How Safe Is Your Airline?

I'm currently in Cusco, Peru and last night at 9 pm, my flight to Lima got rescheduled. So all my plans had to change for today. Most would've been upset, but I just pivoted.

With the pivot, I was able to:
- Book a private tour for $30
- Check out three cool restaurants
- Have lunch with a friend
- Create 3 IG Reel ideas
- Gain new thirst trap pics

If your "best plan" is too rigid, you're only setting yourself up to be disappointed.

Maybe this section should've been the main topic of the email. Back to the main topic.

Is your airline safe? How many accidents are on file?

I've made jokes about flying on certain airlines like *cough* Spirit *cough*, but most airlines are safe.

Next question: How do you know if an airline is safe?

I use this site to check an airline's safety record: Airline List

This site also lists the safety record of the airport and aircraft in rotation.

Don't forget that the most dangerous part of flying is driving to the airport.

Honestly, safety is not high on the priority list because I have over two thousand hours of flight time on MS Flight Simulator. So I'm basically a seasoned pilot.

P.S. I still won't fly Spirit!

Is safety a major concern in the airline that you choose?

Cocktail of the Week

The Piña Colada (which literally means "strained pineapple") was created in the 1950s and has been the official drink of Puerto Rico since 1978. Although traditionally blended, I understand if you go for the lazy option.

- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz coconut cream
- 3 oz pineapple juice
- 1 cup of crushed ice
- 1 pineapple slice

Just put all ingredients together (except the pineapple slice) and blend (or stir) and serve!

Random Travel Thought

Each time I travel, I feel like a door is opening up ever so slightly. Not sure what’s behind it, but I’m excited.
