All flights have started where the previous one left off.
Circled the globe more times then I care to know
Anyways, wanted to make my 250th flight special, but being in Atlanta I had already flown every long haul out of there. So my 250th ended up taking me to Washington Dulles to fly a relatively new route with United. Flight 982 Heavy non-stop to Kuwait. A country I have never flown in
Cruising FL350 a little over an hour before landing. Been a long flight.
Slowly making a decent to FL210 as the sun begins to set.
Final turn towards Kuwait, decending to 11,000.
Down to 5,000 over the Persian Gulf as we prepare to turn around for our approch to runway 33R at KWI.
Cleared for landing. Had a very smooth touchdown, arrived at the gate about 18 minutes late. Total flight time 12.5 hours. Next stop Dubai 8-)
And a quick look at my map. For some reason not all the flights are showing up. But even with 50 or so missing lines you can tell where I do most of my flying. Covered a lot of the US and many parts of Europe. Going to spend a little time here in the Middle East. Waiting on a few more airlines that will be joining the FTG this year before I head back to Asia
This map only contains the 200 most recent flights. So only my logbook shows the rest.
11 new ones joining this year and 2 going out (Aer Lingus, Varig) So by 2008 there will be over 70 airlines to choose. You have the entire OneWorld, Star, & Skyteam alliances 8-)
