    Response to Your Flight Inquiry

    Q: What flights are available from Vizag on 14th October? Thanks & Regards.

    Flights departing Vizag (VZG) on October 14:

    • Svenborgia ($@©) - departs 10:23 GMT, and
    • Grenarnia (£°ß) - departs 14:40 GMT.

    Please note that, in order to book either of these flights, you need a credit check demonstrating a net worth of at least 2.5 million krugels†, knowledge of the secret handshake that only rich people know, and a time machine since those flights took off 12 days ago.

    † Don't know what a Krugel is? Then you're obviously not rich enough to enter Svenborgia, let alone Grenarnia.
