Which Country Is Best to Work In?
Might want to brush up on those language skills...

Travelling around the world on a holiday can be a great opportunity to relax and get away from the stress that work seems to inevitably bring. But have you ever stopped to wonder if you could be getting more money for your time spent working in another country? Is your time worth more across the Atlantic, or at a location in Europe? We have analysed the average working hours, wage, money earned per hour, and number of years to enjoy retirement around the world, so you might consider turning your week away into a permanent stay!

In Flight Menu Excess

In Flight Menu Excess
Extra legroom, or all the Toblerones and gin? Hmmm.

When you’re sat on your plane jetting off on holiday, it’s nice to be able to reward yourself with a few refreshments from the in-flight menu. Whether it’s a nice soft drink to cool down, a tasty sandwich, or maybe even a beer to unwind until you touch down at your destination. But how much would you be willing to spend on sustenance from the in-flight menu? And at what point would it be more efficient to simply buy a business class ticket to benefit from the complimentary food?

People We Hate at the Beach

What we don’t think of are people hollering and getting drunk, flocks of angry seagulls trying to steal food, and people flashing ungodly parts of their body. Urgh! No matter how great of a place the beach is, you’ll always find someone who’s set on ruining your day. Make sure you check out our fantastic new infographic where we rank some of the absolute worst beach behaviours, based on another famed Just The Flight survey!

Borderline Crazy International Borders

Borderline Crazy International Borders
Passports almost certainly required.

Looking at a world map or globe and you’d be forgiven for thinking that the countries of the world are neatly divided into individual territories. However, the truth of the matter is that country borders are not always as simple, nor as logical as they can appear at first glance! From countries surrounded entirely by a single other country, to the border so dangerous for humans that it has become an accidental and unofficial nature reserve, we have explored the most mind-blowing borders on the planet!

Airports Furthest From Their Cities

Airports Furthest From Their Cities
Taxi to the City Centre, Sir? Maybe not...

Flying is a fantastic way of getting from A to B quickly and in style, however, once the flight touches down, making your way into the city can be a slightly trickier task. It turns out, not all airports are named with the onward journey in mind, with some being quite a distance away from the city they purport to serve. But there is no need to get caught out (and stuck with additional hours on to your journey!) – here at Just The Flight we have found the worst offending airports to look out for and calculated how long it could add to your journey!

Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

But unlike the routine flights that take to the skies thousands of times a day, these fictional airlines have a tendency to encounter some issues in-flight! So have a look at our infographic to see how many of these airlines you recognise from television, film and video game!
