Hue Airport To Close Down from mid-May to mid-June

Hue airport (known locally as Phu Bai Airport) in Vietnam will be closed from May 13 to June 16 for runway maintenance.

In the meantime, you can fly to Danang.

Or ask your all-resourceful travel agent or HR department. Im sure the latter will not help you.

Fly from Malaysia to Pyongyang

BusinessWeek writes this week about the opening of a new route between Kuala Lumpur and Pyongyang, DPRK (North Korea).

Although chartered flights have been operating on the route for years, this is the first time that regular scheduled flights will initiate on the route.

What is surprising, is that the article mentions that the airline already flies to a bunch of countries (e.g. Switzerland and the Czech Rep.) and that Air Koryo has its own website!

Just look at the Koran story from Florida and the subsequent turmoil in Afghanistan:
