Flight #9 - the female entrepreneur

Annie's was her name and as fast as I wrote that only men talk to you on flights I realise that I have to eat my words.

I was flying from Heathrow terminal 3 to Arlanda Stockholm on SAS and it was a Sunday evening. The woman that sat down next to me looked to me to be a politician.

I thought she was probably a feminist for some reason or an extremely strong woman. She was nicely dressed and quite commanding.

Just before take off she put her head in her hands and said oh no. She had forgot her iPhone charger. I offered to charge her phone on the flight as I was working on my laptop anyway.

So we got to talking. Great conversation. She was no politician. She was a female entrepreneur. Smart woman. She had started her own Company dealing with company laws. Employment law etc over cultures.

She was very encouraging to me. Asked me what I wanted to do. Talked bout her son and what he does and just told me to keep smiling. So I have and will!!!

Flight #6 - the lumberjack

On Monday i flew Arlanda to Helsinki.

This time I sat next to a Swede. I could tell because I saw his Swedish drivers license and he was reading a Swedish newspaper.

Later in the flight he took out a magazine and although I don't see the title of the mag I did see that every article article was about lumber/timber/ wood.

He was quite a well dressed semi casual looking dude. Definitely in the business of wood rather than a lumber jack.

Flight #5 in 2012

So the guy I sat to on the flight from LHR terminal 5 to Arlanda Stockholm was a tall tall tall guy who could barely fit in the seat he was that tall.

He had a sailing/ skiing jacket and was quite a sporty type. He was working on a presentation the whole trip about sales and team work. To me he seemed to be a motivational/ sales trainer.

We didn't speak many words together as I slept most of the flight. Flight was delayed and only got into Stockholm at 0015.

More news and an update of flights 1-4 soon
