There are no direct flights anywhere, any more. To get anywhere you have to go via some godawful hideous arab place, or worse, Johannesburg.
Fúck my luck.

That's really quite cool by Austin standards.
v was bemoaning how she's not allowed to go to Amerikay the other night. That's just come back to me.

I'd quite like to do a driving trip to California, and I'm mad to see the bit that was in 'Fletch'. But apart from those trips, NO WAY.
New Orleans, maybe.

no longer flies direct to Dar Es Salaam, Harare, Lusaka or Gabarone?
It's a nonsense, an absolute nonsense, and a scandal.

I've got a cheeky 10 days or so in October going spare. Time for a quick safari. Except that it takes f**king forever to get there. I don't want to go to f**king Dubai! (ever). I assume these ayrab types won't serve you booze on board? We might as well go back to the sailing ship.

Yep....my boss had this when he worked in Melbourne and had to get to Durban.
Had to fly to Dubai / Joburg then Durban and back again.
Found the whole fairly surprising....thought you get direct flights anywhere.

Things got better in the 50s and 60s, and are now worse again.

And the chance of free upgrades (never happens).
And a bigger luggage alowance. Big f**king wow.
Emirates are starting to piss me off. Their 777s are complete ****, terrible seats.
380s are great but you are only on that until dubai.
