Why Commercial Pilots are not allowed to fly over the Poles

You've probably thought about why airplanes don't fly over the poles, well if you read this article I will tell you why.

First, because you have to be within 1 hour of an airport if something goes wrong, and I don't think there are to many places to land on the poles.

Second, because pilots say navigational equipment goes crazy. Imagine that you are a pilot taking a commercial flight from somewhere north to Alaska. Then, you accidently cross the borders into the north pole. Suddenly, your navigational equipment points you in the wrong direction and you don't know what altitude you are at. That's why commercial flights don't fly there(only charter flights, like to bring scientists to them).

It takes a shorter time to just fly around the poles instead of going through all the hassle(it depends on where you are going). So that's why they don't fly over the poles.

One of the Nicest Hotels in Indonesia

Today, I will be talking about one of the countless hotels I've been to over the years, and let me tell you, it's worth it for the money. Westlake Hotel On the last trip I had, Iwent to this hotel for 2 weeks. The food was great, the rooms were clean and large and it was good value. It's a good hotel for families since there are 2 double beds in a lot of the rooms. There are a few huge rooms in the hotel. If you look at the picture under this paragraph, it will be a small bedroom only! The huge bedrooms, like what I was staying in was even bigger. If anyone was bored, they could go down to the pool. All you have to do to get there is go down the path ( there are signs that help you get around the hotel) and then follow the signs to the front of the hotel. By the way, it's right next to the restaurant. There were also swings and statues next to the path and restaurant. The service at the hotel was great but the only thing which is not that ...

Why train tickets are so expensive

Whenever you go on a cross-country train, it's usually expensive especially if it's luxurious. Well, if you want to know why they are so expensive I will tell you. First, they need to pay their hundreds of thousands of players so that's a big chunk of the money for workers. Second, they need to maintain the trains and the tracks. Take Amtrak as an example, they have millions of miles of track. And that's a lot of money for maintaining 300 million miles of track. Also, you have to think of the hundreds of trains they have. Also, the company needs some money for themselves or else they won't earn money. There are more factors but I will leave them for another post. So those are some of the factors. I hope you enjoyed the article and remember to check out some of our other posts.
