An extraordinary 29-flight journey spanning Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, highlighted by two historic aviation milestones: the inaugural commercial flights of Etihad Airways' Airbus A380 and Qatar Airways' Airbus A350-900. Along the way, adventures included exploring Myanmar, a magical sunrise balloon ride over the temples of Bagan, and a safari in Botswana. A remarkable combination of aviation history, cultural discovery, and some wonderfully unconventional routing.
