These photos are so beautiful and quirky. Created simply as sketches in a moleskine by a Swedish illustrator. Click through to see close-ups of the cockpit and all of its gizmos and gadgets.

“In one 25-day span this year, Joyce flew round trip to London 16 times, flights that would retail for more than $125,000. He didn’t pay a dime.”
That airplane bracelet I last blogged? It’s Martin Margiela and long sold out on every website I’ve looked at. But while I was browsing, I came across 17 pages on Etsy of aviation inspired jewelry.

Monday marks the inaugural flight of the A380 from Frankfurt to JFK. The twenty-three crew members from that flight will be in SoHo. One will be on a mission to give away a pair of round-trip biz-class tickets to Europe. For clues on the whereabouts of the official cabin crew member holding the prize, follow @Lufthansa_USA.
Love this B&W pic of an old Lufthansa plane. Also like their new giveaway.
