- 15:58feeling
- 15:58it
- 15:58in
- 15:59Europe
- 16:00more.
- 16:00When
- 16:01I
- 16:01go
- 16:01to
- 16:01Japan
- 16:02now,
- 16:02for
- 16:02example,
- 16:03it's
- 16:03kind
- 16:03of
- 16:04interlinked,
- 16:04but
- 16:05the
- 16:05route
- 16:05is
- 16:06now
- 16:06quite
- 16:06different.
- 16:06There
- 16:07is
- 16:07more
- 16:07areas
- 16:07you
- 16:08have
- 16:08to
- 16:08avoid
- 16:09and
- 16:09I
- 16:09think
- 16:09the
- 16:10flight
- 16:10time
- 16:10for
- 16:10me
- 16:10has
- 16:11normally
- 16:11gone
- 16:11up
- 16:11about
- 16:11two
- 16:12hours.
- 16:13So
- 16:14you
- 16:14have
- 16:14to
- 16:14avoid
- 16:15large
- 16:15parts
- 16:15of

- 16:17and
- 16:17various
- 16:17other
- 16:17places
- 16:18that

- 16:24the
- 16:24other
- 16:24way
- 16:25over
- 16:25Greenland.
- 16:26And
- 16:26I
- 16:26think
- 16:26that's
- 16:26because
- 16:27they're
- 16:27Trying
- 16:27to,
- 16:28you
- 16:28know,
- 16:28mitigate

- 16:29extra
- 16:29fuel
- 16:30costs.
- 16:30Huh.
- 16:31So
- 16:31yeah,
- 16:32so
- 16:32planes
- 16:33are
- 16:33having
- 16:33to
- 16:34fly
- 16:34different
- 16:35routes,
- 16:35longer
- 16:36routes
- 16:37to
- 16:37avoid
- 16:37the
- 16:38conflict
- 16:39zone
- 16:39over
- 16:39Russia
- 16:40and
- 16:40Ukraine.
- 16:41Interesting.
- 16:41Okay,
- 16:42so
- 16:42we
- 16:43have
- 16:43fuel
- 16:43costs,
- 16:44we
- 16:44have
- 16:44potentially
- 16:45longer
- 16:46flights
- 16:46to
- 16:46avoid
- 16:47certain
- 16:47areas.
- 16:48And
- 16:49the
- 16:49costs
- 16:49at
- 16:50airports,
- 16:51so
- 16:52before
- 16:52you
- 16:53get
- 16:53on
- 16:53the
- 16:53plane,
- 16:54that's
- 16:54going
- 16:55to
- 16:55be
- 16:55higher.
- 16:56Right.
- 16:56Why
- 16:57are
- 16:57those
- 16:58costs
- 16:58higher?
- 16:59One
- 16:59of
- 17:00the
- 17:00reasons
- 17:01is,
- 17:01which
- 17:01also
- 17:01applies
- 17:02to
- 17:02airfares,
- 17:03there
- 17:03are
- 17:04more
- 17:04people
- 17:04traveling.
- 17:05It
- 17:05relates
- 17:05to
- 17:05that
- 17:05pent
- 17:06up
- 17:06demand.
- 17:06So
- 17:07to
- 17:07a
- 17:07certain
- 17:08extent
- 17:08it's
- 17:08because
- 17:09they
- 17:09can,
- 17:10which,
- 17:11you
- 17:11know,
- 17:11the
- 17:11same
- 17:12way
- 17:12they
- 17:12can
- 17:12charge
- 17:13more
- 17:13during
- 17:13holidays
- 17:14and
- 17:14which
