Off to California (then NYC)!
Goodbye for now -10ºC and weird.
Filip, Flygvärdinna.
Hej hej allihop. De här min läxa för i kvälls svenska kursen.
(Hi everyone. Here’s my homework for tonight’s swedish class.)

This weekend GE aired a Superbowl commercial...
$1M Question
Just realised I didn’t book my return flight as originally planned. I thought I was gonna be in NY 22 Feb on a 12-hour layover, but instead I made a non-refundable booking for a 23-hour layover 21-22 Feb.
Is this a bad thing? Or a good thing?.. 50/50, Ask-The-Audience or Phone-A-Friend..
