Flying to Kuwait

October 12, 2007 6 Comments

I’m in the middle of a nine-day military charter in and out of Kuwait. The way it works here is that we don’t find out about these trips until the last minute. So, to get one on my schedule is not easy. I’ve been flying for 11 years but at this airline that is junior! The most senior flight attendants on this trip have 35 years or more of flying! God help me if I stay that long.

Anyway, the trip is nice because we fly to Kuwait twice to bring troops in and out. Between those flights, we layover in Amsterdam. I’m currently on a 3 day layover in Amsterdam! Nowadays, that is very uncommon for a layover.

Our time in Kuwait is very short. I don’t think the airline wants us there too long for safety sake. We get in with just enough time to shop for pashminas near the hotel and sleep.

Here are a few photos of Kuwait. We’re not allowed to take photos at the airport for security reasons.
