On longer international routes, Oman Air does a half-way reasonable job with food, so that may be a sensible idea; however, it doesn't sound like that's started yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-38847754147601814942008-09-14T12:09:00.000+04:002008-09-14T12:09:00.000+04:00I hear even more of these flying bullets are on or...I hear even more of these flying bullets are on order.

Have noticed this elsewhere with these types of fast ferries and HSV's. Your's should definitely have bars and refreshments onboard for sale, at least for however long they remain in business.<BR/><BR/>Aloha, BradMauibradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759237357642699345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-20628513132272483772008-09-11T10:39:00.000+04:002008-09-11T10:39:00.000+04:00UD, your advice to the first anon, who has since a...UD, your advice to the first anon, who has since adopted the nickname jupiter, makes sense.

I suspect it has been done on an optimistic forecast, based on the famous Las Vegas principal of 'if we build it, they will come'. And perhaps they will, eventually.
