Great photos. Nice report. Not a place I'm looking to go any time soon, but I'm glad some one is going there. And certainly a couple of airlines we don't see here very often. :-)

Yes, very unique and different. Quite frankly, I'm almost bored of all the F class pics. Thoroughly enjoyed the pics, your commentary, and the history lesson. A job very well done!

Excellent TR. A big and welcome relief from ad nauseam (sic) the pictures of the same FC lounges and FC lie flat seats. Thank you.

Excellent report and pictures. I doubt I'll ever make it there - never say never even as a lady - but I love to read and see images of life there.

Ah, so those wooden sticks ("miswak") are common in Afghanistan too.

What was that orange drink in the final picture on Safi Airways? Looks delicious!

Great report, beautiful photos, and reminds me of my own trip to Kabul in 2005. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful, insightful trip report. Personally, I prefer stories and photos like these than just another UA or BA J thing from ol' LHR or JFK.
