  • Then actually participate in loading 144 tons of emergency aid onto the plane at the Copenhagen airport
  • You’ll fly the inaugural pre-revenue flight, with the airline’s CEO, to Djibouti where you’ll help offload supplies.

In the past they’ve done relief flights with 737s.

You get to hand out with an airline CEO, on an inaugural flight, and do some good in the world while you’re at it bringing supplies to UNICEF camps for Yemeni refugees.

There are 9 or 10 seats available, the auction is running for another week, and as of now it looks like you should be able to do this all for about $1000.

The trip all takes place at the end of the month, you’re probably looking at September 23 to 27 all-in with the flight from Copenhagen to Djibouti on September 25 and the the flight back to Oslo on the 26th.
