ISTANBUL – TÜRKIYE (#3)
14/11/24 – 15/11/24 Unlike my experience last year, flying to Istanbul via KL, this particular journey went off without a hitch! We landed in Istanbul not long after 4pm (with my Dad in tow for another trip together!), and took the Havaist bus into the city. It was only going to be a short visit…

CAIRO – EGYPT
7/4/24 – 10/4/24 After a mad dash through Amman’s airport (leaving the domestic arrivals area, running around like a crazy person to international departures, going through security and passport control), I made it to the gate for my flight to Cairo with a few minutes to spare.

AMMAN – JORDAN
3/4/24 – 4/4/24 Amman’s main airport, Queen Alia International, is well-equipped to handle foreign arrivals, as Jordan is quickly becoming a tourism hotspot, with travellers flocking to the kingdom to visit the ancient archaeological site of Petra, and see the vast expanses of desert at Wadi Rum. This also means that the arrivals area is…
