Some trip!
What killed is that I had a guarranteed free seat on Saudi Airlines, but a week before I was to leave, they said they couldn't guarantee a seat. And, I couldn't get stuck in Saudi as I had no visa (or interest to stay there), so I bailed out, and flew Egypt Air to Cairo instead.
Same flight a few months before they put the plane in the drink, but I had a 777 instead. No alcohol served for 11 hour flight, but all the passengers had bottles and passed them around!
I really want to see Lebanon, Jordan, Oman and Israel.
