    See how good your score is in this little test. You just have to land the plane at the correct destination.

    For Ryanair that could be within 100 miles of the stated 'destination' :heehee: . I think Lufthansa tend to be more accurate with their descriptions.

        I scored 21789, and that was only because I was under immense pressure. I wouldn't like to be a Lufthansa pilot. Their planes are far too fast. 8 seconds from London to Athens? The G-force must be tremendous.

            I travel a lot so didn't find it too difficult. With some of the questions, even if you are quite a distance out you can get a fairly high score. :dbgrtmb:

              21,529. Would have been better but i thought Faro was in Scotland. Oops.

              I take issue with them over the location of Hannover! There were only 3 dots on N Germany, I'm pretty sure I got the right one!
