The Satre addendum

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Nev

Hell is other people . . . on a Ryanair flight. I dislike flying with Ryanair intently. The entire process is unpleasant — from booking on the website to the flight itself. The ghastly advert-ridden livery offends me. Their insistence … Continue reading →

Tokyo – London – Edinburgh (6,622 miles)

Posted on July 22, 2008 by Nev

I was quite pleased to leave Japan behind. Don’t get me wrong: I quite like it there but, after nigh-on three months of living out of a bag, I was ready to go home. I was also a little fed … Continue reading →

I have to say that I was surprised by just how much traffic was on the M5 freeway in to Sydney at 0530 and glad that I allowed plenty of time to get to the airport. I caught up on … Continue reading →

Posted on June 9, 2008 by Nev

Toronto – Vancouver (2088 miles)

Posted on May 22, 2008 by Nev

Isn’t technology wonderful? I was worried about missing the Champions League final and probably would have had to change my flight had Liverpool beaten Chelsea in the semi but it turns out that I needn’t have worried. WestJet had ESPN … Continue reading →

New York – Toronto (343 miles)

Posted on May 8, 2008 by Nev

Despite the minor hassle of being sent back to security when I tried to board the plane at Newark the flight was fairly uneventful. I couldn’t quite make out Niagara Falls on approach to Toronto but hopefully I’ll get to … Continue reading →

We just don’t talk anymore

Posted on December 10, 2007 by Nev

Flying back from a long weekend in Dublin I was delighted to find a vacant seat on an emergency exit row with extra leg room, which I always appreciate being quite tall. The seat was between two middle-aged people, a … Continue reading →
