The population of the Faroe Islands is just 56,210, how can they possibly afford this massive network of tunnels. The website suggests the tunnel will cost 260m euros, how can that…

Give it a few years, I’m under no illusion that when faced with competition Qantas will ditch the wellness zones and extra legroom. London-Sydney is only a bit further than London-…
