Cheap flights to heaven
Very good.
We commented already the Vatican initiative to organize low-cost flights to shrines.
Indeed, I put the post in my journal as the DUERS' comments were something irresistible.:rofl:

A bit of irony can't hurt any feelings, I hope. Here, the previous post+comments: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2961548

Now this is just an update. "Vatican flight service launches", title BBC.

"A senior Vatican cardinal will inaugurate a low-cost charter flight service which aims to transport Catholic pilgrims to holy sites.
The first flight from Rome to Lourdes in France will depart at 1130 0930GMT) using a small charter airline owned by the Italian post office.
The airline expects to transport around 150,000 pilgrims in its first year.
Flights will initially go to Catholic shrines in France, Poland, Spain as well as the Middle East."
Mexico is planned too.
BBC, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6965124.stm

So if you happen to see a white-yellow plane in the sky you'll probably guess where it's heading to.
