Re: Are you choosing not to travel to the USA?

I'm an immigration attorney. Frankly, I'm not seeing a downturn in the number of people coming into the US. This is great for my business! I am always getting calls from people here from the Middle East and South Asia wanting to invest their hard earned money in the US. Trump and his policies are no...

Re: Dubai Ideas, places to see, opinions

Dubai is nice. I've been there a couple of times. If you want to see everything, do the Big Bus Hop on Hop off tour. Its reasonably priced and it gives you a complete tour of the whole city. You get on and off where ever you want. I had a great hotel for airplane spotting in the Diera area of Dubai.

Re: PIA to connect Leipzig with New York and Islamabad

PIA is a very unpredictably airline. I hope they get their act back together. But, we can only wait and see. The LEJ routing doesn't make any sense. They are not going to get any PAX out of it. It just seems that the cost of flying there is going to be cheaper for them, which in the short term may b...
