SAA made me check one of my bags. Hate waiting for it, this is why I don't usually check bags.

Empty seat next to me. Score! Powering off for Dakar, then Johannesburg.

@matigo I have a shedload of podcasts to listen to. And pinball machines. Lots of pinball machines.

@matigo if I had any say, I'd be flying business. But, sadly, I don't.

It's looking like I won't have someone sitting in the seat next to me. Thank goodness.

Waiting to take off. Lots of Star Alliance partners.: http://instagram.com/p/u9BjGcLEUK/ #instagram http://osm.org/go/ZZW8pW4w

Cattle class on South Africa Airlines. Two 8 hour flights of this. Ugh.: http://instagram.com/p/u9AIGrrERV/ #instagram http://osm.org/go/ZZW8pW4w

Waiting on my dull ass to board this flight.: http://instagram.com/p/u887ZmrEab/ #instagram http://osm.org/go/ZZW8pW4w

Wheels down IAD

Alrighty then. Off to Dullas en-route to South Africa.
