It's like the best chocolate maker in the world that went bankrupt - that idiot only thinks about the Danish market - they can't beat an established one Peter Beier AND we are all too poor (because our government robs us to hell with high taxes) to pay for this. That idiot should have opened a shop in Tokyo or NYC.
I actually never heard of it!

Peter Beier Chocolate used to be at CPH as a pretty prominent retailer at the airport.

So when coming off the train from CPH-Hyllie-Trianglen to Malmö C this morning, at Malmo C on the platform Customs suddenly stopped a woman who had boarded at Hyllie and come out of the bathroom about 7-8 minutes later at Malmo C. Happened to be a major firms lawyer who was stopped, based on the questions asked and the answers given.
Seems like Swedish Customs still thinks the border-crossing train bathrooms are prime hiding spots for contraband to be smuggled across and picked up by the contraband-smuggling planters or accomplices. In the meantime, the bulk of the contraband of the sort being sought by Customs when it comes to train passengers is coming in via road and boat, not rail.

Personally, it's way overpriced like almost everything in DK. Their favours are good but we prefer picking Lindt/Hachez up from outlet in Germany, a little less nice but it's a lot cheaper.

Maybe they think alcoholics are more likely to go grocery shopping after waking up with a hangover closer to noon time than at 7-8am. It’s also one way to not annoy as much of the the villa, Volvo, vovve crowd whose prime grocery shopping time is between 3:30pm and 5:45pm on weekdays and Saturday mornings.

I think the Swedish police has to do "n" alcohol checks in Skane per month, so they need to find out where they can pull people off safely (e.g. by the bridge - people have to stop anyway. Mr was stopped a few times for that). It also seemed that Lund had more checks than Malmo.

Behind a pay wall, but the point seems to be that beyond the 3 weekly to Tokyo that has been reinstated recently, no more flights to Asia while the Russian airspace is closed. Though I have to admit my expectations was wrong, I did not see even the three Haneda coming back while they had to fly around Russia.

On a more serious note, yes we do. I would hope that the war ends for both sides sake, but on the other hand I don't see this realistically happening anytime soon, unless Russia dissolves at some point. Russian victory at this point is pretty much impossible (and should be prevented at all cost), Ukrainian victory will take months to years of slowly bleeding Russia out. At no point should the war be shortened at the cost of Ukrainian sovereignty, which sadly does take precedent over my vacation flight plans. :P I sadly feel such occurrences with global destabilisation becoming more common in the future, especially regarding China...
I just hope for the best. (And that I can enjoy global travels again without having to sacrifice any western ideals or with SK going under).

I was inclined to write that I am in support of more NATO involvement just so I could get my SK flights to HKG this autumn, but thought it might be a little too distasteful of a joke.

Are there any SE European/Asian/African-operated SAS codeshare flights flying over Russian airspace?
US airlines can be fast to pull codeshares in the face of bad publicity or government action. Not so sure about SAS in this regard, as they historically seem to be more globally thin with code-sharing than bigger airlines.
