Amateur Traveler episode 83. Today the Amateur Traveler goes to Istanbul.

I got my bags packed on a roll.

I'm heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good in my passport photo

15 hour flight oh I don't think I'll ever be coming home.

You know I love it.

I got to see one more cathedral.

I got to sit in one more cafe.

I know that I should be heading home but maybe not maybe night to the day.

Welcome to the amateur traveler I'm your host Chris Christensen.

I just have one news story for you today and this one was sent in by Tim from the

twisted wrist.com Canada's motorcycle podcast. It's a new story that comes from the

Toronto Star.

A first-class passenger on a flight from New Delhi to London awoke to find a corpse of a woman who

had died in the economy cabin being placed in the seat next to him British Airlines said

Monday. The flight economy section was full and the cabin crew needed to move the

woman and her grieving family out of that compartment to give them some privacy.

The first class passenger Paul Trinder told the Sunday Times newspaper that he was sleeping

during a February flight from India and woke up with the crew placed the dead woman in the empty seat next to him.

I didn't have a clue what was going on. The stewards just plunked the body down without saying a thing,

the newspaper quoted Trender saying, I remember looking at this frail sparrow-like woman and thinking,

she was very ill. When I asked what was going on, I was shocked to hear, she was dead.

Well, at least you don't have to worry about your seatmate talking too much.
