Common Flight Attendant problems : Layover Blues.

I’ve experienced such state a few times already. Doing circles in my hotel room like a goldfish in bowl. As it might sound funny from the outside, it isn’t for the one living it. Living this fast paced life can lead to all sorts of different behaviors and moods you never thought you’d go through. [...]

May Roster detailed… I heart Crew Schedz!

So you’ve probably guessed where I’ll be heading in May ! I didn’t expect much from Crew Scheduling this month as I was supposed to get a whole long month of reserve, homecalls and airport standby. None of that, nada, nicht, rien !! I got a full fledged roster with some nice layovers in tow [...]

What went down in Paname (slang for Paris) + VIDEO

I apologize for the lateness of this post but priorities remain priorities and things will never change : ie, blogging about me getting lost in a random part of Dubai seemed much more entertaining than my Parisian hols…Anyway… I came back from Paris, France from my little 8 day break just over a week ago [...]

In Paaaareeeeee for 8 days

Hey peeps. I’ve safely landed in Paris after some crosswinds made the approach into CDG a little more challenging for our Flight Crew. We landed with a beautiful sunset, clear skies and just the perfect spring time here. The flight over was real nice although I must say I forgot how long an hour could [...]

April Roster Detailed…

Four months into the year already. Can’t believe how fast it went since that debauchery on New Year Eve. Thankfully, I’ve recovered since and been a busy bee. As you’ve might of read already. My April roster is out, you can have all the details if you scroll down a little. I will also post [...]

366 days in the SANDPIT !

Yep, it’s official, 365 days have gone by since I landed in the middle of a desert. I have seen a viaduct being built right in front on my window, a few dozen new towers spring up, a few hundred new roads layed out, all this in the span of a little year. A year [...]

I visited Sharjah, the different way.

Plans were made late last night. We were all at the Shangri-La for yet another Moroccan restaurant and decided today was going to be spent visiting Sharjah. Quite a useless idea considering the place. It’s basically only sand, a few buildings and some hectic traffic. But since Fred (the only close mate who can borrow [...]

Quick Low-Res Teaser

READ THE FULL STORY HERE … Just a quick post to let you know that I have arrived in Mauritius after an eventful plane ride over the indian ocean (we think we’ll make it to Safar for that – Emirates’ own internal newspaper). I also have a low-res picture taken a minute ago from my [...]

Where should I go for my holidays ??

It’s been a long time coming. I am eagerly waiting for some real time off. Time I can think about ME ME ME ! I have some ideas but it’s still a draft. And lacking some good destination ideas. Maybe you could help me sketch a nice getaway. My leave starts on the 1st of [...]

Airboy does Lagos, Nigeria

I’m currently nursing my pot noodles and I’m about to dig in the curry goodness. But while the water boils I thought I’d take it to the blog and write about what went down in Lagos, Nigeria. As you may know from the few previous posts, this destination within the Emirates network is unique in [...]

IKEA / Omelettes / Plants / Lamps / Obama Speaks, the remix…

RED ALERT RED ALERT RED ALERT, awesomeness__aaaaaahhhhhh___I just fell off my beanbag__click play NOW NOW NOW NOW:
I have found a truly amazing piece of music. Some ILLUMINATED GENIUS named Jason Tyler ripped Obama’s Grant Park (Chicago, IL) election night speech into a sizzzzzzlin’ track with influences from the Daft Punk era and the 1990’s pop [...]

Blame me, not my webhost ! (For the geek in you, continued)…

Ok so yesterday I went on a rampage against my webhost blaming them for causing much disruption in the dear little life of this blog of mine. Sent numerous heated emails, always getting a polite and courteous reply back. I was being a total moron with them. But that taxi ride taught me some good [...]

Random moments caught on camera / Soiree Raclette

I have a lot of meaningless videos on hand. I heart nonsense. This is why I mixed some of them in this little clip. Most of the dialogues are in French. Shot in various places with various people. I just came back from a Soiree Raclette in 21st Century Tower where the french contingent lives. [...]

February roster details [UPDATED]

[update] : I’ve managed to swap my KUL for a Colombo. Happy days ! Short flight + layover, you can’t beat it !And also DOPPLR graciously compiled an annual report on my travels for 2008 if you care to take a look. Very insightful statistics, especially the stuff about carbon dioxyde and hummers…. DOWNLOAD HERE [...]

Airboy does Birmingham, UK.

UK flights are so random these days. We can feel the loads slip. Cabins are empty, most probably due to this economic downturn. The Pound Sterling being in the crap also helps ! People do not fly as much or think twice before booking their tickets. Especially small businesses. Leisure travel is still (from the [...]
