SAS

 It's been a while since I posted, life has moved on, parents are both dead, a brother who does not speak to me anymore and nephews who have followed in his footsteps.

I love my Job as Purser on SAS flights based at Heathrow, started November 2022 and a years has gone by, amazing passengers, fabulous crews, lovely trips and decent salary.

I fly to one of the main Scandinavian cities on day one, either Oslo, Copenhagen or Stockholm and based there for five days flying most days 2-5 sectors per day, mostly short but we do have a Las palmas from Stockholm which is 5hrs 30 minutes each way, not my favourite, I prefer the shorter 45min-1hour sectors, UmeƄ and LuleƄ are one of my favourite night stops, northern Sweden and in winter it is like a Christmas card setting, lots of snow and a great Christmas atmosphere, downside it is very very cold and layers of uniform, coats, scarves and gloves are necessary especially at 5am in the morning when its Brutally cold!

Daylight is limited, its get light very late and dark very early so you are lucky if you get 5 hours daylight per day in certain parts of Scandinavia.

Hotels are compact, warm and cosy and I love nothing better than coming back after a long day and crawling under the hotel duvet and watching TV, I do watch TVMUCHO on my iPad so I can access most of the UK channels and some of the less popular channels so I keep up to date with my soaps and dramas, time permitting and I do like to get a good nights sleep before an early start.

 Millions spent by BA to a top London designer to design a new uniform and it is almost identical to the 1980's Pontins Bluecoat uniform.

I have actually seen it personally and it is dreadful, even a captain at security in Gothenburg said the quality is horrendous!!!
