Well, I arrived at JFK tired and somewhat emotional. This was the last leg about to start and it had taken so much planning and I was so excited in the build-up that I found it quite emotional that this was now the last leg.

The crew were easy-going and professional. I like Finnair. With its white and dark blue livery it is subdued and … Continue reading RTW: Day 2: Málaga to Helsinki →
