Fun with Numbers

28 03 7117 1.5 01 30

Go on then – what do these numbers bring to mind ?

28 - This is the smallest seat pitch on a commercial airplane operating today. It’s a measurement in inches of Spirit Airlines' economy seat. Great for kids. Not so much for other humans.

03 - This is the global ranking of Beijing’s Capital Airport in passenger numbers. Perhaps not surprising for China that they have world’s 3rd busiest airport, it’s now processing more people than Tokyo’s Narita which placed in 5th.

7117 – This is the astounding number of rooms in the Venetian/Palazzo Complex in Las Vegas. You’d think some of them must be on sale at the world’s largest hotel.

1.5 - This number comes to us from the great state of Kansas and speaks to Kansas City airport’s proximity to downtown. You can almost walk from plane to meeting.

01 - This is Los Angeles rating for most expensive taxi fares in the US. It’s a good thing LA is nicely compact and you can walk it all without need for a car.

30 - This is the amount of time in hours I’ve been travelling so far today (thanks Int’l date line) and accounts for punchy postings like this one.
