Dies ist nur eine Übung! - This is only a drill!

🇩🇪 Dies ist nur eine Übung! 

Voller Vorfreude auf den beginnenden Internationalen Flugverkehr am SWF verfolge ich, was so in der lokalen Presse berichtet wird. Da haben wir auch einen Aufruf gesehen in dem der Flughafen freiwillige sucht um den Betrieb mit Statisten mal am Flughafen zu simulieren. Hier haben wir uns kurzerhand zu gemeldet.

Hello,

I could stop by with my family (2 Adults, 2 Kids, Germans, Passports, GreenCards) to participate and you would have some real customs/immigration cases.

Or is this for citizens only?

Thanks,

Holger

Die Antwort kam umgehend.

 

That would be great.  I just need all legal names and dates of birth.  The night of the drill please have everyone bring their passports.  Please have everyone sign the attached form and you can either scan them and email them to me or fax them to me at 845-...

Thank you for volunteering.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Diane

 

🇺🇸 This is only a drill!

Full of anticipation for the start of international air traffic at SWF, I’ve been following what’s being reported in the local press. We even saw a call for volunteers, where the airport is looking for people to help simulate operations at the terminal with role players. We spontaneously signed up for it.

Norwegian will den SWF mit Europa verbinden - Norwegian wants to connect SWF with Europe

 

🇩🇪 Norwegian will den SWF mit Europa verbinden

Norwegian Air hat heute angekuendig den New Yorker Provinzflughafen "Stewart International" in Newburgh für kleines Geld mit dem Europaeischen Kontinent zu verbinden. So weit, so gut. Nur wie kommt man aus der niemals schlafenden Stadt denn zum Flugzeug und vom Flugzeug in die schillernde Metropole am Hudson?

Ehrlich gesagt, auch ohne dass ich es bereits ausprobiert haette, denke ich, dass der Weg zum Big Apple via Stewart International Airport wohl der angenehmste sein duerfte. Vielleicht nicht der schnellste und auch sicher nicht der guenstigste, aber der entspannteste. Nicht zuletzt weil man in den Zuegen der Metro North ungestraft ein Fahrbier trinken kann. Und etwa 90 Minuten verbringt man in einem Zug der Metro North auf dem Weg vom oder zum Stewart Airport.

🇺🇸 Norwegian wants to connect SWF with Europe.

Norwegian Air announced today that it will connect the New York regional airport "Stewart International" in Newburgh to the European continent at a low cost. So far, so good. But how does one actually get from the city that never sleeps to the plane — and from the plane into the dazzling metropolis on the Hudson?

Honestly, even though I haven’t tried it myself yet, I think that the route to the Big Apple via Stewart International Airport is probably the most pleasant one. Maybe not the fastest, and certainly not the cheapest, but the most relaxing. Not least because you’re allowed to enjoy a travel beer on the Metro-North trains without getting in trouble. And you'll spend about 90 minutes on a Metro-North train on your way to or from Stewart Airport.
