Ticktock. Two more hours and it's a wrap. Logging your name on SBY list or Standby rather, can stir mixed hubbub. It could be a taxing 2-4 leg turnaround or spend a layover somewhere super. Roster called. Flipping the pages of my Manual looking for FCO equals Leonardo Da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport in Rome, Italy! Packed everything on my Euro list. Arrived in the Crew Briefing Room where infos are being exchanged to check everyone's knowledge. Filipino CSD/Purser or Cabin Services Director rather, noticed that I wasn't wearing my coat! We'll be leaving in a few minutes for Cabin Preparations. I must find someone to borrow with or no go! Other crew members obliged to help, but then I ended up begging for a coat at the Grooming Department! And yes, Rome, here I come!
I guess it was a 5-6 hour flight from Doha. While on board, my fellow crew and I planned what to do once we touch down in Rome. After checking-in, we freshened up and off to scout! Pasta + Gelato = Perfect!
