I've got to ask, what took you to Kazakhstan?

marcelduchamp

I had to fly out by a specific date and the only business class award flight out of the region was from Almaty. So I thought why not make a short visit to the country. 😜

Makes sense, Mrs. WS93 is from Almaty. Hence my curiosity

Highlight: Aviation-wise, spent a couple of days in Nimes at an aerial firefighting conference, some neat stuff to see and people to talk with.

Lowlight: Getting caught up in the winter weather chaos (or more appropriately, LH chaos) in MUC a couple of weeks ago, which took 3 extra days to get home from.

All in all, a good year of travel, with a busy 2023 on the horizon!

The Sécurité Civile airbase in Nimes...lots of cool stuff on the ramp!

Going to school on the other side of the country with family spread across the United States meant that 2022 was my busiest travel year of my life. Ended up earning Platinum Pro status with American Airlines in late November with a combination of Rocketmiles, shopping portal, CC spend, and flights. Also enjoyed a 69.5% upgrade % on flights I actually took (around 76% when including flights I did not take). Looking forward to more travel in 2023.
