Air China: Be Aware Of Big Bad London Town


It’s political incorrectness gone viral! The warning in a recent issue of the airline’s magazine, was: “London is generally a safe place to travel. However precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people.

“We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when travelling.”

Of course, the advice may also apply correctly for senior travelers, who must face the reality and vulnerability of big city crime. They’re certain to be robbed blind by sky-high prices of London hotel rooms, fancy-schmancy restaurants, taxi rides and exclusive shoppes in Mayfair.

With ever-increasing technology on the internet, scammers are getting more successful in their phony online offers of travel and other deals. Seniors are perfect targets.
