my favourite, but I was fascinated by the desert city of Al Ain. It is built on an oasis, like the kind that you read about in storybooks. You get there by driving well over 100km down a road through open desert with endless sand dunes, then suddenly there is grass, palm trees, and even more strangely, cattle grazing (apparently made possible by an irrigation system over 3,000 years old). The place is boiling hot and well off the beaten track, but you get a taste of the real culture of old Arabia here.</p><p><strong>The one item that I couldn’t fly without and why… </strong>A difficult one to answer as I usually go to sleep as soon as the cabin door closes. However, I never check in online unless I absolutely must, and I usually dress as smartly as my wardrobe will allow as I still hold on to the belief that one day, I’ll be offered a free upgrade. It hasn’t happened yet, mind</p><p><strong>The best thing about aviation is… </strong>Whenever I look at an aircraft, I have a sense of wonder about how such a thing can get into the sky and hold pressure for hours on end, multiple times every day and be reliable for years on end.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1690221198888 vc_row-has-fill"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left"><figure class="wpb_wrapper vc_figure"><div class="vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_rounded vc_box_border_grey"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI0ODAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjQwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNDgwIDY0MCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" decoding="async" class="vc_single_image-img " data-src="https://www.aviationbusinessnews.com/resources/uploads/2023/02/IMG_20220606_114045_694-480x640.webp" width="480" height="640" alt="IMG_20220606_114045_694" title="IMG_20220606_114045_694" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="vc_single_image-img " src="https://www.aviationbusinessnews.com/resources/uploads/2023/02/IMG_20220606_114045_694-480x640.webp" width="480" height="640" alt="IMG_20220606_114045_694" title="IMG_20220606_114045_694" /></noscript></div></figure></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-9"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " ><div class="wpb_wrapper"><h3>Jonathan Heather, Digital Sales & Marketing Executive</h3><p><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1f5570717e6b777e7131577a7e6b777a6d5f6d7a7e736d7a6c6f70716c7a727a7b767e317c7072"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a2e8cdccc3d6cac3cc8ceac7c3d6cac7d0e2d0c7c3ced0c7d1d2cdccd1c7cfc7c6cbc38cc1cdcf">[email protected]</span></a></p><p><strong>My favourite city to visit so far….</strong> <span class="ui-provider ix b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak" dir="ltr">Seattle, Washington.
