Austrian Airlines offer a new feature: Air Mail. Sounds kind of natural, but not quite since they offer the service in the lunch/dinner boxes. The lid of the card board box is a postcard.

It says “It’s probably safe to assume that Sarajevo is not top of your list of ‘cities I’d really like to visit the moment when I have the chance’. But these days, it should be. Impartial visitors to the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina will quickly notice that the city is well on its way to regaining its former grandeur, and fast becoming the melting-pot of Balkan cultures and religions of former times.” […]

I don’t agree with the first sentence, but who is talking about somebody that prefers Niš to Nice and Podgorica to Paris.
