At the second flights to South Africa are fairly restricted \u2013 no person is allowed to enter UAE having been in South Africa prior to now 14 days, so we don\u2019t have any passengers on the return sector. We\u2019re additionally not at the moment flying to Cape Town, and as of the second it\u2019s displaying that we can&#8217;t go away the room on the layover there. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it might need modified by the point I\u2019m there, and that I\u2019ll be capable to exit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following on from the flight are three turnarounds, Istanbul, Dammam, and Kabul. Istanbul is a brilliant lengthy day, because it\u2019s round 4 hours every method, and the flight is thru the evening. Dammam is a bit shorter, roughly 1,5 hours and Kabul is round 3 hours every method.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Next up is a visit to Tunis \u2013 a brand new vacation spot for me! I really feel fairly unhappy that I most certainly received\u2019t get to truly see a lot of the town, because it\u2019s at the moment \u201cred\u201d for us \u2013 which means now we have to remain within the resort room. Shame!<\/p>\n<p>The final flight of the month is to Glasgow, once more one other layover which is able to most certainly be spent within the resort room until the UK eases restrictions. Such a disgrace after having a few months of being allowed out and about to get shut again up in accommodations once more, however such is life. Of course I\u2019m grateful to have a job that I really like, and nonetheless be flying, however I\u2019d actually love to have the ability to begin spending all of my layovers exploring once more. I\u2019ll by no means be spending the entire layover in my room once more if I&#8217;ve a selection, that\u2019s for positive!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"114\" height=\"84\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7801 p3_pinterest_hover_img lazy\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/thedubaidiaries.me\/2021\/07\/27\/august-roster-5\/\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/thedubaidiaries.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Signature-small-icon-1.png?ssl=1\" data-pin-description=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>P.s.
