"Have you thought about calling your travel blog 'Ben Lee and the Jets?'" - James M.

So I have a flying problem...I mean passion. I did 100+ flights annually for the last few years. However and in no small part due to a courageous young woman named Greta I’ve decided to re-evaluate my ways. In 2019 I’ve cut my flights by 40%. That’s still a lot, but I figured it is a good start.

Here some photos and random thoughts, mostly for myself. You can see my flight history here.

Norwegian 737 MAX 8 Delivery Flight BFI-OSL

June 30, 2017

Norwegian is the 2nd airline to take delivery of Boeing's new 737 MAX aircraft. Normally when an airline receives the first aircraft of a new type, they have a small ceremony with the airline's execs, along with the manufacture's execs, before flying back to the home base, sometimes with journalists in tow.

Norwegian has been partnering with UNICEF for a while, and this time Norwegian decided to auction off 12 seats on the delivery flight of their 737 MAX 8 to the general public. I was lucky enough to snag one of the seats on the flight and got to experience the delivery flight first hand.
