Zunum Aero: Fly Electric On Short, Cheap Hops


The company, located in Kirkland, Washington, is developing electric planes to get travelers out of cars and into the air for regional travel. They’re expected to be able to fly up to 400 miles on each electric charge.

Along with partners Boeing and JetBlue, Zunum predicts that hybrid passenger aircraft will be operating within the next decade. Because the engines don’t use expensive gasoline, Zunum expects ticket prices will be much lower than on today’s huge, high-cost, gas-guzzly airliners.

Q: I'm Ready To Try A Senior Singles Cruise PDF Print E-mail


I’m newly alone, and need to move on with my single life. Friends and family tell me the best way to start is sign on for a singles cruise. I’m a 60ish retired office manager and enjoy dancing. What’s your advice? RJDiC, Boca Raton FL

A: Senior singles cruises offer new experiences and chances to meet people your age. They feature social dances nightly and dance classes during the day. We suggest you book a cruise that sails after Labor Day, because they’re better bargains, and tend to attract retiree travelers. Best fare prices are usually based on two in a cabin, so you may want to take a friend or family member. If you prefer to travel alone, be prepared to pay extra, or request to share a cabin with another passenger. For more info and booking, contact your hometown travel agent or go online for sites that promote single senior cruises.
