This is a last minute trip to see my ailing grandma - who raised me. I would like to imagine that through her blessings I got this free ticket to go see her. As a result of this last minute planning I had the take the first available flights and it turned out to be Cleveland - Philly - LGA (overnight) - JFK - Dubai - Calcutta (India).

The Free Ticket
Earlier while flying from New York to Calcutta, India I was asked if I would sit out that flight and take one the following night. In turn they gave me a free round trip ticket for the same exact sector to be used within 12 months. So, I took this flight using that free ticket. I did not believe it would be "free" because there are always some hidden cost etc but to my amazement - I didn't have to pay a penny. No tax either! Thank you .

The Trip
This trip took me three days to complete. I had to physically go to the Emirates New York office to pick the ticket up so an extra day was used up. The Cleveland to Philly sector was uneventful but once in Philly we ran into a lot of problems with delays (as you will see). Delays upon touchdown to the gate, delays once we boarded the flight....however all this meant a beautiful approach over New York City.

We had by mistake washed the voucher for my free ride - so I was scared they won't accept it and issue me the ticket....but....

This video also covers the things I did while on the various flights and Dubai Airport including sleeping cubes, showers...sprawling across empty seats on A380 and more

This video is dedicated to the woman who raised me - my Mamoni, and I will forever miss her. Hope you enjoy the ride and see you all next time!
