IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ARAB AIRLINES
Founding the Airline: Destiny Airlines was founded in 1978 by Jaden Askrow, the first Chief Executive Officer who grew up in the Dragon Republic's capital city, Kavlaik, D.F. This was the third commercial airline in the nation, meaning Askrow had two great airlines, Dragon Airlines and Zitran Airlines, to catch up with. His fleet began with three Boeing 757s and two Boeing 777s, and he had to charge very high amounts of money for passengers to fly. As the years came, Jaden Askrow began building up his airline, finally reducing the cost of flights. In 1980 he introduced three Airbus A320's and four Boeing 767's, creating flights to airports in the states of Florida, Kavlaik and Molligan. When 1981 came, another competitor emerged; Air Zitru, an airline which had a rough start in the first few years. Jaden Askrow was the only person who thought Air Zitru would eventually become a luxurious airline, and so introduced a fleet of twenty-five planes of different varieties. Until 1983, Economy and Business were the only classes, so Jaden's friend, Owen Davenport, suggested adding First Class. Askrow liked the idea, and soon Davenport was part of the Destiny Airlines team. In 1984, flights to Tweakavant, Kelltoyer, Dylanora and California began with the first flight to Los Angeles International Airport, California.
Airline Expansion: 1986 was a year to remember. Many citizens wanted to spend the Christmas season abroad, and so Jaden Askrow announced that he would purchase five Boeing 747s. The first regional flights were about to begin. This was a wonderful accomplishment for Destiny Airlines, because now the Regional Airline Luxury had been founded. The R.A.L. ranked airlines on a number of key criteria, to let customers know who to fly with, and who not to fly with. Destiny Airlines gained the rank of third place, as they were beginning regional flights. The first regional flight was from Kavlaik International Airport to San Benero International Airport, the capital city of the Elite Republic of Avantarr. The second was from Orlando International Airport to Palm City International Airport, Palmbuk Island. In January of 1987, Jaden Askrow created the position of President, and promoted himself to it - giving Owen Davenport the Chief Executive Officer position. When August of 1987 came, Destiny Airlines was flying to almost all regional airports, and now outranked Zitran Airways in the R.A.L. at second place. By 1988, Askrow and Davenport knew they had succeeded in the airline business, and so created Elite Class.
A Greater Expansion: In 1989, Owen Davenport announced that Destiny Airlines was creating a mileage program, to reward all of the passengers. This program was to be called FlyElite. It began service in 1991, rewarding passengers with points for every mile they flew. In 1992, FlyElite's name was changed to FlyDestiny, and members were given FlyDestiny cards, depending on how many miles they had flown. In 1993, Jaden Askrow stepped down from the position of President, and Davenport became President. Destiny Airlines was a huge success, but it needed more. So in mid 1993, Davenport announced the first international flights would take place. The first of these was from Kavlaik International Airport to Rosswood International Airport, in Rosswood. Davenport was proud of this great achievement, and was also very emotional. In 1994, the creation of a charter, EliteAir, was announced. By Christmas of 1995, EliteAir was pulling in more customers for Destiny Airlines than before, so Owen Davenport expanded it to fly regionally. In June of 1996, Davenport assigned Michael Eisner to the position of Chief Executive Officer, as he needed assistance in management.
Destiny Airlines Today: Destiny Airlines was now cruising the skies in luxury. In 1997, Destiny Airlines was flying to almost one hundred and fifty airports, and was being advertised all over the world. FlyDestiny was voted Best Airline Mileage Program 1998 by the R.A.L. Owen Davenport had made many great accomplishments even before entering modern times, as in 2000, Destiny Airlines gained first place in the Regional Airline Luxury - after a fast expansion. In 2002, Owen Davenport decided it was time to hand the position of President to Michael Eisner - who is the current President. By 2005, Destiny Airlines had won First Place in the R.A.L six times, Second Place once, and was voted Best Regional Airline in 2006. On September 17, 2007, Destiny Airlines was awarded the Golden Globe, the R.A.L's highest award. Today, Destiny Airlines offers luxury without limits, has highly trained and excellent staff, a modern and expanding fleet, and the best service in the world. Are you ready to fly with Destiny Airlines, and fulfill Your Destiny to Luxury?

Cuisine: Destiny Airlines' food is always beautiful, and many of our passengers say it's the greatest in the airline business. All of our classes, from Economy to Elite, will be served food that is similar, but slightly differs in each class. Passengers can request snacks at any during the flight, just by the push of a button. Chips, crackers, pretzels and nuts can be ordered, as well as other mouthwatering snacks. Every class is served up to three or four meals on board, depending how long the flight duration is - these range from pizza to curry to hamburgers, and even steaks and fish. Nevertheless, these meals differ, and passengers are offered up to four different options during each meal. Before purchasing a ticket, beverages and meals can be viewed on our website. Our beverages range from ice cold, to hot and refreshing.
Check In: It is always very easy to check in at an airport for Destiny Airlines passengers. Our check in desks are white colored, and have a maple wood front with "Destiny Airlines" written in silver, along with our logo and name behind each desk. Our staff are always friendly, and will kindly ask for what flight you are scheduled for, and your identification and passport/visa. They will then take each passenger's stow away luggage, tag it and send it through to the aircraft. Following this, they will hand each passenger their boarding pass, and flight tickets. There could be a long waiting line at our check in desks, especially during the busy holiday seasons - so to cut the need to wait in line, passengers are permitted to print of their tickets and boarding passes in their homes and/or hotel rooms on our website, or use our electronic check-in service at our check-in desks. If a passenger uses either of these methods, they must show their ticket to a member of staff, and hand their stow-away luggage to the staff member, or immediately head to security if the only have carry-on.
Long-haul flights: check-in opens four hours prior to scheduled departure
