The last flight before my annual leave was taking me to the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa. It had been such a long time since I was last in Cape Town, and I couldn’t wait to be back and eat a beautiful dinner with a glass of South African red. The only…

Carefree Casablanca
An early morning departure out of Dubai at 03:10am with eight hours over to Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport in Morocco. I’d only been here a couple months back but didn’t do much on the layover with it being ramadan in comparison to my first time in Casablanca. By the time we got to the…
Zimbabwe: A Stroll Through The Savannah
Back to Africa again for me but this time to the destination of Harare in Zimbabwe. It was around three years when I was last there and took a trip out to Lake Chivero, and I was looking forward to heading back and exploring more. It was a morning departure from Dubai and a long…
Endearing Entebbe
As my flight coming back from Hong Kong was late landing back into Dubai, it resulted in me being pulled off my original flight to London Heathrow and been given some reserve days. I was expecting a turn around but was so happily pulled out for a flight to Entebbe in Uganda. Departing Dubai at…

Myself and my flat mate Grace had both randomly been assigned some days off at the beginning of July and we thought it was time we tick off a destination that is not achievable on a layover to us. Researching into all options that were both flight time and flight load dependent and also within…
Saddling Up In South Africa
As I previously mentioned in my February Roster I was given two back to back turn arounds to Muscat which I was trying to swap for ANY layover. As I always prefer getting to visit somewhere and the two short 45 minute flights didn’t rack up many flying hours. It honestly takes me longer to…
Spectacular South Africa
Bringing me back from my leave was a trip to Cape Town, which is a favourite destination of mine and one that I had been looking forward to since I saw it on my November roster. We flew out of Dubai International Airport at 4am and landed 9 hours 30 minutes later into South Africa…
A Little Layover In Luanda
Back to work after some nice time off, and it was to a new country for myself – Angola! Departing Dubai at 10am, it was 8 hours over to Quatro de Fevereiro Airport in Luanda, Angola. One thing, that I was NOT expecting from Angola is that they speak Portuguese! This is because Angola was…
