Tareq is upgradable!!

So it is actually my flight to out-of-no-where flight to Riyadh which I had to take to renew my visa. When you are tight-on budget, you are usually looking for every and each possible way to save money and cut down on expenses, but I never thought that my Emirates frequent flyer program will come to the rescue again. With the citi-bank credit card that I applied for, I was entitled for 40,000 miles which will cost me actually half the actual cost of the ticket. And guess what, book flight online, check-in online and check in, in the airport quickly then going to the flight to be shocked as I give my board that I have a free upgrade! WOW, that I did not expect..

Well, it's a good experience, who thought that the least you can spend, the higher you can get. And the staff as always, friendly and nice; and their team leaders are just as great.

Got to meet Mr. Samantha, or at least that's how they called her when she got her free upgrade as well :)  Anyway, she was in front of me sleeping most of the time and I thought I wanted to go back to blogging again to write about the 101 things you have to do before you die :)

Get a first class ticket when you are broke!
