JAL de Japón confirma la compra de 17 Boeing 737 Max

✈️ Japan Airlines (JAL) announced the purchase of 17 Boeing 737 Max aircraft to refresh its short-haul fleet, adding to a previous order of 21 of the same model, which has experienced significant delays. Furthermore, JAL has decided to buy 11 Airbus A321neo to replace the older 767s at Haneda Airport, Tokyo. This marks a shift away from being an exclusive Boeing customer, as JAL now also has 10 Boeing 787s and had purchased 20 Airbus A350-900s, one of which was destroyed in a fire after colliding with a rescue service vehicle at Haneda Airport.

Barcelona: diez mil pisos vuelven al alquiler normal

🏖 The Tribunal Constitucional upheld a decree allowing Catalan municipalities to not renew tourist rental licenses in 2028. Barcelona's tourist apartment licenses require renewal in November 2028, and the current city council aims to deny renewals, affecting 10,000 legal tourist apartments. The Partido Popular challenged the regional rule but lost; it limits licenses to 10% of resident flats for five-year terms, renewable. This measure is among the most radical against tourist apartments, with only New York implementing similar prohibitions. France allows municipalities to limit rentals to a few weeks per year.

La discriminación de precios también puede ser burlada

🚀 Hotels and airlines adapt prices according to customer payment capabilities. Clients from wealthier countries use VPNs to simulate connections from different locations for lower prices. In the U.S., customers from high-income areas like Silicon Valley encountered prices 71% higher than those in Phoenix, Arizona, as stated by computer magazine specialist Sam Singleton of PCWorld. Northern European airlines offer cheaper flights for Spanish customers, while some Spanish airlines provide lower business class fares for flights booked in Tunisia or through a Tunisian IP than from France or most European countries.
