Voice of Travelers to Malawi
Romantic time in Malawi
I saw a documentary about Malawi and its national parks, and I decided to visit Malawi. I wanted to find a direct flight with a good ticket price. There were no such flights available from China. I postponed exploring Malawi until I found a cheap return ticket with Emirates Airlines, flying to Malawi through Dubai. I bought a ticket right away. Aboard Emirates Airlines, I got excited about my trip to Malawi. The service was great and the return ticket included a hotel in Dubai during the layover on the way to Malawi. I had a great time in Malawi. Malawi is also a very romantic place, and I met my future husband there who had the same ticket back to China as me. We will forever remember Malawi and we are thinking to visit Malawi again if we find a reasonably priced ticket.
My delayed flight to Malawi
My parents are missionaries in Malawi and I visit them quite often - any time I find a reasonable flight ticket. I found a return ticket last August which was not the cheapest, but I badly wanted to see my parents. I actually had to rebook the ticket because of very bad storms in Malawi. On the day of my flight to Malawi, the plane was delayed for eight hours. The ticket company - Kenya Airways - offered a ticket cancellation, but I instead decided to rebook the ticket for a later date. I flew to Malawi three days later and had a great time with my family.
