From beaches to golf courses: The world’s most unusual airport runways
трипскан сайт
When it comes to travel, wherever you are in the world, some things never change. McDonald’s is always McDonald’s. A hotel lobby is always a hotel lobby. An inflight safety demonstration is always a safety demonstration, and an airport runway is an airport runway: a long, clean-lined strip of asphalt free of all external interference; a sterile environment that could be anywhere on the planet.

Or maybe not. Because when it comes to airport runways, once the safety side is taken care of, in a few parts of the world, things get a little inventive. Maybe you’ll land on a manmade island in the middle of the sea. Maybe you’ll wave at golfers on the 18-hole course between the two runways. Or maybe you’ll hit the beach faster than expected — by stepping off the airplane onto the sand.

From runways you can drive across to weird and wonderful airport locations, here are 12 of our favorite out-there runways.

Barra Airport, Scotland (BRR)
If nothing comes between you and your beach break, then Barra, in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, is your kind of airport. This is the only place in the world where the runway is on the beach itself.

Just one flight route operates here: Loganair’s 140-mile connection with Glasgow, using 19-seater de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft. Pilots heading to Barra — an island just eight miles long — must line up and touch down on Traigh Mhor, a wide bay in the north of the island (if Barra is shaped like a turtle, Traigh Mhor is its neck), landing straight onto the sand. Flights must be timed with the tides to allow as much space to land and take off as possible.

Passengers walk across the beach to the terminal on the other side of the dunes, then get a last bit of sand underfoot as they board the aircraft for the flight back to the mainland. With these conditions, it’s little wonder that flights are canceled with a fair amount of regularity — so you may want to build in extra time before planning onward connections.

But even a delayed return is worth it for avgeeks. On this tiny plane, passengers experience the flight in close proximity to the pilots — when CNN took a spin on the flight in 2019, they could even see the pilot’s GPS instruments from their seat.

Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)
In Hong Kong, the islet of Chek Lap Kok was massively extended to create an island big enough to house a major international airport.

For the busiest cargo airport in the world, you need space. Luckily, Hong Kong created an entire island for its airport which, when it opened, had the world’s largest passenger terminal, too. Built to replace its predecessor (a single runway in crowded Kowloon, which was notorious for its violent turns on take-off and landing), HKG sits over the original islet of Chek Lap Kok, which was quadrupled in size with reclaimed land to house the two-runway airport. President Bill Clinton was among the first foreigners to touch down after the airport opened in 1998.

Located next to Lantau Island, the airport has views for days — the sides of the terminals are largely glass, built to shatter (and therefore preserve the building) during potential typhoons. Even getting there is a treat — the 1.4-mile Tsing Ma bridge, which connects HKG to Ma Wan island, heading towards the city, debuted as the longest road-and-rail suspension bridge in the world.

Disney made a smart choice’
Despite the comparisons, Abu Dhabi isn’t positioning itself as a direct rival to Orlando — it’s aiming to be something more. The emirate sees its theme parks as part of a bigger portfolio of attractions, alongside cultural landmarks, luxury hotels, pristine beaches, and desert adventures.
трипскан
A 15-minute drive from Yas Island, Saadiyat Island is home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a franchised outpost of the famous Paris art museum, which welcomed 1.4 million visitors last year, 84% from abroad. The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum are both under construction, adding to a cultural district that will be one of the region’s most concentrated hubs of art and heritage.

“Abu Dhabi’s unique appeal lies in the diversity of our tourism offering,” Al Geziry added. “For thrill-seekers, we have record-breaking roller coasters and dune bashing in the desert. For culture lovers, historic sites like Al Ain Oasis and institutions like the Saadiyat museums. And for luxury travelers, world-class dining, private island resorts, and high-end shopping.

“Where else can you start your day under the Louvre’s iconic rain-of-light dome and end it in the immersive, story-driven worlds of Warner Bros. World or Ferrari World?”
http://trips45.cc
трипскан
Still, not everyone is convinced that Disney’s expansion into the Middle East is a sure bet.

“The region has seen its share of false starts,” says Dennis Speigel, founder of the International Theme Park Services consultancy, comparing it to neighboring Dubai’s patchy record with theme park expansion ambitions in the mid-2010s. “Several of them struggled for profitability in their first decade.”

Saadiyat Cultural District in Abu Dhabi is set to become one of the world’s preeminent arts and culture hubs, with one of the highest concentrations of cultural institutions globally. But the area isn’t just for art connoisseurs. Explore what to do in the new district, from iconic museums to luxurious beach days to decadent dining options.

Spiegel believes Abu Dhabi is different. “Disney made a smart choice. The infrastructure, safety, and existing leisure developments create an ideal entry point,” he told CNN earlier this year. “It’s a much more controlled and calculated move.”

Under its Tourism Strategy 2030, Abu Dhabi aims to grow annual visitors from 24 million in 2023 to more than 39 million by the end of the decade. With Disneyland as a centerpiece, those targets may well be surpassed. The city’s population has already grown from 2.7 million in 2014 to more than 4.1 million today, a reflection of its rising profile as a regional hub.

Yas Island alone has been transformed in the space of a decade from a largely undeveloped stretch of sand to a self-contained resort destination, complete with golf courses, marinas, a mall, more than 160 restaurants, and a cluster of high-end hotels.

Orlando’s head start remains formidable — it still offers multiple Disney and Universal parks, has decades of brand loyalty, and an infrastructure built to handle tens of millions of tourists annually.

But Abu Dhabi is catching up fast. Its combination of frictionless travel, year-round comfort, cutting-edge attractions, and a cultural scene that adds depth to the experience gives Abu Dhabi its own unique selling point, potentially offering a model for the next generation of theme park capital.

The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey made public on Thursday is likely to put on display, yet again, the blockbuster political discourse around the FBI investigations in 2016 that affected the presidential election.
порно жесткий секс
Central to the case: Leaks to media outlets that Comey was asked about in 2017 and 2020 congressional testimony.
геи жестко
Comey, the long-time nemesis of Donald Trump from the early days of Trump’s first term, has been criminally charged with two felonies, both related to a lie he allegedly told Congress in 2020.

Though the attorney general and even prosecutors on the case had reservations about its strength, acting US Attorney Lindsey Halligan — appointed by the president over the weekend after a previous US attorney left due to disagreements over charging Trump’s political opponents – presented the charges to a close grand jury meeting in Alexandria, Virginia, on Thursday afternoon.

In the grand jury room, 14 of at most 23 grand jurors decided prosecutors had probable cause to indict Comey, subsequent court proceedings on Thursday revealed. Yet one charge prosecutors had wanted against Comey was rejected by the grand jury.

Holzdekoration fur Terrassen in Berlin

Berlin ist eine Stadt, die sich durch ihre vielfaltigen Architekturstile auszeichnet. Besonders attraktiv sind dabei Terrassen, die ein schones Ambiente bieten und den Au?enbereich zu einem begehrten Aufenthaltsort machen. In diesem Artikel werden verschiedene Arten von Gehobelten Brettern sowie Bangkirai und Merbau, zwei tropische Holzer, vorgestellt, die haufig fur Terrassendielen verwendet werden.
Gehobelte Bretter - Larche in Berlin kaufen
¦ Gehobelte Bretter - Larche in Berlin kaufen

Dieses Material findet man hauptsachlich bei Spezialisten fur Holzprodukte oder Baumarkten wie Hornbach und Bauhaus. Es gibt jedoch auch Online-Anbieter, die liefern lassen. Larchenholz zeichnet sich durch seine hohe Dauerhaftigkeit und Wetterbestandigkeit aus, was es besonders geeignet macht fur au?entragende Flachen wie Terrassen.

¦ Preise & Qualitat
Gehobelte Bretter - Larche in Berlin kaufen
Preislich variiert das Angebot je nach Herkunft des Materials. Eine qualitativ hochwertige Larche kann leicht uber €10 pro Quadratmeter kosten. Wer auf Budget achtet, sollte auf Markenartikel achten, die oft im Rahmen von Sonderangeboten erhaltlich sind.

¦ Bangkirai und Merbau in Berlin

Fur Kunden, die etwas Exotischeres suchen, stehen tropische Holzer wie Bangkirai und Merbau zur Verfugung. Diese beiden Sorten sind bekannt fur ihre asthetischen Eigenschaften sowie ihre Bestandigkeit gegen Schimmel und Insektenbefall. Obwohl sie mehr kosten als traditionelle Holzer wie Eiche oder Fichte, lohnt sich der Zukauf aufgrund ihrer langen Lebensdauer.

¦ Verarbeitung & Pflege
Bangkirai und Merbau in Aachen
Beide Holzer sollten regelma?ig geolt werden, um ihr Aussehen zu erhalten und vor Feuchtigkeitsschaden zu schutzen. Hierzu empfehlen Experten spezielle Ole, die fur Tropenholzer entwickelt wurden.

¦ Bangkirai und Merbau in Aachen

Auch au?erhalb Berlins sind diese exotischen Holzer beliebt. So findet man sie zum Beispiel in Aachen, wo sie ebenfalls in Baumarkten und Online-Shops angeboten werden. Die Preise entsprechen denen in Berlin und liegen abhangig vom Anbieter zwischen €15 und €30 pro Quadratmeter.

¦ Terrassendielen mit dunnen Nuten konnen in Berlin erworben werden

Neben klassischen Brettern sind auch Dielen mit dunnen Nuten sehr gefragt. Sie ermoglichen eine schnelle Montage und sorgen fur einen modernen Look. Fur solche Produkte ist insbesondere der Online-Handel interessant, da hier eine gro?e Auswahl an Formaten und Farben verfugbar ist.

¦ Vorteile dieser Terrassendielen

Ein besonderer Vorteil dieser Systeme liegt darin, dass sie nicht nur optisch anspruchsvoll sind, sondern auch robust und wetterfest sind. Durch die dunne Nut lasst sich das Wasser besser ableiten, was vor Algenbildung schutzt.

¦ Holz Bangkirai Berlin

In Berlin hat sich Bangkirai mittlerweile etabliert als eines der bevorzugten Holzer fur Terrassenbelag. Seine rotliche Farbe passt hervorragend zu modernen Wohnungsarchitekturen und unterstreicht den Naturcharakter des Materials. Auch wenn Bangkirai anfangs teurer erscheinen mag, so zahlen sich seine Vorteile wie Dauerhaftigkeit und Robustheit schnell wieder aus.

¦ Terrassendielen glatt Berlin

Zuruckhaltender und klassischer wirken hingegen glatte Terrassendielen. Dieser Typ wird ebenfalls gerne eingesetzt, vor allem dann, wenn man einen ruhigeren Stil wunscht. Mit einer guten Abriebfestigkeit eignen sie sich ideal fur Familien mit Kindern oder Haustieren.

¦ Schlussfolgerung

Ob klassisches Larchenholz, exotische Sorten wie Bangkirai und Merbau oder moderne Diensysteme mit dunnen Nuten - jeder Geschmack findet sein passendes Material in Berlin. Unabhangig davon, welches Holz gewahlt wird, sollte immer darauf geachtet werden, dass es ordnungsgema? behandelt und gepflegt wird, damit es lange Freude bereitet.

Ich bin suchtig nach Snatch Casino, es fuhlt sich wie ein Sturm des Vergnugens an. Die Auswahl an Titeln ist riesig, mit spannenden Sportwetten. Die Agenten sind super reaktionsschnell, mit tadellosem Follow-up. Die Gewinne kommen schnell, jedoch mehr Freispiele waren ein Plus. Insgesamt Snatch Casino lohnenswert fur Spieler auf der Suche nach Spa? ! Hinzu kommt das Design ist ansprechend und intuitiv, verstarkt den Wunsch zuruckzukehren.

From beaches to golf courses: The world’s most unusual airport runways
tripscan top
When it comes to travel, wherever you are in the world, some things never change. McDonald’s is always McDonald’s. A hotel lobby is always a hotel lobby. An inflight safety demonstration is always a safety demonstration, and an airport runway is an airport runway: a long, clean-lined strip of asphalt free of all external interference; a sterile environment that could be anywhere on the planet.

Or maybe not. Because when it comes to airport runways, once the safety side is taken care of, in a few parts of the world, things get a little inventive. Maybe you’ll land on a manmade island in the middle of the sea. Maybe you’ll wave at golfers on the 18-hole course between the two runways. Or maybe you’ll hit the beach faster than expected — by stepping off the airplane onto the sand.

From runways you can drive across to weird and wonderful airport locations, here are 12 of our favorite out-there runways.

Barra Airport, Scotland (BRR)
If nothing comes between you and your beach break, then Barra, in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, is your kind of airport. This is the only place in the world where the runway is on the beach itself.

Just one flight route operates here: Loganair’s 140-mile connection with Glasgow, using 19-seater de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft. Pilots heading to Barra — an island just eight miles long — must line up and touch down on Traigh Mhor, a wide bay in the north of the island (if Barra is shaped like a turtle, Traigh Mhor is its neck), landing straight onto the sand. Flights must be timed with the tides to allow as much space to land and take off as possible.

Passengers walk across the beach to the terminal on the other side of the dunes, then get a last bit of sand underfoot as they board the aircraft for the flight back to the mainland. With these conditions, it’s little wonder that flights are canceled with a fair amount of regularity — so you may want to build in extra time before planning onward connections.

But even a delayed return is worth it for avgeeks. On this tiny plane, passengers experience the flight in close proximity to the pilots — when CNN took a spin on the flight in 2019, they could even see the pilot’s GPS instruments from their seat.

For the busiest cargo airport in the world, you need space. Luckily, Hong Kong created an entire island for its airport which, when it opened, had the world’s largest passenger terminal, too. Built to replace its predecessor (a single runway in crowded Kowloon, which was notorious for its violent turns on take-off and landing), HKG sits over the original islet of Chek Lap Kok, which was quadrupled in size with reclaimed land to house the two-runway airport. President Bill Clinton was among the first foreigners to touch down after the airport opened in 1998.

Located next to Lantau Island, the airport has views for days — the sides of the terminals are largely glass, built to shatter (and therefore preserve the building) during potential typhoons. Even getting there is a treat — the 1.4-mile Tsing Ma bridge, which connects HKG to Ma Wan island, heading towards the city, debuted as the longest road-and-rail suspension bridge in the world.

Don Mueang International Airport, Thailand (DMK)
tripskan
Are you an avgeek with a mean handicap? Then it’s time to tee off in Bangkok, where Don Mueang International Airport has an 18-hole golf course between its two runways. If you’re nervous from a safety point of view, don’t be — players at the Kantarat course must go through airport-style security before they hit the grass. Oh, you meant safety on the course? Just beware of those flying balls, because there are no barriers between the course and the runways. Players are, at least, shown a red light when a plane is coming in to land so don’t get too distracted by the game.
http://trips45.cc

Although Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is Bangkok’s main airport these days — it opened in 2006 —Don Mueang, which started out as a Royal Thai Air Force base in 1914, remains Bangkok’s budget airline hub, with brands including Thai Air Asia and Thai Lion Air using it as their base. Although you’re more likely to see narrowbodies these days, you may just get lucky — in 2022, an Emirates A380 made an emergency landing here. Imagine the views from the course that day.

Planning a trip to Jarlshof, the extraordinarily well-preserved Bronze Age settlement towards the southern tip of Shetland? You may need to build in some extra time. The ancient and Viking-era ruins, called one of the UK’s greatest archaeological sites, sit just beyond one of the runways of Sumburgh, Shetland’s main airport — and reaching them means driving, cycling or walking across the runway itself.

There’s only one road heading due south from the capital, Lerwick; and while it ducks around most of the airport’s perimeter, skirting the two runways, the road cuts directly across the western end of one of them. A staff member occupies a roadside hut, and before take-offs and landings, comes out to lower a barrier across the road. Once the plane is where it needs to be, up come the barriers and waiting drivers get a friendly thumbs up.

Imagine flying into Majuro, the capital of the Marshall Islands in Micronesia. You’re descending down, down, and further down towards the Pacific, no land in sight. Then you’re suddenly above a pencil-thin atoll — can you really be about to land here? Yes you are, with cars racing past the runway no less, matching you for speed.

Majuro’s Amata Kabua International Airport gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “water landing”. Its single runway, just shy of 8,000ft, is a slim strip of asphalt over the sandbar that’s barely any wider than the atoll itself — and the island is so remote that when the runway was resurfaced, materials had to be transported from the Philippines, Hong Kong and Korea, according to the constructors. “Lagoon Road” — the 30-mile road that runs from top to toe on Majuro — skims alongside the runway.
Don’t think about pulling over, though — there’s only sand and sea on one side, and that runway the other.

Ich bin komplett hin und weg von SpinBetter Casino, es erzeugt eine Spielenergie, die fesselt. Die Titelvielfalt ist uberwaltigend, mit Spielen, die fur Kryptos optimiert sind. Die Agenten sind blitzschnell, garantiert top Hilfe. Der Ablauf ist unkompliziert, gelegentlich die Offers konnten gro?zugiger ausfallen. In Kurze, SpinBetter Casino ist absolut empfehlenswert fur Spieler auf der Suche nach Action ! Au?erdem die Interface ist intuitiv und modern, verstarkt die Immersion. Ein weiterer Vorteil die schnellen Einzahlungen, die den Spa? verlangern.
