Well hiya there \u2013 and welcome again to my weblog! It\u2019s definitely been some time since I\u2019ve up to date something on right here, and this will probably be my first submit of 2021, oops! I by no means meant to go so quiet, however as you’ll be able to think about, I\u2019ve not been flying very a lot. Slowly issues are beginning to choose up and I\u2019m seeing increasingly more flights on my roster, however since we’re nonetheless not allowed to depart the resort on our layovers, I don\u2019t have an entire lot to replace you on!<\/p>\n
Flights are progressively getting again to regular, though we nonetheless should put on our full PPE (masks, gloves, robe and visor) and naturally passengers nonetheless should put on a masks. More locations are opening up although which is a superb signal, and I\u2019m hopefully that ultimately issues will get again to regular. Let me let you know, I\u2019ll by no means spend one other layover in my resort room once more!<\/p>\n
Believe it or not, this month I’ve an *virtually* regular roster \u2013 fairly a couple of flying hours, which makes for a pleasant change. Especially since we receives a commission relying on how a lot we fly; it\u2019s been over a 12 months since a standard wage.<\/p>\n
So if all the things goes to plan and no flights get eliminated (fingers crossed!) in May I\u2019ll be heading to:<\/p>\n
- \n
- JFK<\/strong> \u2013 New York, USA<\/li>\n
- AMM<\/strong> \u2013 Amman, Jordan (turnaround)<\/li>\n
- HAM<\/strong> \u2013 Hamburg, Germany<\/li>\n
- BP<\/strong> \u2013 Business Promotion Event<\/li>\n
- DMM<\/strong> \u2013 Dammam, Saudi Arabia (turnaround)<\/li>\n
- LUN-HRE<\/strong> \u2013 Lusaka, Zambia \u2013 Harare, Zimbabwe<\/li>\n
- IKA<\/strong> \u2013 Tehran, Iran<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/figure>\n
I used to be truly fairly excited after I bought my roster, as while I’ve been flying a good quantity the previous few months, that is the busiest roster I\u2019ve seen for the reason that pandemic!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Starting off with a visit to New York, certainly one of my favourites. We\u2019ve modified resort areas so I\u2019ll be admiring the Brooklyn Bridge on the drive over, and ordering one thing scrumptious to eat to my room.<\/p>\n
Next up is a turnaround to Amman, which is round 3 hours every means. This is a pleasant afternoon departure which suggests I don\u2019t have to stand up too early, beautiful!<\/p>\n
Then I’ve a cargo flight to Hamburg. I\u2019ve achieved a few cargo journeys \u2013 they\u2019re nice enjoyable because it\u2019s one thing very totally different to what we normally do. All of the economic system seats are faraway from the cabin and it\u2019s full of containers of cargo as an alternative, so it\u2019s not a full freighter plane however it\u2019s nonetheless totally different to a standard flight. I’ve a layover there though as soon as once more I gained\u2019t be capable of do a lot.<\/p>\n
After that’s one thing I haven\u2019t seen for some time \u2013 a enterprise promotion occasion! My final occasion was the Dubai Duty Free Tennis in February 2021, and I ought to discover out the small print for this one a couple of days earlier than.<\/p>\n
Following on from that I’ve one other turnaround to Dammam, a fast one at round 1 hour flight time every means. Straight after that could be a vacation spot I\u2019ve by no means truly flown to earlier than \u2013 Lusaka & Harare! We fly to Lusaka however keep on floor on the plane, after which it\u2019s onwards to Harare for the layover. I\u2019m hoping that since we are able to\u2019t depart the resort that I\u2019ll at the very least be capable of use the pool and get some sunshine, let\u2019s see!<\/p>\n
Last up is one other turnaround, this time to Tehran in Iran. Whilst in a standard month I wouldn\u2019t be significantly excited in regards to the variety of turnarounds on my roster, lately I\u2019m completely happy to get as many flying hours as I can.<\/p>\n
Travel definitely isn\u2019t wherever near being again to pre-pandemic instances, and realistically I don\u2019t assume anybody is aware of when will probably be. I do know I’m fortunate to nonetheless have my job, as so lots of my associates and colleagues sadly have been made redundant this previous 12 months, and I\u2019m grateful for that day by day. For now, I\u2019m attempting to get out and revel in Dubai as a lot as I can \u2013 restrictions have eased right here and while we nonetheless should put on a masks always (together with whereas open air) most issues corresponding to eating places, outlets and gymnasiums have been open for some time.<\/p>\n
