When in tenth grade, Janni at age 16 dropped out of school and started working as a messenger girl at the travelling agency.

According to the General Manager at the time, Knud Heinesen, had this never happened if Janni had listened to him instead, and merged or cooperated with Copenhagen-based Sterling Airways instead.

And in 1996 was Spies Rejser sold to the British travel company Airtours while Conair merged with Scanair into Premiair, changing the name to Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia, which today is Sunclass Airlines A/S.
