Let me share this little story with you, perhaps it makes you look at "delay" differently.

So, what happened to me just recently, in a nutshell, was that I had an evening flight back to Brussels from Munich. It was cancelled because the company went on strike that operated my flight.

At the airport, me and another passenger from Iran were on a waiting list. I could have taken a train or rented a car but I said - I can still do that if I'm not getting on the plane after everyone  on the waiting list with VIP status were on.

Another thing was that I was unable to continue working because it had not been configured for TCP/IP - my computer was silent and so I decided to be the same.

Plan B was that I sat in the lounge with a small bottle of red wine, I tuned into my whirlpool of thoughts and took a 4 hours wait, completely connected to the very purpose of my flight and the continuation of the evening left me with one serendipity after the other.

The business man from Iran and one other passenger who got on the same flight as us started to connect.

When we finally found out that we were taken on the flight despite the fact that the missing group of 20 people had arrived from Quatar, we simply had to choose as to who would sit in the cockpit with the pilots when taking off and when landing. The pilot decided that I would get the landing part and I don't regret it.

I was above the ocean of lights, the ground looked like velvet populated with gemstones  against an orange rainbow-colored sky, two handsome pilots in front of me and  I knew that not even the sky was a limit to what is possible ...

I know I can fly !
