On the fourth cup of coffee and still not awake. 55F outside, 65F inside and the forecast high for the day is 81 with afternoon thunderstorms possible. Things around here haven't dried out to the point where I expect they would be easy to light up but that isn't too far in the future. Maybe get some bench time in today but that is proving hard to come by these days.
this one is special. why? Its a HIGH CLASS Airline, called Be0nd, they fly from ZRH to the Maldives direct, and have only business class seats. If iam correct its an old AirBerlin Aircraft.
I was reading about this airline. They seem to have low usage as they only had flights from Zurich and Munich (and Saudi Arabia) and Munich seems to be on hold and Zurich seems to have most flights cancelled and they just fly intermittently. They're supposed to start new flights from Italy soon but who knows. Their only flights that seem to go with regularity are from Saudi Arabia.

All the Arizona/California things on that track don't really bother me. They're just over-scanning it as it goes from the 3rd party drop off site to each level higher USPS facility to the various ones involved with customs/international shipping in California. Some are multiple scans at different dorrs or belts in the same facility probably.
The concerning one is that it seems to have been misrouted on its trip away from the US. There are plenty of planes that fly directly to the UK including from California. So once it left the international sort facility/customs it shouldn't have gone to SIngapore via Tokyo (if it were going to Singapore then the stop in Tokyo wouldn't bother me).

One interesting aspect of the US west bouncing can be found reading the names of the spots: If you have a UP map, for example. you can literally follow your package from one siding to the next. or along the double track.
I had a package last year which came east on a hotshot container to Cheyenne WY...the UP got it there quickly...but which then lingered for FIVE days before FedEx sent it south to Denver.
The initial time in Arizona seems to be that the shipper created a label and maybe gave itto the third party but the third party didn't get it to USPS for a couple days. The first real USPS line item is the one on June 20.
This airline was founded in 2022 and is based in the Maldives and basically just serves the Maldives...
