Air Slovakia goes Bhangra
BBC reports:
Frankly, the thought of an airplane behaving like a horny adoloscent scares me, especially if there are airhostesses inside clad in Patiala salwars and doing the Giddha on an aisle designed to look like a sarson da khet. On the other hand, we only live once, so if I ever go to Slovakia, you know which airline I'm going to fly.
