I am just 2 years from 60 at which point I can no longer fly as a Captain on commercial flights to Europe. All our flights are commercial. I could still fly to Europe as a First Officer but that sucks. At 65 years of age, I can't fly commercially in any position in European Airspace. I love Europe but they are backwards here.
I was asked to apply for a job with a placement agency flying a smaller aircraft. Just awaiting the offer...
I buy the luxury items like Olive oil, cheeses and vinegars in Europe. Generally speaking, the products are far superior. I just brought back 2 gallons of amazing olive oil I purchased in an Arab market in Israel for 25 USD.
Try Wow airlines. Don’t know how difficult that is but it is a well run low cost carrier based in Iceland. All flights connect in Keflavik but their pricing is pretty darn good.
