Madeira Airport also known as Funchal Airport or Santa Catarina Airport also. This airport is an international airport located near the city of Funchal, Madeira. This airport traffic control, both domestic and international flight from Madeira islands.

This airport was not favored because the runway is short and surrounded by mountains and ocean, it makes the process of take off and landing is very difficult even for professional pilots though. The length of the runway is only 1.4 kilometers of the original but added another 400 yards after a crash in 1977.

Gustaf III Airport also known as Saint Barthélemy Airport is a commercial airport that rural St. Jean on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy. Both the airport and a city named after the name of King Gustav III of Sweden. This airport serves a small commercial aircraft operating in the region. Berahir short runway at the beach and the beginning of the closed runway airport hill makes it dangerous for tourists to sunbathe at the end of the runway, although there are warnings to not bask in that location.

Courchevel (France)
Courchevel is a ski resort in the Alps, France. This airport has a few obstacles such as its short runway which is only 525 m and the degree of slope up to 18.5%. I was so short, the pilot should land on the runway which rose and flew down towards the runway.

Who are landed here? one of them is Pierce Brosnan, while starring in a James Bond movie “Tommorow never dies” at the opening of the film. Other? we must use a helicopter or a small chartered plane and the pilot had to be trained first before landing there.

Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport (Saba)
Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport is the only airport on the Caribbean island of Saba. Airport is very well known with how the plane can take off from the runway. Yrausquin Airport has a large portion of the flights on the island of Saba. Some aviation experts have the opinion that this airport is one of the most dangerous airport in the world although there is no great tragedy that happened here. At the end of the runway there is a large letter X to indicate that the airport is not for commercial flights.

Danger comes from the geographical conditions of the airport itself, on one side of a high hill and there in both end of the runway directly to the ocean abyss. Very dangerous for the aircraft with the possibility can not be landed due to hit the gulf or less energy to take off, which led to falling into the abyss too.

Princess Juliana International Airport (Saint Martin)
No need to explain again what the dangers, you’ll see live pictures. This foundation is very close to the beach which is always filled with tourists who were sunbathing. Although there has never been a serious accident that resulted in casualties, but both takeoff and landing jet spray planes can cause fatal accidents for tourists in the surrounding areas.

The question is why the airport is still used, even for a solid commercial flight? The answer is to somehow keep this airport is the safest place for all flights from the existing location on the island. No wonder this airport because it has been named the most dangerous airport in the world.

Many little things we need to plan (at least known) so we are not confused when they arrive at their destination.

Preparing suitcase

Know the weather in the destination countries, are all seasons, and whether there was bad weather. Towards on tropical countries such as Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand), India, and South America will be the same more or less, you just need a lot of shirts because often sweaty. But the country with 4 seasons will be slightly different story. In the winter, we must prepare winter clothes, boots, scarves, hats, gloves, etc.. Troublesome items like this can not be used when it was returned to Indo, then disposed of when thinking about going home or staying to take home despite heavy.

Towels – this one is like being a problem if taken for a walk. If you bring own towels, the possibility was always damp towel and the weight of luggage that was taken to move each day with no drying time. If your hygiene standards casual, consider using the hotel towels. Star hotels generally provide a thick towel and clean, while the non-star general gives a thin towel clean though.

Laundry – if you are traveling for a long time, certainly one day will need to do the washing-washing business. Buy a small pack detergent to wash clothes if a stay in one place a few days. Self-soaked and dried, no need to squeeze for making disheveled. Clothing in hell if I can buy a disposable, disposable stay away.

Drugs – in a foreign country, most prescription drugs can not be purchased at pharmacies without a prescription. So who should buy the drug you need in the Indo (which do not need a prescription).

Arrive at the Airport
You need to do research from the beginning: how the city from the airport, if available bus, train or taxi should be. It also needs to know how to buy tickets and prices. The queue at the airport information counter at times long enough so you can save time if you already know things like this.  Sometimes you need to know also where the suitcase care locations, money changer, facilities for the disabled, etc..

Using public transport
This is quite difficult, you also need to research how to use public transport. Are tickets purchased for each trip (single trip) or day pass is available for less money. Download is a map of the metro or buses to help you plan a trip, including the hotel accommodation. If you can already know what to take, what number bus, train what path to get to the hotel.

Drinking water
Because one day need to drink at least 2 liters of water, as long as you’re likely to travel frequently to buy bottled drinking water at the local site. Know that drinking water is usually the price is expensive if purchased at the tourist sites. You can find in a grocery store (like Carrefour or Giant) because certainly cheaper. 500ml bottle of water at 7-eleven Singapore sold 60 cents, while in Fair Price (large supermarket) 1.5L price just 70 cents-1 dollar.

To save money, you can research whether you can drink from the local city tap water. Singapore, Hong Kong (part), Japan, and almost all regions of Western Europe have drinkable tap water, even in public toilets. Simply take an empty bottle and refill during the trip.

Operating Temperature
Well, this is related to electronics. You need to check your gadget’s manual if you want to be taken to areas with extreme weather, cold or hot. The goods are somewhat sensitive to weather such as cameras, mobile phones, hard disk, etc.. There was a watch that will be bad when the temperature was below zero degrees. Also be sure to bring a plug adapter appropriate foot: two legs, three legs (not the ointment brand), 3 feet with 2 side pins, or small strip of 2 feet (it’s just my term)

There are still a few more things that I have not discussed, may be added in the future. Or you can add?

You will 1st chance that there possibly an unforeseen trouble. You’ll chance that there are close to things that could go awry and you will want to be sure that you are able to acquire your money backward. The travel insurance was made so that you can keep yourself a few harass when it concerns cancellations for definite things. You might chance that decently before you journey you might finish up comely really sick or you may land up having to apportion with something alike a destruction in the family unit. There’s so much that could go unsuitable and you’d prefer to be sure that you get the insurance policy so when the unforeseen chances, you’re developed for it.

For those who are journeying abroad or to other lands, you may want to check out an insurance policy program that will binding you in that extraneous area. You’ll want to assure what it broods, because what you have now commonly won’t afford you medical exam since a lot of programs are not acceptable in a different lands. In these positions you require to have medical when you’re assign into an exigency. You’ll want to be sure that you’re addressed aside from house. You need to be sure that you are able to be brooded in any position.

Even though there are an amount of causes why you might have a closing down of the airline, you’ll want to accept inconsiderateness the weathers. You may as well have to bargain with something that won’t be rescheduled and repayments won’t be given. It’s times like these that you’ll apply the insurance policy to get your money endorse.

One of the most pop matters is dropping off your baggage. You’ll chance that dropping a baggage is always the cause whenever you don’t bear on. This entails that you’ll want to accept the insurance policy out if you know the stats of the amount of things that get lost in the baggage arena. You will as well chance that at that place are going to be points that possibly baffled or sneaked and the insurance will cover that also. This is one of the causes why you require the insurance policy to wing. You may backpack some worthful matters in your bagful and when you land, have no of it. The insurance will assist you to cut back your prices.

In addition to the park, you will be amazed by the presence of a row of shops that sell a variety of needs such as shoes, jewelry, cosmetics and perfumes much cheaper price if we bought outside the airport. Understandably all goods sold tax-free here. Uniquely again, for all the goods be guaranteed 30 days money back.

That way you do not have to think about souvenirs dizzy. Starting from chocolate, children’s toys to jewelry, duty-free shop at Changi makes shopping so easy. Even if you forget to bring a camera, the good times in Singapore can still perpetuated because there is a digital camera shop there. Or if you want to buy books published recently, is a book store is open 24 hours.

You would never imagine before, there are airport facilities which provide very comprehensive. There’s a place aerobics, hair salon, massage counter body, aroma therapy, until the oxygen therapy. Or visitors want to feel bored with the movies? Could also. Even going to bed can, at a transit hotel at the airport.

If the long transit time, more than four hours, can take city tour with a few choice tourist attraction. Free. To Scenic River Tour, this tour across the Shenton Way, Singapore’s financial area, toward the South Bridge Road, the center of the oldest temples of India and China. Travelers then down at Boat Quay to sail along the Singapore River with bumboat. This is a unique way to get to know the history of Singapore.

To Sentosa Tour, a tour guide will lead to an interesting Sentosa Island with only a five minute journey from Singapore. There was a glimpse of the spectacle of Sentosa before stopping for 10-15 minutes at Siloso Beach. But visitors who want to walk alone without a guide can also, of course, with a brochure containing detailed information are available at some airports table.

When visitors dropped the option to recognize the ethnic groups of Singapore, then fitting the decision to go to Joo Chiat / Katong, or Kampong Glam, or Little India, or China Town. Distance between 15 minutes to 30 minutes by taxi or train (MRT) from Changi. Of course, if you leave the airport, the passport must be left at the airport immigration counter, without a troublesome procedure.

As a modern airport, the runway is equipped with four sets of instrument landing systems to guide aircraft landing in all weather.

So guaranteed, every prospective airline passengers will feel the indulgence offered by Singapore, although only for a moment transit
