Driving to the airport to catch our plane from St. Denis to Diego, Madagascar, it came to our attention that the airline we were flying with, Air Madagascar, had several days prior been blacklisted. This means that the international aviation commission has deemed it an airline unfit for humans.We weren't nervous at all.
As we boarded the aircraft, Anouk jokingly asked the first flight attendant we saw, a stern woman in a red suit, whether the plane was in good working order, whether it was fit to fly, etc. The hostess looked her in the eye and said, "Honestly, I have no idea." She then directed us to our seats.
Ultimately the flight went just fine, but this doesn't mean that we hadn't soaked through our clothes by the time we touched down at Antisiranana an hour later. We were stressed, to say the least.
