Flights

In an act of bravado, I decided to not take my winter jacket and instead travel light as it is currently 29 degrees in Beirut. However, at 5 a.m. in Umeå, it was definitely not 29 degrees as I waited outside for the airport bus and then later to board SAS Boeing 737-700 “Tyra Haraldsdatter”. Now at Arlanda, I am slowly thawing over some coffee and Olga Togarczuk’s appropriately entitled book Flights. In 40 minutes, Ally will be here and we will head over to the Turkish Airlines check-in counter in Terminal 5.
