Day 0.

Outside Terminal at Dubai International Airport at 11:30pm, ready to begin my trip.


Queueing up to check in for my flight on Turkish Airlines. It was my first time flying them since travelling to Copenhagen in 2015.


My original plans for the Eid Al Adha long weekend was to head to North Korea to attend the Wonsan Air Show. Four weeks before however it was unfortunately cancelled by the North Korean Preparatory Committee due to “current geopolitical circumstances".

I had researched and made rough plans for a trip to the Balkans previously, so with the air show cancellation I quickly fine-tuned my old plans for a 6 day trip starting in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and finishing in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Grabbing some dinner at the Marhaba lounge.


For my flight to Sarajevo I transited via Istanbul's Atatürk Airport (IST) and then returning via Dubrovnik Airport (DBV).


Heading down the jet bridge for boarding.


Watching the whimsical safety video featuring Zach King, an American YouTube personality.


Light meal served soon after take-off.


And watching the film, Life, an outer space B-grade science fiction horror.
