CNN —North Korea accused South Korea of flying propaganda-filled drones over Pyongyang and threatened “retaliation,” state media reported Friday. South Korea’s Joint Chief of Staff did not confirm or deny the accusations but urged North Korea to “not to act rashly” and said “all responsibility for the recent series of developments lies with North Korea,” referring to trash-laden balloons Pyongyang has been continuously sending to the South. North Korea’s state-run KCNA published images of what it claimed to be a drone as well as pictures of leaflets that said “a comparison of the food you can buy,” and “North Korea’s economic situation falling into hell.”. CNN cannot independently confirm the presence of drones in North Korean airspace.

A business class ticket can cost up to five times more than an economy ticket on Singapore Airlines — and a whopping 13 times more for a first-class one. A business class ticket jumps to SG$6,300, and a first-class ticket just over SG$13,000. Aaron Wong, who flies first and business class when he travels, says: "You don't need to be rich to enjoy such things." However, it's not as simple as just picking up any mile-earning credit card and spending a bunch of money, he said. For example, in Singapore, points earned on DBS credit cards can be combined, but credit cards from Citibank Singapore don't work that way.
