AirLapse on Swebbtv! My footage from the first Scandinavian Airlines SAS A350-900 landing in Chicago was featured in an episode of the Swedish Web Television! Although the mention to SAS within the episode is to complain about their latest Ad campaign “What is truly Scandinavian?”, which frustrated a lot of Scandinavians, it was still a highlight for me that they decided to ask and include my footage. The ad from SAS already has 99k dislikes and they had to turn off comments!

My 2019 year in review. Reflections of the last decade of flying. I took 395 flights in total with over 250 flights in Business Class, 35 airlines, 35 aircraft types and 5 continents (all of them except Africa). My most popular flying month was definitely December (holiday time). In the process I was able to try some of the most amazing products like Lufthansa Business Class in the 747-8, Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, Delta, American Airlines, Alitalia, etc.
