I just tried to book a flight to Beirut on expedia. |
|
It said "Destination Unavailable at this time." I wonder what's going on over there? :shrug:
I am so bored with my life. Any other suggestions?

It's expensive and fucking dangerous as hell, but you can fly as far as I know.
Most people drive though.

7. Interesting note about this |
|
This flight is flown by two airlines (Iraqi Airlines and Royal Jordanian)in unmarked, white aircraft, and the procedure for departure and arrival is very interesting. The aircraft flies directly above the airspace at cruising altitude (rather than a slow descent) and then spirals down over the airport. The opposite procedure is undertaken for departure. This is to avoid insurgent anti-aircraft missles. I have heard that this can be a rather unsettling experience for those who aren't expecting it.

8. Yeah corkscrew approach. |
|
It's pretty intense if you've never done it. Basically 20 minutes of tight turns and a very bumpy ride. People throw up frequently on them.

10. Sounds fun to me, provided there weren't missiles being shot at me. |
|
Then again, I often feel the need. The need for speed.
