Ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe ma ka trans-Atlantic:
Loaʻa iā Indianapolis kona haʻalele ʻEulopa mua i ka wā i haʻalele ai ka mokulele hoʻomaka no Palisa. Hoʻomaka ka hana i kēlā me kēia lā i ka manawa no ka Indy 500, e lawe mai ana i nā mea pā heihei i ka puʻuwai o ka hana. A, ma ke ʻano he lawelawe makahiki holoʻokoʻa, e hāʻawi maʻalahi ka mokulele i ko lākou ʻāina hānau no nā ʻoihana ʻoi aku ma mua o 40 Farani e noho ana ma Indianapolis.
E hoʻokipa ʻo Paris i ka lawelawe hoʻomaha ʻole mai Pittsburgh a me kahi alapine hou mai Detroit, e lawe mai ana i ka 15 ka nui o nā lawelawe hoʻomaha ʻole o ka lā i hāʻawi ʻia e Delta i ke kapikala Farani. Ma ka hema o ka ʻāina, ua hoʻomaka hou ka lawelawe JFK-Nice lōʻihi i ka mahina i hala i ka manawa no ka glitz a me ka nani o ka hōʻailona kiʻiʻoniʻoni Cannes.

Ke hoʻi nei ke ala Minneapolis-Reykjavic no ka makahiki ʻelua, me nā ala kaulana ma waena o JFK a me Glasgow a me JFK-Copenhagen. ʻO hope hoʻi ka lawelawe ʻo JFK-Malaga, aia i kēia manawa i kāna 10th makahiki a hui pū me ka mokulele Atlanta-Barcelona kau e hoʻoikaika i ka pūnaewele o Sepania.
