List of my travels in an aircraft or a cruise ship

A flight is being considered distinct whenever it's preceded by a takeoff. Aircraft models are indicative of only the broader series. Entries in italics are confirmed flights, yet to commence. Entries in blue highlight are tentative, subject to change. A S? sign after an aircraft/airline means that I'm not 100% sure about its safety.

  5. Wrong.

    Update 5 (22-Dec-09): Due to non-issuance of Dubai Visa (due to non-Emirates flight out of Dubai), I've canceled Qatar Airways flights and booked Emirates flight to Cairo. Made corresponding updates to the list. Firefighting for Visa is on...

  12. Updated blog post title to include luxury cruise ships too, since these are no less than an aircraft. Rather these are much more.
