Low Fare Africa

I heard a new term recently that sparked my interest: “Immappancy.” I’m not sure who coined the term, but it refers to our collective lack of geographical knowledge, due in large part to the distorted scales found on most common maps. According to renowned German software designer Kai Krause, nowhere is this more apparent than in people’s perceptions of Africa. Indeed, I freely admit I was flummoxed by the image Mr. Krause constructed to prove his point (see below).

America is a large place. So are India, China. In fact, these are our world’s 3 largest nations measured by total area. Place those 3 landmasses within the continent of Africa we are left with enough extra room to throw in the entire continent of Europe! It’s a great way to put the sheer scale of this continent into perspective and show just how vast and varied its rainbow of nations and cultures is. It helps explain how, in all my years of travel to Africa, I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface!

The Transportation Safety Administration has introduce a great new mobile app to help travelers answer their common questions and concerns without chasing around a TSA rep at the airport!

To provide passengers with 24/7 access to the most commonly requested TSA information on their mobile device, TSA has developed the MyTSA mobile application. No matter where you are, you’ll have easy access to information you need to get through security and onto the plane safely and smoothly.

MyTSA puts the most frequently requested information about security procedures at airport checkpoints right at their fingertips. The application has multiple functions, including allowing travelers to find out if an item can be taken in checked or carry-on bags, view delays at all U.S. airports via a feed from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), get some of the most commonly asked packing and traveling tips, and post and see other passengers’ checkpoint wait times at specific airports.

TSA also has the ability to update the application to give users the most up to date information to help them prepare for security. If a specific item is not listed on the ‘Can I Bring?’ tool, users can submit it, through the app, directly to TSA for consideration to be added to the app.
