Off to Buenos Aires

Let it go
And I’m off to Buenos Aires. It’s bit confusing because my reservation says 8.25 but the plane always left an hour earlier… maybe it’s due to the summer time change and the plane arriving earlier now from Istanbul…? I better get to the airport early! Here are the flight statistics: Flight 5 to Buenos Aires  […] Read More

Only a slight change in itinerary, but the compensation package was nice: 600 Euro transferred onto my card. My Round-the-world-ticket […] Read More
