I started this trip with an $83 one way flight to Colombia from USA including all taxes.   How did I find it?   It was a lot of detective work, and I will reveal the specifics in the redesign of my website, but this German aviation magazine also tells me a lot: Aero International.   The website itself doesn’t show much, but the magazine has great info about new airlines and new routes.   I also like the news about which airlines are buying aircraft from whom. When Air Koryo (North Korea) is buying an old Tupolev from a regional Russian airline, this is the kind of stuff I like to know.   Did I mention I don’t have a girlfriend?

I created a small firestorm of hostility on Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree with my blog yesterday.
