Air Travel: New Paths Unveiled
Air Travel: New Paths Unveiled : New Routes, New Adventures, and Plenty of Legroom (Well, Maybe)
As global air travel continues to recover in 2024, airlines around the world are pulling out all the stops, launching new routes to connect us to far-flung corners of the globe. Whether you’re itching for a quick getaway to a tropical paradise or plotting a sneaky business trip somewhere exotic (we see you!), these airlines have got you covered. Let’s dive into the latest flight paths that’ll get you soaring—literally—from Jetstar’s Perth to Bangkok to Airlink’s brand-new Cape Town to Gaborone service.
Jetstar’s New Perth to Bangkok Route: Bringing Pad Thai Closer
It’s been love-hate relationship with Jetstar, a budget carrier famous for taking you from point A to point B with a toll that is not exorbitant, because in the year 2024, things are changing. On September 6, the Australian carrier will start operations between Perth and Bangkok, offering up to four flights per week. That means, you might be chomping on some street food in the meandering lanes of Bangkok, yet retaining the “breakfast toastie” from the airline inside you. There is room for adventure!
Why Perth to Bangkok, You Ask?
After family trips to Sydney and Perth, Bangkok is the it destination for anyone who loves crazy streets and markets and fancy temples and has a nightlife that makes your average weekend look like a PTA meeting. Also, with this route being launched, the demand for direct Australia-Southeastern Asia route flights is fulfilled. It is part of a larger scheme to position Perth as a Jetstar operational centre for the Asia Pacific, in addition to their already busy routes of Singapore and Phuket. So if you love low prices on tickets and even more reasons to fly, then Jetstar is the airline for you.
And with a new pilot base covering four Airbus A321LR at Perth Airport, Jetstar is now on a beauty parade with Western Australia. For those who think a tiki souvenir is a bit too much or those who plan a rather spontaneous fly to Bangkok today (or rather relish snacks offered by in-flight managers), would do it now!
Airlink’s Cape Town to Gaborone Route: Diamonds and Table Mountain, Anyone?
Not to be outdone, South Africa’s very own Airlink is giving us something new to look forward to, too. Come 1st April 2025 (and nope not an April fools joke), you will be able to explore direct flight services between Cape Town, South Africa and Gaborone, Botswana, thanks to the South African government and cease-fire. The only thing that gets better than doing away with a layover at an airport? Recognising the fact that the person sitting next to you probably doesn’t even know that either of the two cities on the layover is on the map—bragging rights galore!
Why Fly Cape Town to Gaborone?
If you have ever wanted to shift your base from a wine growing region to one housing diamond mines gradually then this is the time for you. Gaborone is the political center of Botswana and is known to attract lots of business tycoons particularly in the mineral and financial sectors. As for Cape Town, famous for the Table Mountain, more than just beaches and art galleries to safaris, introduction is superfluous. This route works well for both body in suits and ones in pursuit of unhindered sunsets for camera clicks.
Airlink’s Rodger Foster summed it up best: “Cape Town and Gaborone? Dream team.” (Okay, we may have paraphrased a bit there). Expect the airline’s comfy Embraer E140 to zip you across southern Africa with ease—44 seats, no turbulence (we hope), and zero layover drama.
Air Arabia Connects Sharjah to Warsaw: The UAE Meets Pierogi
Even Air Arabia is in a hurry and announces a new service connecting the two cities – Sharjah and Warsaw beginning December 2024. So for those who want dunes and the capital of Poland it’s a Win Win. Operating 5 flights a week means that you could be relaxing in a cafe in Warsaw one day and the next day be immersing yourself in the culture of Sharjah.
This is Air Arabia’s second entry into the Polish market after Krakow. So take your handbag with you as well as the one for the pierogi and extend your gratitude towards Air Arabia for making the East and the West not very far from one another. “Two cities known for their rich history and culture are going to be connected now,” so came the Group CEO of the company, Adel Al Ali, who is pretty stoked about the new route. This translates into: This flight is a must!
Not Every Flight Soars: Transavia France Pulls the Plug on Paris Orly to Pau
Within the ongoing expansion of network after network, however, not all off routes proved useful. Transavia France has chosen to withdraw its service Paris Orly to Pau – for winter 2024, they will take a short break. Let’s be frank, it’s hard to lose some flights, some of them will have to sink and at times, people are just not interested no matter how any endeavors are made.
Ready for Liftoff? Here’s the September 2024 Lineup

Istanbul Becomes World's Top Connected Airport
Istanbul Becomes World's Top Connected Airport!
As it stands, Istanbul Airport is now the undisputed leader in global connectivity, with an incredible, according to aviation analytics by cirium.com, 309 destinations. Heathrow, you are no longer the main connecting hub; there is a new kid in the block and more connections are being made than ever before!
The New King of Connections:
- Istanbul Airport: One cannot help but be astonished by the size of the connecting network, 309 in total direct connections which make the Turkish airport the new travel champion. Whether it’s business travel to Tokyo or the leisure trip to Vienna, the elders at this airport guarantees your needs are satisfied. And with Turkish Airlines at the helm, you might even be tempted to take a few extra layovers—just for fun.
- Sorry, Europe, Istanbul's Got This: Frankfurt (296 connections), Paris Charles de Gaulle (282), and Amsterdam Schiphol (270) are all trailing behind Istanbul’s lead. Amsterdam’s even had to share its fourth-place spot with Chicago O’Hare—because sharing is caring, right?
- Dubai Climbs the Ladder: London Heathrow was given the cold shoulder this year, sliding right off the top 10 list and being replaced by Dubai International Airport, which now holds the fifth spot with 269 connections. Heathrow, once a titan, now finds itself in 12th place. Ouch.
Top 10 Most Connected Airports:
- Istanbul Airport: 309 connections (bow down, everyone).
- Frankfurt Airport: 296 connections (a close second, but not close enough).
- Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport: 282 connections (bonjour, but better luck next time).
- Amsterdam Schiphol & Chicago O’Hare: 270 connections (sharing is caring, right?).
- Dubai International Airport: 269 connections (stepping up the game).
- Dallas Fort Worth International Airport: 261 connections (Yeehaw!).
- Shanghai Pudong International Airport: 243 connections (steady as she goes).
- Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport: 237 connections (peachy keen!).
- Rome Fiumicino Airport: 234 connections (Ciao, bella!).
- Denver International Airport: 229 connections (Rocky Mountain high indeed).
So, next time you're booking a flight and considering a layover, why not opt for Istanbul? With so many destinations, you might just end up with a new favorite airport—sorry in advance to your former go-to hubs!
