.@NBCNews source: As Durbin explained how deal would impact ppl from Haiti, Trump said, “Haiti? Why do we want people from Haiti here?” Then they got Africa. ‘Why do we want these people from all these shithole countries here? We should have more people from places like Norway.”

I know, we are very, very good people, but only because we have ordered many, many of the fantastic F52s which are really, really fantastic airplanes and made to make America great again..@NBCNews source: As Durbin explained how deal would impact ppl from Haiti, Trump said, “Haiti?

Norwegian Airlines Sets Record for Fastest Transatlantic Flight
Rachel Tepper Paley
(Bloomberg) -- To the envy of plane-weary travelers everywhere, passengers aboard a Norwegian Airlines flight from New York to London on Jan. 15 were treated to a pleasant surprise: They arrived 53 minutes ahead of schedule, making theirs the fastest transatlantic flight ever recorded on a subsonic commercial aircraft. The final flight time: five hours and 13 minutes.
The good time came thanks to better-than-expected weather conditions and a hefty tailwind, which helped the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner gain three minutes over the previous record, held by a 2015 British Airways route that spanned five hours and 16 minutes. Still, the Norwegian flight’s captain said an even-faster time may be in the cards.
“We were actually in the air for just over five hours, and if it had not been for forecasted turbulence at lower altitude, we could have flown even faster,” said Captain Harold van Dam at Norwegian in a statement.
The time is nothing compared to what was possible on the Concorde, the sky-high-priced supersonic plane that could cross the Atlantic in a sprightly 3.5 hours and ceased operation in 2003. Supersonic air travel, while faster, is fairly controversial: It can create such unpleasant ground-level disturbances as shattered windows, cracked plaster and very confused farm animals. For this reason, supersonic travel has mostly been banned since 1973.
But there’s hope yet for those desperate to shave more time off their New York to London route: NASA announced in 2017 that it would accept bids for construction of a demo model for a supersonic aircraft with a low-level sonic boom.
Peter Coen, project manager for NASA’s commercial supersonic research team, told Bloomberg that growth in air travel and distances flown “will drive the demand for broadly available faster air travel,” making it possible for companies to “offer competitive products in the future.”
NASA is aiming for a sound level of 60 to 65 A-weighted decibels (dBa), which is roughly the volume of a highway-bound luxury car or background conversation in a lively restaurant.
Then again, why settle for supersonic travel when you can have hypersonic travel? Elon Musk’s proposed SpaceX Air would ostensibly fly through space at 17,000 miles per hour, potentially landing a New Yorker in Shanghai in 39 minutes flat. In September, Musk said the flight should cost no more than the current price of a full-fare economy seat in a traditional aircraft, which at the time was $2,908 from China Eastern Airlines. There are still plenty technical, logistical and business questions in the air (sorry!) on whether this would be a feasible option for the average traveler.
In the meantime, if you’re looking to speed up your next trip across the pond, your best bet is to pray for a gnarly tailwind.
That would be from somewhere in "London" to somewhere in "New York "?I understand that Norweigan is doing cheap NYC flights... 300 quid round trip at the moment. Not bad.
Do you really want me to?Don't hold back, Per. Tell us how you really feel.
You understand well the RyanScare model!That would be from somewhere in "London" to somewhere in "New York "?I understand that Norweigan is doing cheap NYC flights... 300 quid round trip at the moment. Not bad.

They fly to my base at FLL also.You understand well the RyanScare model!That would be from somewhere in "London" to somewhere in "New York "?I understand that Norweigan is doing cheap NYC flights... 300 quid round trip at the moment. Not bad.

No, in this case they fly from Tourist Shitbox Central - Gatsick - to JFKoff.
"I want to be successful here:" Seattle Sounders sign Norwegian midfielder Magnus Wolff Eikrem

On Tuesday morning, the Sounders announced the signing of midfielder Magnus Wolff Eikrem. The 27-year-old Norway native comes from Swedish side Malmö FF, where he has played since 2015. He also has 17 caps for the Norwegian national team.
“I am very happy,” Eikrem said upon arriving in Seattle on Monday. “I am very excited to be a Sounders player and I cannot wait to get started in preseason and start to play in front of these amazing fans.”
After shining for his local club in Norway, Eikrem signed with Manchester United at age 16. He appeared in matches with the U-18s and reserve side before transferring back to Norway in 2011. In two-and-a-half seasons with Molde, Eikrem made 68 appearances and helped the club win the Tippeligaen – Norway’s first division – in consecutive seasons.
The midfielder signed with Dutch club Heerenveen in 2013, then joined Welsh side Cardiff City in 2014 before plying his trade with Malmö FF for two years.
“Adding Magnus will be good for the club,” Vice President of Soccer & Sporting Director Chris Henderson said. “I think he is a smart soccer player; he has an understanding of the game. Technically, he is very good; he has played at a high level.
“It’s been a long process of scouting and good collaboration with all of us here at the club. I think he is going to be a great piece to add. He can play multiple positions and he will make us competitive in the attack.”
Eikrem can play anywhere across the midfield, and has shown a knack for quality service from the run of play and set pieces. He joins an attacking midfield that includes Clint Dempsey, Nicolás Lodeiro and Víctor Rodríguez, all of whom have had success abroad.
“The competition is going to be really high this year,” Henderson said. “We are returning almost our full roster from back-to-back MLS Cups, but we’ve got to get ready fast for CONCACAF Champions League and the start of the season.”
Eikrem, meanwhile, is excited to get started with his new club.
“I know it’s a very exciting league and a league on their way up. I want to be successful here – I think I am going to be.”
Broken toilet forces plane with 85 plumbers aboard to turn around

How many plumbers does it take to fix an airplane toilet?
It’s a joke with no punch line, as 85 plumbers on a Norwegian flight headed for Germany discovered Saturday when their plane had to return to Oslo because of a broken toilet, reported The Independent. The flight, which departed Oslo bound for Munich, turned back at the Swedish border.
“We would have liked to fix the restrooms, but unfortunately it had to be done from the outside and we did not take the opportunity to send a plumber (out) at 10,000 meters,” Frank Olsen, a plumbing company CEO aboard the flight, told Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet.
“So many plumbers on a plane and it has to turn around because of toilet trouble – there’s good humour in that,” plumber Hans Christian Odegard told the publication.
Once back on the ground, the problem was fixed and the Boeing 737 resumed its interrupted flight, arriving in Munich about three hours late, a Norwegian spokesperson told The Telegraph.
