replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet I did. I've got some status with Air Canada and South African Air is a partner in Star Alliance. So I got picked to take this poor guy's seat. #travelskills

Also did a long flight LAX to Santiago, Chile, but someone had a heart attack onboard and we had to land in El Salvador. Spent 4 hours there because you have to have someone from the your airline to refuel. #travelskills

replying to @united @united TIP When flying to Australia, you might skip Christmas altogether since you cross the international date line and lose an entire day. #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united TIP The week between Christmas and NYE is usually one of the most expensive times to travel since everyone has days off. If you want to pay less and be somewhere less crowded, wait until a week after NYE to go. #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @theplanetd I didn't quite love my first long flight - felt rather uneasy as I got off, but a road trip to Stuttgart in a relative's BMW made me even sicker. Took me a few hours to recover. #TravelSkills

Currently spending winters in Dubai, since becoming an expat I’ve not had a proper winter for 10 years. In an idealworld it would be Uk summers & South African winters in the Highveld. But as son has moved to Australia now I get to split Southern Hemisphere winters #travelskills https://t.co/p2NaqwYrP5
