Come along as I escape the unbelievably dark Swedish winter on a TUI Nordic 787 Dreamliner headed to Sal in Cape Verde (aka Cabo Verde or in Sweden, Kap Verde). This trip report is all about going to get a week of sun, but the fun starts early on this 7 hour flight from Stockholm Arlanda to Espargos in Sal as TUI's offering in their “Dreamliner Plus” cabin is a delightful surprise pretty much the whole way. Sure we’re crammed into the back of a 787 in the center section, where the 3x3x3 configuration is never all that fun, but with a nice bit of extra legroom and free delicious food plus really quite friendly cabin crew, it’s a remarkably pleasant experience and far better than I expected on a charter flight. See if you agree!

Bonus footage at the end of the southern part of Sal including its gorgeous beaches and the beautifully landscaped Hilton Sal Cabo Verde Resort. Plus my tip for the best ice cream on the island. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to like and subscribe! It really does help me reach more viewers and keep on doing this!
