Travel junkies rule! Hyperitinerants?

"Cheap flights. More flights. Multiplying routes. At the end of a week
that has seen protests against airport expansion, predictions of
further airport chaos, and record oil prices, British travellers are

flights..."

And yet they complain that Ryanair are buying the latest most fuel
efficient jets at a rate of one every 12 days.

" Given the shortage of slots at airports in the South-east, it is no
