Thread: Hello all - new to the site

Hello all. I have found your board after doing a bit of research into a trip I'm planning.

I've worked in the airline sector for over 12 years now and ever since starting in the world of airlines and aviation I've had an ambition to non-rev around the world on back-to-back flights. I know this is a little crazy and hardly a relaxing way to spend 5 days but it's an itch I need to scratch.
After years of wanting to do it, with babies, life and a small thing called "a pandemic" getting in the way I have finally found some time to do this trip this year.
My trip is a mix of circumnavigating the globe mixed with flying airlines and trypes I've yet to fly on.
From Scotland I'm planning on positioning to MUC to fly the LH A346 to LAX as they have brought them out of retirement and I never got to fly the type before they retired them at the start of 2020.
From there I'll do LAX-SYD on DL A359, SYD-DXB on EK A388 and return home to Scotland from Dubai.
Has anyone ever done anything like this before and what are the mentioned airlines like with other airline Non-revs?
Looking forward to chatting to other like-minded airline employees. For info I work on the ground as a station ops/customer services duty manager.
