Hi Fly is the first charter airline to have an A380, which is pretty darn awesome, since they're operating flights on behalf of other airlines.

PAR-RUN is the world's longest nonstop domestic flight. However, CDG-PPT (via LAX) is the world's longest direct flight, if I'm not mistaken. Shows how France has the most timezones of any country
Does anyone know when ANA tends to open up upgrades with miles? A few days before departure?
@Phize: That depends how you count "domestic". Réunion ist part of mainland France, therefore part of the European Union and the currency is the Euro. Tahiti on the other hand is a french overseas territory where France is only responsible for foreign policy, justice, defense and public order. So, a flight between Paris and Réunion could be considered more "domestic" than a flight between Paris and Tahiti. I would suppose it is the same that a flight from the US-48 to Hawaii is a domestic flight while a flight from the US to American Samoa is not.
I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about geography but had no idea Reunion was part of EU, runs off the Euro and is treated like the mainland. Quite interesting has anyone on here been there?

I have never been there but the island is well known for its volcanos.
There are not really beaches.
La Réunion is one of the départements of France like Normandy, Paris (a city and a département aswell at the same time) or Guadeloupe, Martinique or Guadeloupe.
And of course France shares its longest physical border with Brazil thanks to ist Guyane département.
Réunion definitely has beaches, the house we rented there had a beach at the bottom of the garden. You're usually advised to only swim in certain areas though, due to the sharks.
A lovely place and the food is fabulous.
Réunion is the first place in the world to use Euro.
