We wanted to fly as much as possible on standby (discount tickets for airline employees) This means that just before the flight closes, they count the remaining available seats in the airplane. If there are enough seats, you board – not enough seats, you stay and set up new plans.

Luxembourg-Zurich was our first leg, and here already we were lucky as we got the last four seats! Arriving in Zurich, we moved to the next gate, where an Emirates Boeing 777 was supposed to fly us to Dubai during the night…
