I’ve simply obtained my roster for August, and it virtually looks like a traditional roster! I’m so blissful to be getting extra flights once more, because it signifies that there’s an indication of pre-pandemic life again on the horizon. It’s nonetheless positively not fully again to regular although, as we proceed to put on masks, robes and gloves onboard. I’m eagerly awaiting the day that I can put my purple lipstick again on, who would have thought!
Subsequent month I’ll be heading off to:
- CPT – Cape City, South Africa
- IST – Istanbul, Turkey (turnaround)
- DMM – Dammam, Saudi Arabia (turnaround)
- KBL – Kabul, Afghanistan (turnaround)
- TUN – Tunis, Tunisia
- GLA – Glasgow, Scotland
Cape City is considered one of my all time favorite locations on this planet, so I actually hope that I can really get pleasure from it. For the time being flights to South Africa are fairly restricted – no one is allowed to enter UAE having been in South Africa up to now 14 days, so we don’t have any passengers on the return sector. We’re additionally not at present flying to Cape City, and as of the second it’s exhibiting that we can’t depart the room on the layover there. Maintain your fingers crossed for me that it may need modified by the point I’m there, and that I’ll be capable of exit.
Following on from the flight are three turnarounds, Istanbul, Dammam, and Kabul. Istanbul is an excellent lengthy day, because it’s round 4 hours every manner, and the flight is thru the evening. Dammam is a bit shorter, roughly 1,5 hours and Kabul is round 3 hours every manner.
Subsequent up is a visit to Tunis – a brand new vacation spot for me! I really feel fairly unhappy that I almost definitely gained’t get to really see a lot of the town, because it’s at present “purple” for us – which means we’ve got to remain within the lodge room. Disgrace!
The final flight of the month is to Glasgow, once more one other layover which can almost definitely be spent within the lodge room except the UK eases restrictions. Such a disgrace after having a few months of being allowed out and about to get shut again up in resorts once more, however such is life. After all I’m grateful to have a job that I like, and nonetheless be flying, however I’d actually love to have the ability to begin spending all of my layovers exploring once more. I’ll by no means be spending the entire layover in my room once more if I’ve a selection, that’s for certain!
P.s. Observe me on Instagram, Fb & Twitter for extra day-to-day updates of the place I’m on this planet! 🙂
