The first leg from Fargo to Denver on United I was upgraded to first class, a nice touch for his first international trip in a long time.

Next I'm flying with Turkish Airlines on an A350 for 11 and 1/2 hours from Denver to Istanbul. An A350 900ULR can actually fly for 20 hours which is 9700 nautical miles.

Funny enough, I just drove from Grand Forks, ND to Fargo and flew to Denver only to fly right back over Grand Forks again half a day later. Right below me is Oliver working in the Fritz theatre setting up for a show that runs next week.

Istanbul is spread out and the new airport is well outside the city. Quick layover and off to Ljubjana. There were some young kids at the fence plane spotting, that brought back memories with Oliver.

My bag is lost or delayed so I filed a report. Rain is forecast for Wednesday and tomorrow potentially and clouds are on the horizon. It rained cats and dogs the last time I was here.
