Yesterday I was doing a search for a friend while we were on the phone. She wanted to find out a cheap airline that operates here in Germany, and it was either HLX.com or HXL.com or either with .de for Hapag-Lloyd airlines. Well, on both times I got directed to a different and new airline called TUi. Then I remember I've heard that they bought the HLX airline. Now, how can you "re-direct" all the traffic that was destined to a different name? And the most annoying thing, it took a good 25 to 30 seconds until the loading of the page would let me do anything else on the browser! I mean, I couldn't even close the window and do a new search! Is that something the owner of the site can "plan ahead" or was it just an accident? Since my training has been more into TV production, I know there is NOTHING that happens just by chance, everything is well planned and thought... The experts, care to explain please??
