1. Emergency meeting for tomorrow (Monday).....Federal Economics Minister Katherina Reiche....Federal Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil.
Meeting players? German airlines, suppliers, and associations.
Concern? Jet-fuel problems within four to six weeks.
Some people discussing worst case scenario.....lot of mid-May flights probably to be curtailed.
2. Josie Rath....wrote an interesting summary for WELT....concerning how things in Germany are now be politicized to a maximum degree. Worth a read.
From hobbies, to clothing styles....there's now a creation machine to make something 'rightist' or 'leftish'.
I have to admit...if you walked around Germany in the 1990s....there was nothing like this in existence. Past ten to fifteen years....it's created out of thin air. It feels like a on-going 24-hour lecture.
3. The wife and I ended up at the Frankfurt Flughafen last night....early turn-in of bags (24 hours prior to the flight).
I was pretty shocked...20 min drive over....easy park (4 Euro)....walked in....NO line....got the boarding pass after swiping my passport....bag 'tag' pumped out....put the bags through the system....took a total of 20 min to walk and accomplish the process. At 7 PM....weren't that many people in the airport.
Saved about an hour if I'd waited till this afternoon to drag the bags over.
Will be in Berlin for a couple of days (if you don't see updates, that's the reason).
