Flying with Hello Kitty on Eva Airways, windmills in holland Hello Kitty planes Eva Airways Eiffel Tower

Now you can really say that flying with Eva Airways is a breeze, even for children. The Taiwanese airline have painted their aircraft and designing information posts of their airports with the Hello Kitty characters.

The white cat in a red suit, red bow and wand decorated many of Eva Airways’ aircraft to run between Taipei, Fukuoka, Narita, Sapporo, Incheon, Hong Kong and Guam, and all other Eastern cities where Hello Kitty is popular.

The jets show three different strands of the saga: Hello Kitty loves apples, which is dedicated to the cat’s unnatural passion for apples; Hello Kitty with magic stars recalls the magic of love and friendship; Hello Kitty Around the World portrays the cat and its close friends to the world’s most famous monuments, like the tower of Pisa, the Eiffel Tower and the Dutch windmills.

One of the privileges that lucky passengers of Eva Air can enjoy is the special shopping theme. Among them are Swarovski crystals, model airplanes, watches, handbags and Hello Kitty USBs as souvenirs to take home.

Summer travel: Reykjavik, Iceland

Summer travel: Reykjavik, Iceland, room with a view hotel reykjavik Reykjavik Iceland Jensen World Travel Fish Company restaurantWhy you’ll love

Summer in Iceland means more hours to reveal its scenic wonders. “There are very few hours of darkness,” says travel agent Tor Jensen, of Jensen World Travel. You can walk in and see active geysers in Reykjavik, Gullfoss waterfall and go to the Blue Lagoon, a natural geothermal spa. If you go in August, you can catch a flight to see the puffins leave the nest.

Why is a good plan

You can get a Scandinavian experience for much less than you would pay to travel to Norway or Sweden, as Iceland is much closer to the United States. There are more non-stop flights to Iceland, reducing tariffs, and because of the 2008 banking crisis in Iceland. Krona lost over half its value against the dollar (one dollar equals to 180 kronas) and you can take more of your money.
