In April, ‘CNN Business Traveller’ shows how far people can go on the world’s expanding range of budget carriers.

Host Richard Quest (pictured), CNNMoney’s Editor at Large, embarks on an eight day round the world marathon using only low cost airlines.  The journey includes ten airlines, nine countries, 12 cities and 13 airports.

Beginning in London, ‘CNN Business Traveller’ stops in Belgium, the Czech Republic, the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and Hawaii, before crossing mainland USA from Los Angeles to New York, and returning to London.

The trip follows the rules set by the Guinness World Records on what constitutes a round the world trip, with the addition that Quest must only fly on low-cost carriers and in economy seats only.

Over the course of the trip, Quest interviews a number of airline CEOs, including AirAsia’s Tony Fernandes, and explores the different inflight services provided by airlines. At each location, Quest is set challenges, such as trying a local delicacy or visiting a famous landmark.

This study of low cost airlines aims to show which airlines are offering both service for those travelling on business, but also on a budget.

This month, ‘Winning Post’ goes down under to the East Coast of Australia for the world renowned Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

‘Winning Post’ heads to the Group One Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes, the world’s richest 2000m-turf race. With $4 million in prize money, Sydney sees some of Australia’s best thoroughbreds descend on the state’s premier track.

In April, ‘Vital Signs with Dr. Sanjay Gupta’ examines the heart, and how technology is aiding both surgeries and transplants around the world.

‘Vital Signs’ meet Mia Gonzalez, a child who suffered breathing problems and was constantly in hospital. By the time she was four years old, doctors had solved the mystery – it was a rare heart condition.

The programme hears how risky the operation was, but how a 3D printer would ultimately provide some clarity to a complex situation.

‘Vital Signs’ learns how having an exact model of Mia’s heart allowed the surgeons in Miami to create a plan long before they operated on Mia.

‘Vital Signs’ discovers that this is just another way heart surgery is changing today.

From robotic heart surgery in Abu Dhabi, to a transplant system that keeps the heart warm and beating outside the body, technology is changing the way hearts are saved around the world.
