Pegasus Looks Beyond Türkiye with Czech Purchase

Does Pegasus count as a European airline? This might sound like a silly question that doesn’t really matter, but it’s still fun to ponder.

Happy Holidays

Spreading Christmas Cheer As a book lover, I was gifted with meeting Marc Fredrick, alias Mr. Whimsy, and a copy of his incredible children's book. Not only is the story delightful but the artwork is spectacular. If you're looking for that special book for the little ones in your life, this is it! A gift of love, of joy and an absolute delight. The best Christmas gift. He's provided the poem so you can read the story, but the illustrations are phenomenal. I'll share just a few year.&nb
