AFRICAN FLIGHT Reflecting increasing business travel to Africa, especially in the oil and gas industries, American Airlines, a unit of the AMR Corporation, said yesterday that it planned to fly between Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Guanacaste, Liberia, starting Feb. 3. The flights to Guanacaste will be on Wednesday and Saturday and the return flights on Thursday and Sunday. JOE SHARKEY


Shoulda done a little more research there, Joe. This Liberia is the city which is the capital of Guanacaste province in Costa Rica, not the civil war torn country in Africa. Not to mention, the nation of Liberia has no oil reserves. Moron.

Well then my mistake. While they do have oil reserves, they still have no oil indursty. :)

And the NYT is still stupid for thinking that Liberia, Costa Rica is in Africa. ;)
