I want to fly on an alternative airline now.

You should try flying on My Dad's Airline.

I'd use college, but what's the difference?

I like a little bit of variation.

College in the UK is different.

Are there any airlines in the world which still fly DC-3's?

I got to go on one of those in Mexico back in the 80's, from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido. Going over that 11,000-foot mountain range (barely!) was a bit of a thrill...lol.

College is from 16-18, between school and university. Owen is from the UK, where that definition is in use (and he actually goes to UEA - University of East Anglia).

Here in the US, a college is essentially a small university, or technical school. A university is usually larger and offers graduate degrees and research programs, etc. Sometimes a college will "graduate" to university status, once they get big enough.

Alaska has an airline that flies Dc-3's.
