these two links; Skift - Airbnb Is Really Building A Flight Search Engine  Bloomberg - News about intentions of Airbnb Skift Take by Dennis Schaal; Turns out it is more than a trial balloon, after the announcement of possible flight search at Airbnb Open last month. The margins are tiny in flight search, not sure why it would be better than any other OTA, other than it has lots of traffic coming to Airbnb. How has Airbnb changed the way we travel? Simple. They offered a new, different, and genuine way to stay in the cities we visit. We loved this from host to guest concept. If you go for a room, it is far less expensive than a hotel room. This may not be suitable for all, but if you go for an entire apartment, it is a better option than any hotel, especially if you are traveling with more than two people. I traveled to Amsterdam this month with my friends, and we stayed in a nice, centrally located apartment. It cost ...

Hayatımda ilk defa çok spontane bir seyahat gerçekleştirdim, bu da Floransa’ya oldu. Uzun zamandır planladığım o uzun Toskana gezisi değildi bu gidiş. Denk geldi. Zaten gidecek olan arkadaşlarıma uzun zamandır görmediğim iki dostumun daha eklendiğini öğrendiğimde “keşke ben de gitsem” fikri düştü aklıma. Ertesi gün sadece biletimi almıştım. Nerde kalacağım, nereleri gezeceğiz ya da gezmeyecek miyiz gibi planlamaya dair hiç bir şey yapmadan uçtum Bolonya’ya. Sadece kafayı değiştirmeye, dostlarla vakit geçirmeye. Pek rahat pek güzel oluyormuş! Nasıl gidilir? Floransa’da havalimanı var ama hem küçük bir havalimanı olması sebebiyle hem de Bolonya’dan hızlı trenle Floransa’ya ulaşmak mümkün olduğundan pek çok kişi gibi ben de Istanbul’dan direkt Bolonya’ya uçmayı tercih ettim. Uçuş 2 saat 45dk civarı.  THY ve Pegasus ’un günde birden fazla uçuşu var. İlla Floransa’ya ineceğim diyorsanız o zaman SWISS , Lufthansa veya İtalyan Havayolları Alitalia ile aktarma...

Such a good example for a low-cost airline ads... just on time, savvy and funny.

I remember the Concorde Era and the last campaign of British Airways to experience a supersonic flight with the legendary Concorde from London to New York. I worked for Swissair and was entitled to have a discounted ticket, but not enough budget as a young marketing executive. Since then, I have thought about the length of flight times and supersonic flights' reintroduction by using advanced technology. The introduction of new generation aircrafts such as B787 and A350 brought some improvements to the cabin and passenger comfort, significantly reducing fuel consumption and operational efficiency but time. My latest long-haul flights from Istanbul were to Sao Paolo and Johannesburg. Each of them was more than 10 hours. Personally, I can manage flights up to 6 hours, but longer flights are a waste of time, even if you fly in Business Class. New Era Finally, a company called Boom announced the return of supersonic flights. In an interview, Blake Scholl, the founder and chief...
