Ever since I studied abroad in Spain – way back in 2011 – I’ve always wanted to go to Morocco. This year, we finally made the trip!
We flew from JFK to Marrakech via American Airlines with a short layover in Madrid. The Madrid Barajas Airport happens to be my favorite airport in the entire world – beautiful, airy, with so much sunlight you feel like you could be outside and a massive selection of cafes and restaurants. The transfer between domestic and international flights is a bit of a hike, but I could use the walking after sitting in the middle seat for 8 hours. Speaking of cramped middle seats, and speaking of flying, it is so not cool to be on a long-haul flight without a TV. Get it together, American! I was so bored. The only thing that made up for the flight was the food. I love airplane food because it comes in little packages and I love things that come in little packages. It’s very eco-unfriendly, but so are long-haul flights.
