Biskra, Algeria

Airbus A319 that I took to go to the middle of nowherenessland...

Somewhere in the middle of the Algerian desert there is, in between two sand dunes and a few palm trees, an "airport". That's where I was yesterday.
After a nice long night of sleep (nearly thirteen hours) I can tell you more about my third flight. I slept so much because yesterday I had to wake up at 2:50am. Another one of those early wake-ups. I'm almost going to get used to waking up so early. Headed to the airport at 4... It only took me thirty minutes to get there, so there I was, at 4:30, parked and all ready to go... I sat in my car for more or less twenty minutes then decided to go to our briefing room. Remember that it is a Sunday morning. Obviously it was totally empty! To have access to the room, one must enter a code. Only doing an internship, Human Ressources decided we didn't need to know the code, so I waited for another fifteen minutes for somebody to come and open the door...
This morning's flight was an Airbus A319. Max capacity is 144 passengers. Going there we only had 35 passengers, so it was particularly quiet, especially since it was so early. We served them breakfast which only took a couple of minutes then I sat in the fore galley reading the newspaper. The trip back was more crowded, we took in 125 passengers, but it was still fairly easy. After having been on a A321 with 200 plus passengers, the rest is easy! We even landede in Paris ten minutes ahead of schedule which is rarely enough to be underlined!!!

Next flight is Wednesday and I will be going to Bejaia, Algeria. Don't bother asking where it is 'cause I don't have a clue. Then God invented Google and since then, we can find everything everywhere... (that's actually a good line for an ad... ;-)

Goodbye, and thank you for flying with me
