Thomson ia fine even if some of the fleet is extremely old and maintenance is contracted out to the same lot that "look after" Malaysian Airlines.  If you are going to Rhodes you will probably be in an Airbus A320, with CFM-56 engines which are as good as they get.  Unless they aren't maintained well. In which case,  you could be fuxxed

I was only joking...


It will be  Boeing 737-800 series.  Which also have CFM-56 engines but due to the low ground clearance of the plane, tend to suck up more shit from runways etc... more people have died in 737s than any other plane.

But you'll be fine

If you are flying from EMA then you might be on a Boeing Screamliner. Coooool. Apart from the luthium ion batteries that aren't cool. They burst into flames in fact. So up until the point you crash into the ocean in a fireball,  you will have been on the most advanced and quiet plane in the sky. Or was in the sky...

If you happen to be at the Island Blue hotel in Lindos, watch out for the norovirus . . .
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!
