Layovers

Of course our layovers were one of the aims we joined the airline for.
Favourite spots were the big cities like Paris, London, New York or Bangkok. We had outside bases in these cities too, so crew was not confined to remain living in Saudi Arabia in the compound. It was a good way to extend our horizons.


We stayed in lovely hotels, a few shown below in the following clips:
