Welcome to Dublin, Ireland! We’re at the 2nd Terminal and it’s almost sunset. We’re gonna be taking an over-night flight to Dubai! @nabilk11_777flyer summon. Here’s our plane for today, a stunning B77W.
We’re living rich today as we’re seated in first class next to the cockpit and it’s time for take-off. Bye bye Dublin!
We turn right and snap a pic of Dublin’s airport from above, it looks like a beautiful city from above!
We cross into the land of tea and biscuits, the king and Big Ben. The UK and reach cruising altitude at FL350. I’m very excited for this airline’s great service, after that we’re going to wake up over the Persian Gulf!
Good morning! I’ve just been woken up and immediately received some coffee. We’ve just left Bahrain airspace and will be landing shortly.
Welcome to Dubai! A very smooth flight and a short layover next as we only have about 2h and 25 min till our next flight departs.

Made it to my connecting flight to Male! We stay on the same type of aircraft the B77W.
And we’re off to Male, a nice departure off of runway 30R and some scenic views of Dubai and its surroundings on departure.
We hit cruise again this time flying Southeast and over the desert-y country of Oman
We begin our approach over the way too beautiful Maledivean waters, thank you @Dimitrios_TA for opening my eyes to a new part of the world.
BUTTER!!! We’ve landed on runway 18 in this beautiful part of the world! We have a hotel booked and we’ll be staying here for 11 days (If you don’t get it , I’m taking a break to go on IRL holiday)
Thank you @Dimitrios_TA for you request of Male and next stop is @kadengg ‘s request of Nadi , Fiji
Stay tuned and send your requests!

Extra rule!!!
To make this challenge more fun. I can’t fly through an airport twice unless its a recommendation.
What this means:
If someone suggests Atlanta and then someone suggest another route which happens to fly via Atlanta I have to find another route. Will this back-fire? Absolutely. Do I want it to back-fire? Yes.

Welcome to the Maldives! The holiday went brilliantly but all good things come to an end so we’re back at the airport. Here’s our plane, the Singapore Airlines A350-900, normally there’s a 787 but this evening we get the A350.
V1, ROTATE! We lift off of runway 36 and embark on our 4h journey! The moon in the background.
We bank right and view the islands where we’d been for 11 days.
We have reached cruising altitude at 39000ft and so I’ll be getting some rest since it’s midnight. Good night!
Good morning. It’s 6AM and we’ve just been woken up by a PA saying that we’ve begun our descent into Singapore somewhere over Malaysia.
Our final turn in the air before we land in Singapore.

Unfortunately, I overslept our arrival so there are no photos of our arrival. Here’s our second ride for today, a Fiji Airways A330.
We’re sitting in the seat 12K in Economy Class. Here’s our view of these beautifully painted engines.
Our 2nd V1 ROTATE! of today. We lift off of Singapore and see these beautiful crystal clear waters on departure from runway 20C.
We reach cruising altitude over the Java Sea. As I mentioned I woke up when it was time to de board so no more pics.
Thank you @kadengg for your request of Nadi. Next stop is @Riley_Dupont ‘s request of Atlanta,Georgia.
Thanks! Good bye!
