Off to Ghana: Day 2

I have to get into the habit of actually posting things that write.

My journey started off with a 13 hour trip to Addis Ababa which is a hub for Ethiopian Airlines. When I boarded the plane I was greeted by the purser who offered me the choice of champagne, water, or orange juice and a selection of magazines. I chose the champagne and a Time magazine. At my seat was a pillow, blanket and amenity kit. I was seated at 4J.

Off to Ghana: Day 1

I’m currently at Dulles waiting to board my flight to Addis Ababa. The checkin in process for the Ethiopian airlines was surprisingly quick and easy. I thought there might be a problem since I couldn’t checkin online. The reason I couldn’t checkin online was 2 fold. My visa for Ghana had to be confirmed and probably the biggest surprise of the day, there was an equipment change. I would be flying on 787 Dreamliner.

Frankfurt/Ecuador Trip: Day 1 SEA->SFO

Airline: Alaska

Seat: 6D

Airplane: Boeing 737

My flight to Germany is departing from SFO so I had to take a positioning fly. I took advantage of one of the many sales $69 sales Alaska has on flights to San Francisco (I’m hoping this becomes the norm once Alaska closes the Virgin American deal).

I decided to take the 1:10pm flight since the flight wouldn’t be filled with many business travelers and I would have a good chance at a upgrade. Boy was I wrong…
